Shinta Mani Mustang
Mustang, Nepal · Shinta Mani · High Luxury
Bill Bensley redesigned this Jomsom lodge, built into the mountainside in 2017 by Nepali architect Prabal Thapa using local Baglung stone, when Nepal's Sherpa Hospitality Group relaunched it as Shinta Mani Mustang in 2023. Every one of its 29 suites has floor-to-ceiling windows framing the snow-capped Nilgiri range, and Bensley furnished them with locally made Tibetan rugs, yak-fur-topped stools, and studies of the Mustang landscape by American painter Robert Powell. A resident Amchi, an 11th-generation Tibetan medicine doctor, prescribes treatments in the on-site spa.
