Hotel Conference Venues in Kathmandu: Inside The Soaltee's Event Spaces

Planning a conference in Kathmandu means choosing a venue that can handle the guest list, the technology, and the little details that make an event run smoothly.

The Soaltee Kathmandu, Autograph Collection offers one of the city's largest hotel conference venues, with 14 event rooms spread across 12 acres of landscaped gardens in Tahachal.

Whether you're organizing a 20-person board meeting or a 1,500-guest conference, this guide walks through the spaces available, their capacities, and what makes this Kathmandu event space a practical choice for planners.

Why Choose The Soaltee for a Conference in Kathmandu

The Soaltee has hosted events in Kathmandu since 1966, so the hotel has decades of experience with everything from government summits to weddings and product launches. A few reasons planners keep coming back:

Scale. With roughly 2,262 square meters of total event space and 14 rooms, the property can host small workshops and large-scale conferences on the same day.
Location. The hotel sits about 9 km from Tribhuvan International Airport and around 3 km from central Kathmandu, making it easy for both local attendees and international delegates to reach.
Grounds. Twelve acres of gardens give the property room for outdoor receptions, garden dinners, and breakout sessions that indoor-only hotels can't offer.
On-site support. In-house AV technicians, business services, and catering teams mean planners don't need to bring in outside vendors for the basics.

Conference and Meeting Rooms at The Soaltee Kathmandu

The hotel's meeting rooms are named after elements of Nepali classical music, and each is built for a different type of event. Here's a breakdown of the spaces, based on the hotel's own capacity chart.

Room Area Ceiling Height Theatre Classroom U-Shape Megha Malhar (largest indoor hall) 95' x 66' (6,270 sq ft) 16' 700 250 150 Mangalam 57' x 66' (3,762 sq ft) 16' 400 150 80 Megha 47' x 66' (3,102 sq ft) 16' 350 125 75 Malhar 47' x 66' (3,102 sq ft) 16' 350 125 75 Manjari (Outdoor) 9,000 sq ft 20' 850 300 170 Sur Sudha 67' x 36' (2,412 sq ft) 9' 100 50 35 Marva 52' x 28.6' (1,487 sq ft) 8.5' 90 45 35 Sudha 41' x 36' (1,476 sq ft) 9' 80 45 35 Sargam 36' x 38' (1,368 sq ft) 9' 80 45 35 Madhavi 43' x 25' (1,075 sq ft) 9' 80 45 30 Malshree 33' x 33' (1,089 sq ft) 10' 80 36 30 Sur 36' x 26' (936 sq ft) 9' 84 30 22 Megha Lounge 19' x 19' (361 sq ft) 9.6' 40 18 – Malhar Lounge 19' x 19' (361 sq ft) 9.6' 40 18 – Boardroom 1 26' x 11' (286 sq ft) 9' Boardroom set-up, 17 people Boardroom 2 20' x 11' (220 sq ft) 9' Boardroom set-up, 9 people Boardroom 3 27' x 14' (378 sq ft) 9' Boardroom set-up, 17 people

Megha, Malhar, and Mangalam can be combined into the larger Megha Malhar Hall when an event needs the extra floor space, which is a common setup for conferences, exhibitions, and large corporate seminars. Combined, these three rooms plus Megha Malhar give planners the flexibility to scale a single event from a 350-person session up to a 700-person theatre without changing venues.

For smaller meetings, the three boardrooms and two lounges (Megha Lounge and Malhar Lounge) handle executive discussions, interviews, and closed-door negotiations without the overhead of a full banquet hall.

Outdoor Event Space in Kathmandu

Not every event works best indoors, and The Soaltee's outdoor spaces are part of what sets it apart from other conference hotels in the city.

Front Lawn: The largest space on the property, holding up to 1,500 guests for a reception and 1,200 for a theater-style gathering. This is typically used for large conferences, galas, and big weddings.
Manjari: A 9,000 sq ft outdoor garden space that seats up to 850 guests theatre-style, or works as a reception space for cocktail evenings and networking events.
Sundeck: A smaller outdoor deck for gatherings of up to 200, often used for post-conference drinks or informal breakout sessions.

These spaces are especially useful for multi-day conferences that want to pair formal sessions indoors with a relaxed dinner or networking event outdoors.

What's Included for Meetings and Events

Corporate planners generally ask about three things: technology, catering, and logistics support. Here's what's available on-site.

Audio-visual and technical equipment: LCD projectors, microphones, PA systems, TVs, video and teleconferencing setup, and an on-call AV technician for the duration of the event.

Event and business services: Registration support, event lighting, photography, security staff, printing and copy services, and a certified meeting planner to help coordinate logistics.

Catering: In-house catering covers everything from coffee breaks and continental breakfasts to full sit-down lunches and dinners, so there's no need to bring in outside caterers.

Who Uses These Spaces

The mix of indoor halls, boardrooms, and outdoor lawns means the venue works for a wide range of events, including:

Corporate conferences and annual general meetings
Government and diplomatic functions
Trade exhibitions and product launches
Training seminars and workshops
Weddings, receptions, and social celebrations

Because room sizes range from a 9-person boardroom to a 1,500-guest lawn, one property can realistically host a full week of mixed programming without needing to switch venues.

Getting There

The Soaltee Kathmandu is located in Tahachal, north of the city center, about 3 km from Kathmandu's main attractions and roughly 9 km from Tribhuvan International Airport. This puts it within easy reach for delegates flying in and for local attendees coming from central Kathmandu.
