KGH Thamel

From The Beatles and Lonely Planet’s Tony Wheeler in the 1970s, legendary mountaineers, authors and explorers in the ‘80s & ‘90s to present-day parliamentarians, presidents and world-famous artists, the Kathmandu Guest House (KGH) has been housing travelers since 1968. From the iconic Heritage Building built in 1902 to the modern-designed rooms in the new annexes, the KGH has always been at the top of restoration and upgrading every year. Being in the heart of Thamel, the KGH is known as a landmark, as it was the KGH that started the tourist hub of Thamel. Within the compounds of KGH, luscious 15,000 sq. ft. of manicured garden with mango, pomelo, multi colored bougainvillea trees & well curated art, you can enjoy solitude, laughter with friends, or the sun with a cold drink or a hot cup of Himalayan coffee. With the recent opening of the Museum of Nepali Art (MoNA) and the Kathmandu Art House within its premises, the Kathmandu Guest House (KGH) stands as one of the very few hotels in the world to house a world-class museum. MoNA is dedicated to celebrating the works of living Nepali artists, spanning the spectrum from traditional to contemporary visual arts. Meanwhile, the Kathmandu Art House offers a vibrant open studio experience where guests can meet artists in action, engage with their creative process, and purchase original artworks on the spot. KGH is an immersive experience, tastefully serving authentic Nepali, Chinese, Indian and Continental cuisine with most probably the best Himalayan coffee. One can also enjoy a Nepali tea ceremony experience with flagship store of Nepal Tea Collective. The rooftop lounge on the 7th floor is a perfect sundowner to view the Swayambhunath Stupa in the Himalayan sunset. With 115 different priced rooms, the size and views may be a bit different, but our hospitality is the same. Being one of the earliest running hotels of Nepal, we take pride in our values and serve all our guests with warmth.
