Mongol Shiltgeen is a 4-star hotel located in the village of Gachuurt, about twenty kilometres from Ulaanbaatar and roughly 40 km from the international airport. Set on the banks of the Tuul River, it stands out for its architecture inspired by Karakorum, the ancient Mongol imperial capital, which it endeavours to recreate in its own distinctive way.

Why choose Mongol Shiltgeen

The hotel will appeal to travellers seeking accommodation with a strong aesthetic vision, at the intersection of Mongol history and 4-star comfort. Three elements define it:

• A themed, carefully referenced architecture that openly cites Karakorum and draws from the imagery of the Forbidden City (red brick, soaring ceilings, pagoda style).
• A peri-urban location on the banks of the Tuul, close to Ulaanbaatar without enduring the capital's noise.
• A varied range of accommodation options, from standard rooms to junior suites called "Khaan" through to stone gers.

Atmosphere and architecture

Entry is through the main gate to the North. The hall, with its soaring ceilings and red brick walls, sets the tone upon arrival: you are experiencing a contemporary interpretation of Mongol and Chinese imperial architecture. The sculptures and carved wooden furnishings present throughout the common spaces reflect the work of Mongol artisans and reinforce the character of the place.

The restaurant occupies the heart of the site. Designed as a former temple pagoda, it opens onto broad panoramic windows offering views across the entire estate. The dining room can accommodate up to 250 guests and extends onto an outdoor terrace of approximately 500 m², used during the warmer months.

Rooms, suites and gers

The hotel has 108 rooms furnished with modern comfort. A notable feature: each room is individually furnished. Staff typically invite guests to view several options before selecting the one that best suits your tastes.

Junior suites "Khaan"

Ten junior suites, named "Khaan", offer greater space and a large bathtub. They cater to travellers seeking an upgrade for a longer stay near Ulaanbaatar.

Stone gers

The property also offers stone gers, a permanent, solid take on the traditional nomadic dwelling. An option to consider for those wishing to experience the poetry of the steppe while enjoying hotel-level comfort.

• Main restaurant in pagoda style, cuisine served in the dining room or on the terrace depending on the season.
