The first international brand in Shigatse, Tibet - Shigatse Hilton opens its doors!

After five years of renovation and upgrading on the site of the landmark Shigatse Hotel, the Hilton Shigatse Hotel officially opens, welcoming the first international brand hotel to the 'Home of Mount Everest'. The hotel is located in the central urban area of Shigatse, only 2 kilometers away from Tashilhunpo Monastery, and 50 kilometers from Shigatse Peace Airport. Shigatse is an essential route to the Everest Base Camp, which is about 300 kilometers away. The architectural facade is designed with the Tibetan characteristics of white and red, using unique Tibetan door decorations, eaves decorations, etc., abstractly reflecting Tibetan aesthetics. From a distance, it looks like a 'castle' rising from the plateau. The overall architecture presents a 'Hui' shaped enclosure, creating a private inner courtyard. The courtyard landscape, combined with the arrangement of the roof and the covered walkway, creates a rich and varied spatial hierarchy, giving the building a distinctive personality. Inside the building, the designers have retained the lobby and banquet hall structure of the old Shigatse Hotel, as well as the design of the ceiling caissons, allowing beautiful memories to continue. The hotel has 301 comfortable guest rooms, with designs inspired by the natural scenery of the surrounding mountains. Natural wood and modern color tones are used to create a cozy and warm atmosphere. To alleviate the discomfort of hypoxia in the high-altitude area, the hotel is equipped with diffusive and nasal oxygen supply facilities in the rooms, helping guests better adapt to the local environment and enjoy a safe and comfortable holiday. Strolling through the various areas of the hotel, elements of Tibetan culture such as the auspicious Tibetan sheep and black-necked cranes are cleverly presented in sculptures, paintings, and other artworks, with custom Tibetan furniture and decorations in the rooms. The hotel offers a rich variety of dining experiences, with 4 distinctive restaurants and bars serving a diverse range of Chinese and Western delicacies. The exquisite and elegant Yuxi Chinese restaurant offers Sichuan cuisine and Tibetan delicacies, with the chef boldly innovating to create a fusion of Sichuan-Tibetan cuisine, especially worth trying. The Liao|Barbecue Bar, located next to the hotel's outdoor garden, has a semi-open kitchen that allows guests to watch the chefs cook up close. The unique water feature creates a comfortable atmosphere, allowing guests to spend a wonderful time in a warm dining atmosphere. The 21-meter-high Zangyuan All-Day Dining restaurant offers themed buffets and an all-day chef's a la carte menu, featuring classic global cuisine, local Tibetan beef and mutton, and local staple foods such as Tsampa and butter tea.
