 The Summit is a very special
Nepali style hotel with western comfort.
Terraces set in spacious
flower gardens give views north across the Kathmandu valley to
the snow clad Himalayan range beyond.
Open balconies with hand made
tile floors and carved wooden pillars connect to the rooms.
A wide range of accommodation
is offered, from the self contained apartments in 'Summit
Towers' and the luxurious 'Himalaya View Wing Rooms', to the
original 'Garden Wing Rooms' and the good value budget
accommodation available in 'Holland House'.
The Summit has a famous bar
and restaurant, beautiful gardens and terraces, an outdoor
pool, beauty salon, business centre, conference and meeting
facilities, room service , wireless internet and telephones
from all rooms.
It was founded in 1978 by a
group of Dutchmen who had - and still have - a great affinity
for the country, its mountains, people, history and culture.
Together with a small group
of Nepalese - some are still working at the Summit Hotel -
they built 36 Garden Wing rooms and in 1990 the Himalayan View
Wings. Currently the hotel offers 73 rooms and employs some
150 Nepalese employees. A Nepalese and an English managing
director are currently in charge of the daily management. They
are supported by a Dutch Board of Directors and 8 shareholder
families.
Environment
Caring for the environment is
considered an intrinsic value of the Hotel, as it was founded
by trekkers and mountaineers who came to Nepal for the
culture, the purity of nature and the beautiful Himalayas.
The hotel gardens includes
unique and special plants and trees which provide a home for
birds and small animals.
Garbage is collected by the
'Women's Environmental Group'. In addition the hotel is
committed to reduce the amount of water use for washing and
showering. Rain water and low energy light bulbs are used in
the hotel.
As the demand for fuel and
water increases the hotel uses other resources, like solar
energy, recycled kitchen oil and 'grey water'.
Dining
Dining and wining, with an
excellent cuisine. The kitchen has been renovated recently,
and is one of the best equiped in Kathmandu. The terraces
offer an excellent place for outide lunch and dinner, in a
garden full of flowers with view on the snow capped Himalaya's.
