Hotel Shambala, a newly opened boutique hotel at Bansbari is all set to redefine luxury and opulence. After three years of construction process, the Hotel came into operation from the first week of January. According to Laxmi Ghising, Executive Director of the Hotel, Shambala is a contemporary Tibetan themed boutique hotel. “Hotel Shambala is a modern hotel with a traditional touch, offering luxurious amenities,” said Ghising. 

 

The entire hotel is built around the theme of Tibetan art, and has its elements everywhere. It includes the use of bright and vibrant colours, Tibetan themed decorations and most noticeably, the use of typical clouds used in the art form. The front desk at the lobby, the walls and ceilings of rooms, pillows and bed sheets all have images of clouds.

With adequate space and a great view, all of the rooms are fully air-conditioned. There is a safety locker, coffee maker and LED TVs in each room. Great attention is paid to comfort and luxury, as all the furniture is very cosy and all the mattresses used are imported.  

 

Hotel Shambala also boasts of a multi-cuisine restaurant named Erma that spreads across a wide area, and can cater to around 80 diners at once. The restaurant also follows the theme of clouds, and is equally lavish as the Hotel itself. The restaurant serves Continental, Indian, Chinese and Tibetan delicacies among others.  There is a bar adjoining the restaurant with a good assortment of liquors.
