Dwarika's Hotel

A living museum of salvaged Newari craftsmanship — Nepal's definitive heritage hotel.

About this place

Boutique HotelKathmandu

Summary

Dwarika's is Nepal's most significant heritage hotel — founder Dwarika Das Shrestha spent decades salvaging carved Newari timber and brick from demolished buildings, and the hotel is essentially a living museum of them. Rooms wrap courtyards; the Krishnarpan restaurant serves multi-course Newari feasts by reservation. Pricey, but one of the world's great stays.

Skip if

Skip if it's beyond budget — but even non-guests can book Krishnarpan dinner for a taste of it.
