Best Hotels with Rooftop Bars & Pools in Kathmandu (2026)

Set within 37 acres of garden adjacent to the Boudhanath Stupa, the Hyatt Regency Kathmandu is the valley's finest international luxury hotel — built in traditional Newari design with carved peacock windows, sunken gardens, and a spa drawing on the valley's Buddhist wellness traditions. The morning view of the stupa from the upper floors, and the access it provides to Boudhanath's circumambulation ceremony at dawn, are genuinely moving.

Hotel Mulberry is Thamel's finest boutique property — a converted merchant's house with 35 individually designed rooms, a garden courtyard café, and a rooftop with Himalayan views on clear days. The owners are deeply embedded in the Kathmandu cultural scene; their recommendations for temples, galleries, and restaurants are the city's most curated.
