Kathmandu, the vibrant capital of Nepal, is a gateway to the Himalayas. Renowned for its ancient temples, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and spiritual heritage, the city blends centuries-old traditions with an urban atmosphere. It offers travelers an immersive experience steeped in history, art, and natural beauty. Set within the city, The Soaltee Kathmandu, Autograph Collection has a history dating back to 1966.

Situated on 12 acres of landscaped grounds in Kathmandu’s Tahachal area, the property has long been a preferred destination for dignitaries, celebrities, and travelers seeking luxury and authenticity. The interiors of the hotel are infused with local artistry—featuring wooden jaalis, exposed bricks, and traditional Thangka paintings—creating an ambiance that honors Nepalese heritage while embracing modern comfort. Each guestroom and suite blends traditional Nepali elements with luxurious amenities, high-end furnishings, and contemporary technology.
