Description
Bahadur Bhavan was built in 1889 by Bir Shamsher, in the style of a Rana palace but with echoes of Islam. Here, in the 1950s, Boris Lissanevich opened the Hotel Royal, Kathmandu's first western-style hotel. Lissanevich, one of the first foreigners to live in Kathmandu, became well-known as a result of Michael Peissel's book "Tiger for Breakfast". The building is now occupied by the Electoral Commission.
