The best accommodations Pokhara

One of Pokhara's most chic addresses, the Bahari is a 5-star hotel in the heart of Lakeside, which unfurls its garden and elegant swimming pool in front of its modern building. It has taken the codes of Newar architecture, with its bricks and exposed beams, and combined them with contemporary lines. The 80 luxury rooms make the Barahi a popular choice, and reservations are often required. However, if you're looking to rent a standard room, there are only ten or so available. Deluxe rooms are more spacious.

Located at the start of Lakeside, this charming little hotel offers affordable rooms in an authentic setting, as much for the architecture of the building as for its decoration and furnishings. The elaborate balconies and mosaic slate facade of the hotel, surrounded by greenery, ensure a pleasant welcome. For the small difference in price, we recommend the rooms with mountain views. The bedding is comfortable, the equipment optimal (air conditioning and fan), the cleanliness impeccable and the breakfast excellent. Terrace overlooking the lake.

This luxurious sanctuary is nestled in a quiet valley of lush vegetation just outside Pokhara, in a bucolic setting. It offers majestic views of the Himalayas from its designer pool. The 14 luxury villas, open to nature, are set off by dark wood floors and exposed stone walls. A green resort whose restaurant cooks ingredients from its own organic farm, with a wonderful spa and yoga studio.

This is Pokhara's most poetic luxury hotel: you have to take a boat for a few minutes to reach it. The lodge is a well-placed old address near Lakeside, offering an enchanting setting. A vast, green eden with a breathtaking view of the lake from the restaurant terrace. The rooms, some of which are currently being renovated and others which have retained an old-fashioned air of period lodges in attractive woodwork, are arranged in rotunda cottages and all have private terraces. Small swimming pool with wooden deck.

This 4-star hotel is housed in a building with a neoclassical façade that stands out a little in the landscape. The interior is more Newari, with bricks everywhere. Rooms are spacious and well-equipped, in a classic, somewhat neutral Nepalese style. Highlights include an outdoor swimming pool overlooking the lake, an intimate and charming spa, Maya Rejuvenate, and an excellent buffet breakfast. It has a ground-level restaurant with a terrace facing the street, and another table on its rooftop, to enjoy the view and the breeze.

What a pleasant hotel for small budgets. Its strong point is its position facing the lake, north of Lakeside, offering lake views from the rooms, which don't cost much. The air-conditioned rooms all have en-suite bathrooms with hot water. They are furnished simply and locally. You'll appreciate all the services of a hotel here, especially the restaurant, which boasts a terrace overlooking the lake. Warm welcome and family management, good breakfast, tasty and affordable dishes.

This small, affordable hotel, ideally located in Lakeside, hides a magnificent small swimming pool in a lush garden where the restaurant's tables are also set. The interiors are magnificent, the exteriors relaxing. Its other major asset: a terrace with a sublime view of the lake and forest. The less expensive rooms are really comfortable, and only the executive suites have a private terrace overlooking the lake. The hotel is really pleasant, the staff friendly, the food delicious, an excellent address.

Located 3 km from Pokhara airport, this 4-star eco-friendly hotel is an elegant building in gray and ochre brick. Itoffers 84 rooms with classic tones and luxury standards. Some have the privilege of overlooking the magnificent Phewa Lake or the spectacular Himalayan mountains. Its finest assets: a magnificent rooftop swimming pool and a spa with steam bath and sauna. This grand hotel offers a wealth of services: gym, bar, café, restaurant... A small shopping mall livens up the place.

This is a superbly charming resort hotel, made up of several buildings all beautifully arranged around a large swimming pool, its greatest asset. All rooms are beautifully decorated, most have a terrace or balcony and all overlook the pool and adjoining garden. The Bay Leaf restaurant offers world cuisine, and the bar is welcoming and comfortable. Don't hesitate to treat yourself to a massage, bath or scrub. An excellent luxury address just a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of Lakeside.

A cute little guest house that serves as an anchor for many Pokhara backpackers, as it offers private rooms that are surprisingly inexpensive for their charm. They are decorated with tastefully chosen bedspreads, paintings and local furniture. Clean, double, twin or family rooms, some have en-suite bathrooms and balconies. The decor is meticulous, the floors warm and the restaurant with its tree-lined terrace pleasant. The kindness of the staff is obvious. As a bonus, this inn is located in Lake Side.

Located on Lakeside Street No. 3, the New Pokhara Lodge is a small, charming lakeside hotel in Pokhara. It offers three types of reasonably priced rooms: economy, standard and deluxe. The three-storey building offers a bathroom in every room and free Wi-Fi. Guests can enjoy the beautiful sunny gardens with a variety of seasonal flowers and plants. Some rooms offer breathtaking views of the Annapurna Mountains, Fishtail (Machhapuchhre), Dhaulagiri and Manaslu Himal. The hotel also provides a computer in the lobby for printing airline tickets or for business use. The New Pokhara Lodge received the Travelers Choice Award in 2017 and 2018, as well as the Certificate of Excellence from 2013 to 2019.

A 30-minute paddle across the Pokhara Lake in a rowboat takes you to this resort, which is already quite a journey to reach. You disembark in the middle of an exceptionally biodiverse nature reserve. A handful of bungalows nestled into the hillside blend in with nature. Their panoramic windows offer breathtaking views of the calm waters and the peaks in the background. The hotel is superb in every detail.

The best hostel in Pokhara, located in Lakeside and facing the lake. We love its international cosmopolitan atmosphere and impeccable cleanliness. The dormitories are well-designed, with beds isolated in curtained cabins and equipped with lamp, socket and locker (though lacking air-conditioning). Rooms have attractive panelling on the walls and private bathrooms. Cosy terrace overlooking the lake (as do some balcony rooms).

On the shores of the lake, this hotel offers 18 well furnished and pleasantly decorated rooms. They have a private bathroom and a view of the lake and mountains. A bar and restaurant are at the disposal of travellers, and the roof terrace offers moments of rest with a very beautiful view.
