About us - Swarga Heritage Hotel, Kathmandu

Swarga Heritage Hotel is an Art Inspired Traditional Stay in the heart of Kathmandu, Nepal. Born purely out of a passion to preserve Nepalese Art, Culture, Tradition but most importantly to restore and preserve the original house where our founder was born. At Swarga we have made use of salvaged wooden carvings, traditional windows, recycled paper lights, reused bricks and terracotta tiles. Nestled in the peaceful area of Jyatha, Thamel which is only a stone throw away from the main Thamel market, Local Ason market and Kathmandu Durbar Square. The hotel is an amalgamation of Traditional design yet with Modern creature comfort and amenities. Spacious rooms filled with Natural light and raw earthy palete with a touch of Newari and Tibetan design philosophy. Everything you see or touch in the property might not sit perfectly but the raw beauty lies in the simple art of imperfection. We are a Traditional Niché Accommodation without elevators and no boring buffet breakfast, we serve à la carte breakfast, freshly cooked to order in our cafe for our guest. The best part being our free freshà la carte breakfast/brunch starts from 6:30 am until 3 pm, only hotel in Nepal to do this as I want all my guest to eat well whilst they are at our house/hotel. 'Swarga' means Heaven in sanskrit, welcome to our little Heavenly oasis in the chaotic Touristy district of Thamel. Swarga Heritage Hotel is located in the best central part of Kathmandu known as Jyatha, Thamel which is the peaceful quiet part of Thamel but only a stone throw away from the main thamel tourist spot, best cafe, restaurants, bars, shops, tour operators, taxi stands and all close to major tourist attractions and UNESCO world heritage sites. Since we are an old heritage property we do not have elevators/lifts so please ask for lower floors if you have difficulty in walking up stairs. However we are only 4 floors tall and we have staffs to carry your luggage.
