5-star heritage hotel preserving Nepal's Newari architecture in Kathmandu

Heritage & Architecture

The Dwarika's preserves one of the world's largest collections of traditional Newari wooden carvings, salvaged and restored since the 1950s. The hotel's construction took over 30 years and integrates hand-carved windows, doors, and artifacts into every building. Guests can join a guided tour of the property to learn about the restoration techniques and the family's commitment to heritage conservation.

Rooms & Suites

The hotel offers 80 rooms and suites, including Heritage Deluxe rooms, Junior Suites, Executive Suites, and the multi-floor Royal Suite. Each room is furnished with handcrafted wooden pieces and organic toiletries made in-house at the Pancha Kosha Himalayan Spa. Junior Suites are frequently noted by guests for their spacious layout and attention to cultural detail.

Dining

Krishnarpan serves a multi-course Nepali dinner with 6, 9, 16, or 22 courses, using organic ingredients sourced from the hotel's own eco-organic farms. Toran offers international cuisine, Mako's specializes in Japanese dishes, and the Fusion Bar serves cocktails and bar snacks. Breakfast is served in the courtyard and includes a buffet with made-to-order options such as French toast and local cheeses.

Wellness & Facilities

The Pancha Kosha Himalayan Spa offers Ayurvedic treatments, full body massages, and couples massages using ingredients from the hotel's own farms. An outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, and daily yoga sessions at 7 am are available for guests. The spa also provides steam rooms, sauna, and a range of head, neck, and foot massages.

Location & Services

The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Tribhuvan International Airport and a short walk to the Pashupatinath Temple UNESCO site. A 24-hour front desk, currency exchange, tour desk, and airport shuttle are available. The property also offers meeting rooms with 14th-century design aesthetics, business centre, and valet parking.
