Hyatt Regency

A couple of kilometres outside central Kathmandu, the Hyatt is a luxurious 5* resort close to the famous Boudnath Stupa. The imposing, palace-like exterior has real wow factor as does the dramatic Newari-styled entranceway and the fabulous stupas in the foyer. There are several good dining options, acres of landscaped grounds with a large swimming pool and terrace bar. And if you're in need of pampering, try one of the Ayurvedic treatments at the Club Oasis spa. Rooms are spacious and elegant with hardwood floor and tasteful furnishings, and many offer a view of the all-seeing Buddha eyes atop the splendid dome of Boudnath.
