The Luxury Hotel Guide 
A list by Tomas Mazowski.
This guide was last updated in November 2022. Hey! When I travel I love to stay at luxurious hotels - especially the kind of places that offer over the top extras and really spoil their guests with great service, nice spas, awesome restaurants and beautiful views. What more can you want? To save some time, I've put together this list of my favourite 5-star hotels and resorts in Kathmandu. I hope you will like it!
