Star hotels already established in Nepal and those that will  soon  be operating will have to meet the international standards. According to the Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN), the process to prepare new standards of all hotels, rated one to five stars, is still in the pipeline. According to HAN representatives, even though Nepali star hotels are said to meet international standards, the reality is different and they do not completely  qualify. Prabin Pandey, Coordinator of hotel rating revision committee at HAN, said, “Nepali hotels are being enforced international standards to promote them in the international market.” A six- member committee was formed for this purpose after the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation directed to revise standards of star hotels on March 21. According to the suggestions given by the committee, member hotels will be directed to follow the standards, said a representative of HAN.

The committee will determine the number of rooms as well as the standards of suites, clubs and all kinds of rooms. Similarly, food quality and sanitation, along with the use of latest technology and electric doors will also be set as minimum standards. Currently, there are 10 five star hotels and two four star hotels in Nepal. Three and other star hotels are operating across the country.
