We believe in the preservation and conservation of the rich cultural heritage of the Kathmandu Valley. Kantipur Temple House is built in the native Newari architecture of Kathmandu with its intricate carved windows and eaves. All the stone and wood carvings at our hotel are made especially for our building, to support and ensure the continuation of these traditional local skills. Most of the materials for interior décor used in the hotel are also locally sourced and help support livelihoods of marginalized communities throughout Nepal. We also have a small shop space inside the Hiti café where we store locally and ethically produced handicrafts and gifts.
