Established since 1977 the Yak & Yeti Hotel stands proud as an impressive building in its own right. Well Known for its world class hospitality with its historic architecture, a new contemporary concept is interwoven within its Guestrooms and Suites across all Guest floors.
A New Narrative Language
The Durbar Deluxe Room is more than just a guestroom; it’s a journey through Nepal’s rich culture and history. Drawing inspiration from local surroundings, the design team at Michelle Evans and Associates (MEA) has created a unique narrative language that blends global design elements with authentic Nepalese touches. The use of local materials and attention to detail evoke a strong sense of place, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the Nepalese experience.
Art as a Focal Point
The Durbar Deluxe Room is a showcase of local artistry. Commissioned panels by renowned artist Tenzing Norbu Lama depict daily life in the Himalayan mountains, serving as a powerful focal point in the room. These authentic depictions offer guests a glimpse into the lives of Sherpas and Yaks, adding depth and meaning to their stay.
A Cultural Tapestry
The design of the room is a cultural tapestry, weaving together various elements of Nepalese heritage. MEA worked closely with artisans in bringing locally crafted Tibetan Handmade Rugs along with Metal brass works to the guestrooms. The wooden bed headboard, inspired by Bhaktapur’s rich wood carvings, narrates a sense of luxury in a contemporary design. Bespoke light fixtures inspired by Buddhist prayer wheels add a spiritual touch, while the use of pastel and turquoise hues creates a harmonious and sophisticated atmosphere.
A Blend of Old and New
The Durbar Deluxe Room is a harmonious blend of old and new. While preserving the historic essence of the Yak & Yeti experience, the design incorporates modern elements to create a comfortable and luxurious space. The open layout, featuring a sliding panel to the bathroom, and the use of rich materials and finishes contribute to the room’s sophisticated ambiance.
A Truly Unforgettable Experience
The renovated Durbar Deluxe Room offers guests a truly unforgettable experience. With its stunning design, luxurious amenities, and cultural immersion, it’s the perfect choice for travelers seeking a blend of comfort, elegance, and authenticity.
