 Nepal has eight World Heritage sites and has
won two Heritage Awards. One for the Medieval City of
Bhaktapur and the other for The Dwarika's Hotel.
The magnificence of The Dwarika's is its
buildings of intricate carved wood and terracotta work that
must have taken 10 million hours of the best craftsmen in
Nepal. Every brick is handmade and every piece of wood work a
centuries old original. But The Dwarika's is also about
intimate luxury and the spirit and hospitality of the Nepali
people.
The spirit of a bygone era still echoes within
its courtyards where a terracotta pillar: a first of its kind,
stands proud, an example of superb craftsmanship.
Dwarika Das Shrestha, the founder of
The Dwarika's Hotel whose spirit and passion laid out the
master plan of this unique place and who gave the best part of
his life to build it, leading hundreds of the best builders
and craftsmen.
Introduction :
Dwarika's
Hotel is a unique place in South Asia. It is a living example
that tourism need not destroy heritage and the environment. On
the contrary, it has demonstrated that a proper blending of
cultural restoration and tourism leads to the preservation of
historical artifacts and contributes to the growth of skills
and culture that would otherwise have eroded from the crass
commercialism of today. It has shown that heritage can be
preserved and be used for further preservation works. In fact,
it could be the model to demonstrate what must be done to
preserve the look of Kathmandu Valley - a stepping stone
towards the larger and more gigantic task of rehabilitating
the uniqueness and beauty of Kathmandu currently experiencing
severe environmental stress of uncontrolled modernization.
Accommodation : Guests enjoy a tradition of casual
elegance; comfort assured by an uncommon attention to detail
and personal service.
74 Deluxe Rooms and Suites.
Each of the rooms has its own character and individuality.
There are 16th century windows in many, while there are
private courtyards attached to others. Buddhist symbols on
hand printed curtains and bed spreads are used with
traditional fabrics and accessories.
Spacious and luxurious, our suites and
rooms have been individually designed with imagination and
taste. Each one different and unique: you will find all the
amenities of a luxury hotel; but perhaps what you will
appreciate more is the elegant comfort of your room;
handsomely appointed with handmade fabrics and furniture
custom designed from traditional patterns.
Restaurants and Bars :
The lore of
Nepalese food is entwined with taboos of religion,
superstition and caste. This has produced a satisfying,
sustaining and healthy cuisine.
