It is located in the Battisputali neighborhood. The hotel is a collection of various traditional heritage Nepali houses that congregate around courtyards and is considered one of Nepal's finest hotels. The hotel has 87-rooms, took over 30 years to construct, and has won the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award for Culture Heritage Conservation[1] HistoryThe hotel is known for its efforts in cultural preservation. It started when founder Dwarika Das Shrestha decided to save old wood carvings from traditional Kathmandu buildings that were about to be thrown away. In 1952, Shrestha saw carpenters cutting up an intricately carved wooden pillar of a demolished old building, to use it as firewood.[2] This inspired his lifelong effort to save and reuse these historic carvings. Later put into a room that housed a single masters student from abroad, the carvings garnered such interest that Shrestha found the idea of constructing guest rooms with traditional wood carvings, and thus began the hotel venture. Shrestha also revived the technique of "Dacchiapa," the Newari traditional method of making carved bricks. Shrestha died in 1992.[2] The hotel is still managed by the Shrestha family, and now possesses a large private woodwork collection. The restoration workshop that the late Dwarika Shrestha established in order to revive wood carvings as early as 1962 is still in operation, although only used for significantly damaged pieces[3] Reception"The simple, Nepali-style brick building embellished with decorative woodcarvings opened in 1977. For years, its owner, the late Dwarika Das Shresthsa, who was also a visionary conservationist, rescued thousands of ancient carved wooden pieces, then employed traditionally trained Nepali craftsmen to integrate them into an atmospheric, ancient looking haven, a virtual oasis in a bery busy city."[4] "The hotel consists of three main brick-built buildings, which are finished with traditional and mostly historic wood window frames salvaged from demolished buildings. They’re set round a series of linked paved courtyards, which are blissfully peaceful and atmospheric, and dotted with trees and shrines."[5] ". . . a truly unique hotel that not only delights foreign visitors but also constitutes a living model for other Nepalese who wish to create similar works of art."[2] "Often described as a 'living museum,' this family-run five-star hotel has become a savior of Newari crafts and architecture".[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.unescobkk.org/culture/wh/asia-pacific-heritage-awards/previous-heritage-awards-2000-2013/2006/project-entries/awards-jury-commendation-for-innovation/nepal/|title=UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation: 2006 Awards Jury Commendation for Innovation Entries}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite book | last =Warren | first = William| authorlink = | title = Asia's Legendary Hotels: The Romance of Travel| publisher =Tuttle Publishing | series = | volume = | edition = | date =2012 | location = | pages =68-73 | language = | url =https://books.google.com/books?id=N5jTAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA68&dq=%22Dwarika%27s+Hotel%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjiqJuKh6bWAhVD0FQKHbmnAa0Q6AEIOTAD#v=onepage&q=%22Dwarika's%20Hotel%22&f=false | doi = | id = | isbn =9781462906741 | mr = | zbl = | jfm = }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dwarikas.com/heritage/dwarikas-story.html|title=Dwarika's Story|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110712140848/http://www.dwarikas.com/heritage/dwarikas-story.html|archivedate=2011-07-12|df=}}. 4. ^{{cite book | last =Schultz | first =Patricia | authorlink =Patricia Schultz | title =1,000 Places to See Before You Die| publisher =Workman Publishing Company| series = | volume = | edition = | date =2012 | location = | pages =563 | language = | url =https://books.google.com/books?id=AWNSZWBIIzIC&pg=PA563&dq= | doi = | id = | isbn =9780761156864 | mr = | zbl = | jfm = }} 5. ^{{cite news | last =Behan | first =Rosemary | title =Hotel Insider: Dwarika’s Hotel, Kathmandu | newspaper =The National| location = | pages = | language = | publisher = | date =January 11, 2017 | url =https://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/travel/hotel-insider-dwarika-s-hotel-kathmandu-1.43847 | accessdate =September 14, 2017 }} 6. ^{{cite news | last =Marsh | first = Jenni| title =Heaven in the Himalayas: Nepal's top 5 responsible boutique hotels | newspaper =CNN | location = | pages = | language = | publisher = | date =January 5, 2017 | url =http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/nepal-architecture/index.html| accessdate =September 14, 2017 }} External links
