This outstanding heritage hotel is steeped with charm and character and provides a truly memorable base for a stay in Kathamandu. In a veritable celebration of Nepalese craftsmanship, the hotel's owner made it a passion project to preserve as many of the intricately carved wooden windows and antique pieces as he could find when he first conceived the idea for the hotel back in the 1950s. To this day, every item of furniture at the property has been produced by carpenters from the Kathmandu Valley and the hotel's 80 rooms and suites feature original beams and beautiful hand-woven linens.
