About us

Tucked in the cultural heart of Kathmandu, Hotel Yak & Yeti opened its doors on September 27, 1977, as Nepal’s first five-star hotel. What began as a heritage haven with 120 exquisitely designed rooms has since blossomed into a distinguished retreat of 241 rooms and suites, marrying classical grandeur with modern indulgence. From the moment you enter, the hotel unfolds like a living museum. Antique artifacts, traditional woodwork, hand-carved details and artistic flourishes narrate the timeless story of Nepal’s rich architectural and cultural legacy. Each corner invites discovery, whether it’s the soft whisper of history echoing through the carved Aakhi Jiyal at the reception or the ornate Panas (oil lamps) glowing softly at dusk. Outside, lush gardens bloom with serenity. Manicured lawns, a tranquil koi pond, and curated sculptures create a sanctuary of calm perfect for reflective mornings or evening strolls beneath the soft golden light of Kathmandu. Lal Durbar Convention Centre is a Palace Reimagined for Prestigious Gatherings. Anchoring the hotel’s legacy is the Lal Durbar Convention Centre, a magnificently restored wing of the historic Lal Durbar Palace, originally built in 1885 by Prime Minister Bir Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana. This architectural gem, influenced by European, Persian, and Nepali styles, has been reimagined as a venue of splendor, hosting elegant weddings, global conferences, gala dinners, and cultural affairs. Each hall within the center radiates regal character and modern convenience, ensuring your event be it intimate or grand is steeped in distinction. With dedicated event specialists, state-of-the-art facilities, and timeless charm, the Lal Durbar Convention Centre stands as Kathmandu’s most prestigious venue for remarkable occasions. Hotel Yak & Yeti offers more than a stay it offers a cultural experience. Guests are welcomed by a vibrant Ganesha statue, symbolic of auspicious beginnings and immersed in artistry at every turn. At the shopping arcade, curated local handicrafts and souvenirs invite you to take a piece of Nepal home. In the lounge, a striking gazebo installation by renowned artist Tsherin Sherpa fuses traditional Tibetan Buddhist motifs with contemporary storytelling, reflecting Nepal’s spiritual heritage through a modern lens. Despite its modern transformation, Yak & Yeti holds sacred the traditions it was built upon. Restored heritage details blend seamlessly with world-class hospitality and amenities, creating a space where guests experience both the warmth of Nepali culture and the sophistication of a global five-star hotel. Whether you're here for business or leisure, a celebration or a retreat, Yak & Yeti offers more than a stay it offers a sense of belonging, of beauty, and of Nepal itself.
