The Hotel:
The Dwarika’s Kathmandu  is a heritage hotel that takes its inspiration from the valley’s rich cultural heritage and is modeled upon the architectural grandeur of the palaces of the Newar Kings. The hotel houses an extensive collection of artifacts from the 14th century onwards and for its work in preserving the heritage of the Kathmandu Valley, it won the  PATA Heritage Award. This amalgamation of Nepal’s architectural history with its long standing tradition of hospitality makes the Dwarika’s Hotel in Kathmandu a unique experience of a refined Nepali lifestyle.

Rooms:
With 79 meticulously designed rooms and suites, the Dwarika's Kathmandu offers a regal experience comparable to the royal suites of the 14th century Malla Kings of Nepal.
Each room has been individually designed to immaculately mesh a contemporary lifestyle with a flavor of Newari motifs and stylistic living. Interspersed with artworks from another age, each room provides access to the antiquated art of the Newars dating as far back as the 14th century.
Remaining true to the earthy living that symbolized traditional life in the valley, the rooms  capture the essence of such a lifestyle without compromise. The linen is organically produced and hand woven. The furniture  is custom designed and handmade. The amenities rival the best luxury hotels. The attention to detail and personal service guarantee to make you feel at home.

Restaurant:
The Dwarika's Kathmandu has a selection of three restaurants and a bar that serve their own unique set of flavors and delicacies. Meals, from multi-cultural Nepali cuisines to its range of continental dishes and Japanese flavors, are prepared with freshly picked vegetables from the Dwarika's own farm. 

Facilities:
The Dwarika’s Kathmandu takes pride in its ability to meet all the needs of its guests. To this end, the hotel has a library to lounge and read in, a private lounge for small gatherings, a conference hall to organize small functions, a business center to meet any secretarial and technological needs, a shop to buy souvenirs for loved ones and a spa for rejuvenation.

Spa:
The Pancha Kosha Himalayan Spa at the Dwarika’s Kathmandu is a sanctuary for healing and purification. It offers an experience modelled upon the ancient traditions of care and respect that have developed in the Himalayan region over several millennia. The name of the spa is derived from the wisdom of the Vedas that claims that our Atman or self is made up of five layers of being – the physical, the intellectual, emotional and the essence of the absolute. Combined, they offer an authentic experience of life.

The signature treatments at the Pancha Kosha Spa intend to provide a holistic experience that encapsulate all five layers and provide an experience of true bliss. All three treatments – Pancha Kosha Purification, Himalayan Sacred Stone Therapy, and Rudri-Subasna Snan – are unique to Nepal. Each of the signature treatments take over four hours to complete and come with their own set of rituals and pleasures.

Any treatment at the Pancha Kosha Spa is a journey into the self. The spa uses a rich diversity of natural herbs, oils and essences from throughout the Himalayan range, to give you an experience of complete relaxation and rejuvenation. Each treatment is carried out by a trained therapist, in an atmosphere of complete respect and trust.
The treatment rooms and suites are exclusively designed with Nepali antique pieces and motifs from the Terai region of Nepal. Suites come with their own private bath and steam facilities, and are designed for individuals and couples to enjoy the spa’s unique Himalayan spa treatments in privacy and comfort.
