The Nanee Bhaktapur is a heritage boutique hotel located in the spiritual heart of the Kathmandu Valley, in the ancient capital of Nepal that was once known as the City of Devotees. The ancient city of Bhaktapur makes for the great place to stay when visiting Kathmandu, it is close enough to the modern capital for convenience and access to the must-see temples there, but with Bhaktapur being one of the oldest cities in Nepal this neighbouring city to Kathmandu has so many stories to tell visitors of the Newari culture and people, the first people of the Kathmandu Valley, that a Bhaktapur boutique hotel has to be the perfect choice for a home base when visiting the Kathmandu Valley, and of all the boutique hotels, The Nanee Bhaktapur has to be that perfect choice.

The Nanee is an 18-room and suite heritage boutique hotel that pays homage to its Newari heritage both in design and location. The name ‘Nanee’ is a Newari word for ‘courtyard’, and grand, traditional Newari homes were often courtyard houses (a series of rooms and accommodations built around a central courtyard) and The Nanee Bhaktapur is no exception. The owners and the team of The Nanee are keen to share the culture and traditions of their ancient home with guests, and this cultural identity is clearly visible in the architecture and interior design of the hotel. The Nanee is a beautiful blend of contemporary and ancient design, from handmade bricks to recycled timber, polished concrete floors to polished hardwood doors, the Nanee is Newari in heritage but clearly has its own character and personality too. Décor is simple, minimalist, and elegant, and links to tradition and Bhaktapur’s history are evident in the architecture, in the way this Kathmandu boutique hotel was built to be an integral part of the community with no perimeter wall. The hotel works closely with the local community to create cultural bridges for guests to experience Newari and Bhaktapur culture through art, cuisine and cultural events. It can be very much an immersive stay experience, one that promotes mindfulness and responsible travel, as guests are able to connect so closely with the local people, their culture, and their stories, to really enjoy a true sense of place and an understanding of this ancient location from a local’s perspective.

The Ancient and the Historic are on your Doorstep during Your Stay at The Nanee

The ancient art of Vaastu Shastra was employed in the design of The Nanee to enhance the harmony between the ancient and modern, and to ensure a balance between the building, its living spaces, and the environment. The practice identifies five areas of the building and aligns them with the elements of earth, water, air, space, and fire, and in so doing ensures an interior and external harmony, both practically and spiritually. With such deep roots in tradition, The Nanee could only ever be located in the medieval streets of ancient Bhaktapur. The hotel is very much within one of the most important historical districts of the area, and the Indrayani Temple is just a short 5-minute stroll from The Nanee, as is the Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Additionally, the Boudhanath Stupa and Pashupatinath Temple are just a short drive away, about 10kms from the hotel, as conveniently is the International Airport. The community that The Nanee is located within shares a wonderful opportunity for guests to get under the skin and really experience this fascinating city and its age old culture and traditions. The Nanee Hotel team are keen to provide an immersive stay experience for guests, to help them connect with the local community and learn about the unique ways of life and the many stories on the streets that house The Nanee. A stay here is more than just a very comfortable stay in a wonderful boutique hotel. The hotel team work hard to be a part of their local community, in sourcing products and produce locally they actively support local businesses, they employ locally, they work with local artists and artisans to create rare opportunities for guests to connect with the traditional arts of the Kathmandu Valley, and all with a view to contributing positively to their home community, not just in terms of dollars spent, but in terms of cultural exchange and real, mutually supportive, community values.
