Dwarika’s Hotel

Lovingly conceived and created over the course of 40 years, Dwarika's is the embodiment of Kathmandu's rich cultural history. Nepalese carvings, furniture and architectural relics have been rescued from abandoned Newari palaces and temples and intertwined with the fabric of the building giving a real sense that you're stepping back in time. But Dwarika's is no living museum, artfully blending 5* quality and contemporary facilities with its heritage ambience. Rooms are light, airy and uber-comfy with hand-made furniture and stylish touches including fresh flowers and biscuits straight from the oven. The outdoor swimming pool and tranquil terrace are a draw on hot days and there's no better place to enjoy a special meal than the Krishnarpan Restaurant - its multi-course feast inspired by the best of Nepali cuisine might just be the highlight of your entire holiday.
