“Dwarika's Hotel, in Kathmandu, Nepal, is the most classic and culturally preserved hotel I've ever been to. For me, no hotel speaks to its location better than this one. It's owned by my now friend Vijay and his family. The building is all brick, and each window fixture, door, and piece of hardware is an antique that Vijay's grandfather collected over the years. The carvings on every entryway or windowsill are so intricate and so well preserved. You can look at one side of the courtyard for hours, observing all the little details. Anytime I return to Kathmandu, it's no question that's where I stay. I took my kids out there with me the last time I went.” —Diplo
