Dwarika's Hotel
Location
Kathmandu, Nepal

The Dwarika's Hotel is an award-winning heritage hotel that takes its inspiration from the Kathmandu Valley's rich history and cultural traditions. Modeled on the architectural grandeur of the palaces of the Newar kings, the hotel houses an extensive collection of artifacts dating to the 14th century, with intricate carved wood and terracotta work by the finest craftsmen in Nepal. Its 87 rooms and suites are meticulously designed to offer an experience that is both aesthetic and comfortable. Rooms combine traditional Newari decorative motifs and antiques with the contemporary amenities of a luxury hotel. Dark hardwood beams and tile floors provide the setting for beds featuring handwoven organic linens, and custom handmade furniture that showcases exquisite woodcarving. The hotel's three restaurants and bar serve continental and multicultural cuisine, prepared with fresh-picked vegetables from The Dwarika's own farm. For relaxation, enjoy the cozy library, swim in a pool reminiscent of 12th-century Malla dynasty baths, take a free yoga class, or indulge at the Pancha Kosha Spa, where you'll find a range of massages that draw on ancient Himalayan treatments.

Meghauli Serai
Location
Chitwan National Park, Nepal

Meghauli Serai is an elegant safari lodge in the heart of Nepal's Terai lowland jungle with exceptional proximity to Chitwan National Park. Perched on the edge of the Rapti River, the property melds its lush natural setting with fine guest accommodations to create a serene escape from the everyday. Sixteen luxury riverside villas with spacious living areas and views of the park across the river offer a soothing sanctuary in the heart of the jungle. Each villa includes a private plunge pool, air conditioning and en suite bathrooms adorned with traditional Nepalese stone spouts.

Meghauli Serai offers a range of dining options. Guests can share stories of wildlife sightings over a communal dinner around a bonfire or enjoy a more private dinner in the dining room, on the river viewing deck, in their room or next to the pool. Specializing in Newari and Tharu cuisine, the chef prepares fresh food with an authentic local flair using organic fruits and vegetables grown on the premises.

After each adventurous day in the outdoors, guests can enjoy a cocktail at the bar and lounge, take a dip in the infinity pool or indulge in a range of soothing spa treatments and massages. From its prime position within the wilderness, the lodge offers excellent opportunities for spotting wildlife−like the one-horned rhinoceros and gharial−directly from the property.
The Postcard Dewa
Location
Thimphu, Bhutan

Located in the forest on the outskirts of Bhutan’s capital city, the Postcard Dewa Hotel is a quiet and secluded retreat with views of the Khasadraphchu Valley and Wangchu River. The 15 spacious, soundproofed rooms are rich in natural light and feature traditional art and textiles. Every room has private outdoor seating for enjoying a cup of coffee or tea overlooking the eastern Himalayas.

The dining experience is a true highlight of any visit to the Postcard Dewa, featuring delicious local dishes made with locally sourced ingredients such as red rice, Bhutanese chilis and fresh mountain trout.

At the end of a day of exploration, guests can return for a refreshing swim in the temperature-controlled, glass-enclosed swimming pool or a relaxing meditation or yoga session. A visit to the spa offers a unique Bhutanese hot stone bath in addition to massage, ayurvedic treatments, reflexology and a steam room.
Dhensa Boutique Resort
Location
Punakha, Bhutan

Dhensa Boutique Resort is an elegant small hotel set on a mountainside above the Punakha Valley. Tucked among thick pine forests and surrounded by numerous walking trails, the property overlooks the Punakha River and extensive rice paddy fields that terrace down to the valley floor. Marrying contemporary design with the peaceable ambience that defines Bhutanese culture, Dhensa provides soothing accommodations in a minimalist, clean-lined space. Six individual cottages house four guest suites each, all with private balconies for relaxing in solitude. Understated interiors have comfortable beds with luxurious cotton bedding and en suite bathrooms with soaking tubs. Complimentary wireless Internet is provided. Fine meals are served in the glass-enclosed dining area with panoramic views of the valley, or in the fresh air on the broad stone terrace. Local seasonal and organic produce is incorporated into creative menus that features Bhutanese, Asian and Western selections. The Kibu Spa, set in its own cottage with windows onto the forest, offers a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. Partake in yoga, massage therapy featuring hand-blended essential oils, a sauna and steam room, and a unique outdoor wood-fired bath. 
Gangtey Lodge
Location
Gangtey (Phobjikha) Valley, Bhutan

A member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection, award-winning Gangtey Lodge blends rustic mountain ambience with five-star amenities and service. Its location, perched above a vast glacial valley, offers panoramic views over the peaceful countryside. Ornate woodwork, exposed beams and stone, and Bhutanese-style pitched roofs characterize this architecture and decor of this boutique hotel, which takes styling inspiration from the region's traditional farmhouses. The lobby features murals and carvings by local artists and masons, and grand floor-to-ceiling windows that offer spectacular views of 17th-century Gangtey Monastery.

Five-hundred-square-foot guest suites feature luxury touches like a contemporary wood-burning stove, heated hand-cut slate floors, and a deep freestanding roll-top bathtub in front of a large window offering private views of the valley below. Appointed in warm fabrics and earthen tones, each room has a lounge space with comfortable sofas, a large dressing room with double vanities, and an en suite bathroom with aromatherapy toiletries, plush bathrobes and slippers. Other amenities include Wi-Fi, in-room tea/coffee, cold beverages, and daily shoe cleaning and outdoor gear drying services. Hypoallergenic pillows and air humidifiers are available upon request.

Savor a cup of coffee on the outdoor terrace, breathing in the fresh scent of pine. After a day of adventure, return to the lounge, where hand-woven carpets, leather sofas and massive indoor-outdoor stone fireplaces create a cozy space to relax. Enjoy an intimate dining experience with chef-tailored meals using organic ingredients. Try Bhutanese specialties such as ema datshi, a chili-and-yak-cheese stew with wild mushrooms.
Le Meridien Paro
Location
Paro, Bhutan

Modern luxury and traditional Bhutanese elegance are married into this riverfront hotel with 59 smoke-free rooms and expansive views over the Paro Valley. Located a half-hour outside Bhutan’s capital, Thimphu, the hotel sits at the edge of the Paro River in a region noted for its rich history, ornate monasteries and sacred fortresses. Le Meridien Paro is an ideal place from which to explore living Bhutanese culture, find artful handicrafts and taste the regional cuisine.

Sleek modern amenities complement the resort’s locally inspired atmosphere, including delicate carving, gold embellishments, bright splashes of color and distinctly Bhutanese architecture. Rooms have wall-to-wall windows that overlook the Himalayas and garden and a daybed under the window lets you nestle in and soak up the expanse of the world’s highest mountains. Hardwood floors, wood veneer walls and turquoise accents that evoke the Paro River are complimented by a large Buddhist prayer wheel on the wall of each room. Contemporary beds feature crisp, white bedding and grey padded headboards, and each marble en suite bathroom includes a glass-enclosed rain forest shower and separate soaking bathtub with handheld wand, signature bath amenities, plush bathrobes and slippers. Each room has a 40-inch LED TV and coffee and tea maker, and high-speed internet access is available for a fee. On-site, enjoy an indoor saltwater chlorinated, heated pool, outdoor whirlpool hot tub fitness center with inspiring views of the Himalaya, three restaurants and a chic, contemporary spa.
