Located at the confluence of the Yarlung Tsangpo River and the Nyangchu River, Shigatse is the second-largest city in Tibet. Hilton Hotel Shigatse enjoys a prime location in the heart of the city on Shanghai Middle Road, close to many famous attractions, including Tashilhunpo Monastery—meaning “Auspicious Sumeru Mountain” in Tibetan—and Samdruptse Dzong Fortress, often referred to as the “Little Potala Palace” of Shigatse. The hotel is approximately 300 kilometers from the “Roof of the World” — Everest Base Camp, and offers convenient access to Shigatse’s commercial districts and transport hubs, being just 7 kilometers from Shigatse Railway Station and around 50 kilometers from Peace Airport.
Hilton Hotel Shigatse is designed with a distinctive Tibetan aesthetic, immersing guests in an authentic cultural journey through intricate details and craftsmanship. The property stands on the original site of the historic Shigatse Hotel, which opened in 1985 and became one of Tibet’s first modern buildings—a nostalgic symbol for the local community. Today, Hilton Shigatse adopts a traditional “square courtyard” architectural layout, resembling a castle rising from the plateau. Inside, the design retains the original lobby structure and traditional coffered ceilings from the old Shigatse Hotel, preserving the essence of the past. The lush courtyard and tranquil water features create a rare green oasis amidst the majestic surrounding mountains.
The hotel features 301 comfortable and elegantly appointed guestrooms, inspired by the rolling landscapes of the surrounding mountains. Interiors blend natural wood with modern tones to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Rooms are equipped with custom Tibetan-style furnishings, high-speed Wi-Fi, 55-inch HD LED TVs, spacious walk-in showers, and luxury Crabtree & Evelyn bath amenities, ensuring guests a rejuvenating stay. Hilton Hotel Shigatse also offers 11 connecting rooms, providing flexible options for families and groups. To help guests acclimatize to the high altitude, all rooms are equipped with both dispersed and nasal oxygen supply systems, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and worry-free experience for every traveler visiting Shigatse.
