Shinta Mani Mustang
Best New Hotels in the World 2024
Condé Nast Traveller
Even by the standards of cult hotel designer Bill Bensley, this is a breakthrough project: for its location in this vast and mysterious landscape, but also for its embrace of Himalayan culture and spiritual traditions. Inside, Bensley’s quirky interiors showcase cashmere-felt runners and tiger rugs; banners referencing the prayer flags of the region; and lovely studies of the terrain by the Australian painter Robert Powell. There’s a large repertoire of excursions with knowledgeable guides to ethereal mountain lakes, centuries-old villages, and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries fragrant with juniper smoke.
