Kathmandu has abundant hotels in every price category and most survived the 2015 earthquake with only minor damage, through a few heritage properties sustained more serious harm.
The Kathmandu hotels below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over US$200)
Moderate (US$75 to US$200)

These Kathmandu hotel prices are the starting prices for a double room per night. They include taxes but not breakfast. Hotel rates vary according to the season, with the high season running from October to November and February to April. There is a government tax of 13% applied to all room rates, and many hotels also charge a 10% service charge.
