Welcome
to Hotel Tradition
Located in the heart of Thamel, Kathmandu's main tourist center,
everything is within easy walking distance with taxi facilities
available should you venture out further.
The
Newars, the indigenous inhabitants Valley, were renowned for their
craftsmanship. It is they who built the numerous pagoda temples and
shrines, stone sculptures, metalwork and lavish carvings that you
see everywhere. Their workmanship was of such high perfection that
the Kathmandu Valley today boasts of seven World Heritage Sites.
The architecture of the Newar towns and villages is very
appealing. Their red-brick houses have intricately carved wooden
windows and doors and sloping tiled roofs. However, in the name of
modernization, these beautiful houses and monuments are coming down
fast and are being replaced by multi-storied concrete buildings.
Here at Hotel Tradition, we are committed to preserving and
continuing those rich artistic traditions as well as the Valley's
tradition of hospitality.
