The Terraces Resort and Spa in Kathmandu appears in the EMPTYJET guide of 7,777 hotels, carrying an EMPTYJET Consensus of 94/100. The property is suite-led, with 46 suites including 2 Terraces Suites, and an architect-designed build by Australian Architect Tim Linkins with interiors by Jurij Salluzzo. Dining is a visible part of the offer — Elevate, Azure and Nepali Kitchen present a farm-to-table concept with local and international dishes, fresh teas and locally infused cocktails — and the site provides views of the Himalayan range and the cities of Bhaktapur, Patan and Kathmandu.

The origins of The Terraces Resort and Spa trace back to 1994, when Sherpa acquired several acres of land at Lakhuri Bhanjyang. This foundational step set the stage for the development of the resort, which has since become a notable hospitality destination in Kathmandu.

The architectural vision for The Terraces Resort and Spa was realised by Australian architect Tim Linkins, whose design integrates the natural terraced landscape into the resort’s identity. The name 'Terraces' itself is a nod to both the landscape and the spacious balconies that are a feature of every suite. The interiors were crafted by Italian designer Jurij Salluzzo, bringing a European sensibility to the resort’s aesthetic. Together, the architecture and interiors create a harmonious blend of local context and international design expertise.

The resort comprises 46 suites, including two signature Terraces Suites. Guests can choose from Superior Suites, Deluxe Suites, and the Terraces Presidential Suite. Each suite is designed to maximise the panoramic views and features a spacious balcony, in keeping with the property’s terraced concept. The suite-only configuration ensures a consistent level of space and comfort throughout the accommodation offering.

Dining at The Terraces Resort and Spa is centred around a farm-to-table philosophy, with a focus on both local and international dishes. The resort features two main restaurants and bars:

• Elevate: Serving as the all-day dining venue, Elevate offers a menu that highlights fresh, locally sourced ingredients alongside international favourites.

• Azure: The Pool Deck Bistro & Bar, Azure, provides a relaxed setting for guests to enjoy light meals, fresh teas, and locally infused cocktails.

• Nepali Kitchen: This immersive kitchen experience showcases authentic Nepali cuisine, allowing guests to engage with the region’s culinary traditions.

• Sundowner: A dedicated bar for evening drinks and social gatherings.

The culinary programme is further distinguished by its emphasis on fresh teas and locally inspired beverages, complementing the diverse food offerings.

Wellness facilities at The Terraces Resort and Spa include a sauna, a swimming pool, and a fitness centre. These amenities are designed to support relaxation and rejuvenation, providing guests with opportunities for both exercise and restorative downtime during their stay.

This high rating underscores the property’s commitment to guest satisfaction and attentive service.
