Dwarika’s Hotel Kathmandu
Nepal
A masterpiece of heritage and hospitality, Dwarika’s Hotel is more than a place to stay, it is a living museum of Kathmandu Valley’s Newari architecture. Every courtyard, carving, and tile tells a story, preserved by founder Dwarika Das Shrestha’s lifelong dedication to rescuing and restoring the region’s finest woodwork and craftsmanship.
The 76 rooms and suites are individually designed to blend intricate carved woodwork, handwoven textiles and original artworks with luxurious contemporary touches, each offering views over courtyards and a sense of timeless elegance. Dining at Dwarika’s is woven into its courtyards, where the hotel’s kitchens offer Nepalese and international cuisine within richly detailed settings. Guests are invited to explore experiences such as early morning Pashupatinath Walks, visits to the hotel’s Restoration Workshop where wood craftsmanship is preserved, and themed concerts in the courtyards.
