The Dwarika's Kathmandu Hotel *****
Built upon a rich tradition of Nepali hospitality and incorporating some of the country's most exquisite architectural traditions, the Dwarikas Hotel in Kathmandu is an authentic experience of Nepal's ancient cultural heritage.
The architectural beauty of the hotel rests upon its extensive collection of intricately carved wood and terracotta works dating as far back as the 14th century, lovingly restored by Nepal's finest craftsmen. This collection of artefacts is an integral part of the hotel's design, spirit and ethos.
Located in the heart of the city, yet conveniently close to the airport, the Dwarika's Kathmandu is an ideal base from which guests can explore Nepal's infinite charms. The spacious courtyards, palatial rooms, and Nepali warmth make it a luxurious retreat and an experience to treasure.
Sit back and relax at the end of the day with a book from the library. Delve into Nepali culture and history or plan your next exotic escape – the choice is yours.
Swim like a king in a pool reminiscent of 12th century Malla Dynasty baths. Or if that sounds too active, sip a sun-downer, poolside.
At the unique Pancha Kosha Spa, you will find a range of massages that draw on ancient wisdom from the Himalayan region. Guests can also rejuvenate themselves through the daily yoga classes.
Pick out gifts for your loved ones and support Nepali producers by choosing from a range of high quality items such as jewellery, Thanka paintings, handicrafts and Nepali Pashmina shawls. Or for a different type of souvenir, pick up a book that will keep you dreaming of Nepal long after you leave.
The Dwarika's Kathmandu takes pride in its ability to meet all the needs of its guests. Receive first class service and support, whatever you require.
Wireless internet connection is available in all rooms for a small charge.
The Dwarika's Kathmandu has a selection of three restaurants and a bar that serve their own unique set of flavors and delicacies. Meals, from multi-cultural Nepali cuisines to its range of continental dishes and Japanese flavors, are prepared with freshly picked vegetables from the Dwarika's own organic farm.
With 79 meticulously designed rooms and suites, the Dwarika's Kathmandu offers a regal experience comparable to the royal suites of the 14th century Malla Kings of Nepal.
Each room has been individually designed to immaculately mesh a contemporary lifestyle with a flavor of Newari motifs and stylistic living. Interspersed with artworks from another age, each room provides access to the antiquated art of the Newars dating as far back as the 14th century.
Remaining true to the earthy living that symbolized traditional life in the valley, the rooms capture the essence of such a lifestyle without compromise. The linen is organically produced and hand woven. The furniture is custom designed and handmade. The amenities rival the best luxury hotels. The attention to detail and personal service guarantee to make you feel at home.
