Baber Mahal Vilas — Kathmandu, Nepal

Tucked behind the historic Baber Mahal Revisited complex, Baber Mahal Vilas is a family-run heritage hotel with a refined atmosphere. Rooms are spread across three distinct wings—each reflecting a different architectural tradition of Nepal: Newari, Rana and Mustang. Carved windows, vintage décor and handwoven textiles give the spaces a quietly regal feel. It’s a peaceful base to explore Kathmandu, with thoughtful touches and personal hosting throughout.
