Hotel Yak & Yeti (Kathmandu -
Five Star) |
Kathmandu retains its
architectural reminders of the Rana period
scattered throughout the city. One of them is
the Red Palace or Lal Durbar, situated in the
heart of the city, minutes walk from Durbar Marg.
It should come as no surprise that in the
legendary valley of Kathmandu, there should
exist a Restaurant with legends as tall as Mt.
Everest. This Restaurant, The Yak & Yeti, was
founded by Boris Lissanevitch, who came to
Kathmandu from Russia via the Russian Army,
Dlaghllev's Ballets Russes, the Opera Monte
Carlo, a cabaret stint in Shanghai, and the Club
called The 300, that brightened Calcutta before
and during the years of World War II - a club
where Maharajas outnumbered ordinary members and
where the impossible always happened. Kathmandu
had then just opened its gates to outsiders when
Boris arrived to set up the country's first
Western-type hotel in a very opulent, very
Nepalese-type palace and welcomed the first
batch of foreign tourists to visit the
"Forbidden Kingdom".
Since the Restaurant built by Borris - The
Chimney was a big success, the idea of building
a Hotel was conceived in the early seventies. A
120-room hotel with 5 star amenities was
completed in the year 1977. After a successful
run of 12 years, the need was felt to enhance
the hotel's size and facilities.
Now an extension of 150 deluxe rooms and suites
have been built (designed to harmonize with the
special features of the Lal Durbar) to
supplement the existing accommodation, bringing
the total number of rooms available in the hotel
to 270 rooms.
With the historic character of the hotel and the
new and upgraded facilities, the Yak & Yeti will
continue to be the city's leading luxury
business and leisure hotel. Although it is an
ultra modern hotel, the traditional Nepali
architectural features have been preserved. Some
of the display carved windows are more than 200
years old. It captures the old charm and style
of Kathmandu, while providing the international
quality standards of accommodation and dining
facilities. Clearly there is no hotel in
Kathmandu that blends International service
style to the grand Nepalese tradition better
than the Yak & Yeti |
