Lonely Planet review
This hotel is probably the best known in Nepal, due to its connections with the near-legendary Boris Lissanevitch, its original owner. The oldest section of the hotel is part of the Lal Durbar, a Rana palace that houses restaurants and a casino; these are worth a look for traces of an overblown but spectacular baroque decor and some excellent old black-and-white photos of Rana royalty. The actual rooms are in two modern wings: the older Newari wing incorporates Newari woodcarvings, oil brick walls and local textiles, while the Durbar wing is modern and stylish and has better bathroom facilities. Request a garden- facing room. There’s also a beautiful garden, two pools, tennis courts and a fitness centre. The borscht at the hotel’s famous Chimney Restaurant remains a tenuous link with its Russian past. Discounts of 20% are standard.
