Lhasa Kyichu Hotel

About Lhasa Kyichu Hotel

The Kyichu Hotel in Lhasa is named after the Kyichu River, which in Tibetan is known as "the river of happiness". A tributary of the Yarlung Tsangpo (also known as Brahmaputra), and the cradle of the ancient Tibetan civilization, the river meanders through the fertile valley in which the fabled and formerly forbidden city of Lhasa is situated.

The Kyichu Hotel is conveniently situated between the sacred Jokhang Temple in Barkhor Square, and the famed World Heritage Potala Palace - and just a few minutes walk from both - in the ancient, traditional quarter of Lhasa. The Kyichu Hotel, like its namesake river, will also bring you happiness and an unforgettable stay while in Tibet.

As one of the oldest private hotels in Lhasa catering to travellers, the Kyichu is a cozy 52-room, family run establishment. The 52 spacious rooms in traditional Tibetan decor ranging from standard to deluxe are all provided with attached bathroom and 24 hour hot/cold running water. Besides, its indoor/outdoor Kyichu Garden Restaurant with umbrella tables on a spacious green courtyard lawn serves a wide selection of Continental, North Indian Tandoori, Nepalese and Tibetan dishes prepared by our experienced Tibetan and Nepalese chefs. Or just sit in the garden and relax nursing a drink or a pot of tea.

You will be treated as their family members, with personalised service and individual attention. Making the Kyichu your base in Tibet, you will also enjoy completely satisfying service offered by the friendly and knowledgeable English-speaking staff.
