Kathmandu's Star Alliance option — for Star Alliance Gold and business-class passengers.

About this lounge

This Radisson-branded lounge is Kathmandu's Star Alliance option, located on the departure floor at Tribhuvan International Airport. Access is for Star Alliance Gold status holders and passengers travelling in business class on a Star Alliance member airline. It's a calm, comfortable retreat from the busy terminal, with decor that leans into warm, earthy tones and traditional Nepali accents and soft, muted lighting that keeps the mood relaxed. Noise levels stay low, and the seating is arranged to give both privacy and room to stretch out, though it can get moderately busy at peak flight times. The food and drink offer is simpler than at KTM's larger lounges — snacks alongside hot and cold beverages rather than a full hot buffet — but it does the core job well: a quiet, orderly place to settle before a Star Alliance departure. If you hold Star Alliance status or a business-class ticket, it's the natural choice here.

A quiet place to sit and answer a few emails before boarding, but a relax-first lounge rather than a work space. Expect comfortable seating and a calm atmosphere rather than dedicated desks.

Food & drink

A lighter offer than KTM's larger lounges: snacks alongside hot and cold beverages to keep you going before a flight, rather than a full hot buffet. Enough to take the edge off between meals on a Star Alliance departure.
