Maya Manor is a historic mansion turned boutique hotel. Situated near the previous Royal Palace, where the ill-fated Royal Massacre occurred on 1 June 2001, the magnificently restored historic Maya Manor stands tall in the commercial hub of the city showcasing the grandeur of European colonial influenced architecture which was introduced to Nepal in the 1800s by its Rana rulers. The earthquake in 2015 partially damaged the mansion but was meticulously renovated and at the same time a new block of seven-storied building with the same old colonial architecture was added to turn it into a hotel. The hotel is ideally located just a few footsteps away from the prestigious Durbar Marg which is the city’s best address for trendy cafés and restaurants and other commercial businesses like airlines, banks, department stores, and souvenir shops. Maya Manor Boutique Hotel is a perfect address for businessmen and distinguished travellers.
