Traditional Homes – Swotha, a lovingly restored 70-year-old Newari residence that captures the soul of old Patan while offering the comforts of a modern boutique stay. Once a traditional family home, this heritage property has been carefully transformed into an inviting bed and breakfast, preserving the beauty and craftsmanship of Newari architecture — from carved wooden windows and exposed brick walls to warm earthy tones and intimate courtyards.

Each of our individually designed rooms tells a story of its own. Blending historic character with understated elegance, the interiors feature handcrafted wooden furniture, soft natural fabrics, and subtle lighting that evoke a sense of calm and connection to place. Every detail — from the polished timber floors to the traditional lattice windows that let in gentle streams of daylight — has been curated to offer both authenticity and comfort.

Guests can choose from charming attic rooms with sloping roofs, spacious family suites, or cozy courtyard-facing rooms, each equipped with modern amenities such as ensuite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and comfortable bedding, ensuring a restful stay amidst centuries-old surroundings.

Step outside your room and into our open courtyard, where the scent of local coffee and the warmth of traditional hospitality fill the air. Enjoy a wholesome breakfast prepared with locally sourced ingredients, served in our serene rooftop café, offering a quiet retreat above the bustling lanes of Patan.

At Traditional Homes – Swotha, history isn’t just preserved — it’s lived, felt, and shared. Stay in history. Sleep in comfort. Wake up inspired.
