According to Booking.com, Hostelworld.com and Tripadvisor, the closest proper hotel to Kedarnath is Shivalik Valley Resorts, which is approximately 19km away on foot. Tripadvisor reviews confirm that it's a good starting point for a trek to Kedarnath:
We had a wonderful experience here. Slept well, ate well and felt fully ready to make the climb to Kedarnath! Hot showers after the hike felt phenomenal! I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel and would stay here again in the future.
