Ayan Zalaat Hotel & Spa: Contemporary Luxury in Ulaanbaatar

Ayan Zalaat Hotel & Spa is a rare arrival: a contemporary luxury hotel and Leading Hotels of the World member in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, a country better known for its vast steppe and Gobi Desert than its city hotels. It brings genuine international polish to the heart of the capital.

Its dining is unusually broad for the city. The 8 Ounce Steakhouse & Grill handles premium meats and seafood; Roma Ristorante serves classic Italian; Lost in China offers regional Chinese from dim sum to Beijing duck; the Nipponian Room brings Japanese sushi and teppanyaki; and cultural venues such as the Soma Temple Buddhist dining room and the Ayan Theatre add local depth, alongside a patisserie, wine cellar and cigar lounge.

For travelers beginning or ending a Mongolian journey in comfort, Ayan Zalaat is the capital's standout.
