ABOUT

The Nanee, Bhaktapur, Nepal

"At The Nanee, the tradition and contemporary flair unite to unfold stories in art, architecture, and culinary creations."

The Nanee invites you into a living canvas, where gentle yet vibrant strokes of artistry and heritage create a masterpiece. Our experiential boutique property in Bhaktapur is a beautiful reinterpretation of Newari tradition through contemporary art. This unique retreat pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of the Kathmandu Valley, with corners serving as canvases to showcase a harmonious dialogue between history and innovation. Inspired by the iconic Nyatapola Temple and the principles of Vaastu Shastra, our design reflects the five elements of nature—fire, earth, water, air, and space—infusing each space with balance and positive energy.

The architecture, centred around courtyard living, fosters a sense of community, while artisanal touches such as handwoven textiles, brass, wood, and terracotta weave a rich narrative of local charm. Our commitment to sustainability and cultural preservation shines through in every detail, from the meticulously curated art pieces to the in-house culture expert, who guides guests in exploring the deep-rooted heritage of Newari culture. The Nanee stands as a masterful reinterpretation of Bhaktapur’s cultural essence, offering a profound opportunity to engage with the city's artistic soul. Immerse yourself in its cultural rhythms in a setting that celebrates both timeless tradition and modern elegance.
