Hotel Tradition (2 Star)
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.
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.
