Hotel Norbu Linka is a modern, secluded place with a vague Tibetan feel, on the fringes of Thamel. The opulent suites are great for families and the restaurant is open 24 hours, so if you are jet lagged and have kids, look no further. The brochure even boasts 'baby sitters on request'! This Tibetan-run hotel is down an alley opposite the interesting Thamel Gaa Hiti, one of the city's old water tanks, so it's a quiet and interesting part of the city but just a couple of minutes from the shops and cafes of central Thamel.
