Five-star resort hotel set on 37 acres of landscaped gardens in Boudhanath area. Features contemporary luxury, multiple pools, extensive spa, and the famous Rox Restaurant with valley views.
Hyatt Regency Kathmandu occupies a 37-acre landscaped estate in the Taragaon district near Boudhanath, roughly 6 km east of Thamel. The resort was developed around the historic Taragaon Museum — a circular concrete building designed by Carl Pruscha in the 1970s that once housed a UNDP rural architecture programme — integrating contemporary international hotel standards with a site of architectural significance within the valley. The combination makes it one of the few five-star properties in Kathmandu with a genuinely distinctive cultural layer beneath the luxury amenities.
The hotel offers 280 rooms and suites arranged in low-rise wings across the gardens, divided into Standard, Deluxe, Club, and Suite categories. Rooms are spacious by Kathmandu standards, fitted with marble bathrooms, large beds, and views over either the gardens or the Boudhanath Stupa environs. Club-floor guests access a dedicated lounge with daily breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktail service.
Dining spans five venues: Rox Restaurant is the flagship, serving a broad international and Nepali menu with an open kitchen and garden terrace; Chin Chin offers Cantonese and pan-Asian cuisine; the Lobby Lounge handles lighter meals and cocktails; the Poolside Bar caters to leisure swimmers; and the Casino operates its own restaurant. The outdoor pool is one of the largest in the valley, supplemented by a dedicated children's pool. The Club Oasis Spa offers a full menu of treatments including Ayurvedic therapies, and the fitness centre is open around the clock. Business facilities include a ballroom and a suite of meeting rooms. Boudhanath Stupa — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is approximately a 10-minute walk from the main gate.
