Hotels in Kathmandu is Ready to Welcome foreign travelers as the Nepal uplift the on-arrival-visa Ban.

What does Arushi Boutique Hotel have to offer Post COVID?

We, Arushi Boutique Hotel, one of the finest boutique hotel in Kathmandu Valley is all prepared to welcome foreign guest. Inspired by the beautiful valley of Mustang, a hidden kingdom behind the Himalayas; Arushi Boutique Hotel recreates the timeless flavor of Nepal's elegant past through the finest antiques and architectural design.

Long before the government imposed a ban restricting international travelers to Nepal has been uplifted, we have been lining up with the post-COVID health precautions and adopting government-issued health protocol, so that we do not lack anything once our beloved guest enters our property. We are doing all we can so that the guest choosing to stay at our property don't feel insecure and feel their health has been compromised.

In the first phase, we have made masks and globes compulsory for all the staff on the hotel premises. And these rules should be followed by all our guests as well. Similarly, we are cleaning all the rooms, cushions, sofa, and beds of all the rooms and sanitize them as a precaution. So hygiene is not an issue in Arushi Boutique Hotel.

As we open and come back to business, it will be a big challenge for us, we will assure your health and safety will not be compromised. We are incorporating sanitizing sprays and anti-bacterial agents to completely clean the floors and the amenities, while we are also working with the disinfecting agencies to keep the hotel environment as possible.

Safety Precautions and Health Protocol We Practise

Considering the severeness of the COVID-19 virus, we have requested all our staff to get their vaccination as per safety measures. With the release of these guidelines, all our staff has been vaccinated. So if you are willing to stay in our property, we assure you that you will have a most pleasant stay with us without compromising hygiene and health.

In preparation to welcome our beloved foreign guests, we are also formulating new protocols. We are consulting with the health experts on how we can minimize the risk of getting infected with the virus. We have already come up with some safety protocols like automatic sanitizing dispensers to disinfect the hands. Similarly we also regularly keep track of the temperature of our staff, and if any changes are seen in the health condition, we isolate them to sustain the possible risk of transmitting the disease. Not only that we also keep track of the temperature who enters our hotel as a safety measure.

Similarly, we are trying to make the checking-in process untouched and easy. The system to make the digital check-in system is in development. Once the system is live, you will be able to check in to our property through your mobile phone. This is a small effort by us to make the entire checking untouched and hassle-free. If you are uncomfortable getting more exposed to people and feel unsafe, we have requested all the staff to maintain their distance while interacting with you. Not only that, we have also started a cashless system i.e. we encourage all our guests to make payments through digital means or using cards because carrying cash is a hassle on its own, and money travels through various people, so even with most precautions there is always a possible risk of getting infected.

We are trying everything we can to keep the environment of our hotel as safe as possible for our guest so that they don’t have to worry about getting infected and have a restful mind during your stay. And when you depart, we will love to see the smile of our guests.
