The Dwarika's
Kathmandu, Nepal · Dwarika's · High Luxury
Dwarika Das Shrestha began rescuing carved Newari frames and pillars from Kathmandu's streets in the 1950s. His preservation project grew into this family-owned hotel, where seventy-six rooms use timberwork, terracotta, pottery and furnishings from the collection's own workshops. Courtyards, the Krishnarpan dining ritual and a living museum atmosphere make a stay part of the family's continuing work rather than a static heritage display.
- 76 rooms
- Opened 1972
- Rooms from 431 sq ft (40 m²)
