Kathmandu Marriott Hotel commenced its operation in Kathmandu on July 18, marking the debut of the flagship brand in Nepal. The press statement from the hotel states that the hotel’s prime location connects next generation travellers to attractions throughout the fascinating cultural city and is designed to expand the mind of modern travellers.
Speaking at the opening of the hotel, Neeraj Govil, Area Vice President South Asia, Marriott International said, “The hotel will offer our guests brilliant stays in Kathmandu, stimulating guests with cultural experiences that speak to their inventive nature.”
Upon entering the hotel, there are thoughtful touches paying tribute to the country. A 500 kilogram Nepali praying bell hangs from the ceiling while local paintings and crafts adorn the walls. The patterned carpets mimic the detailed weaving seen in the Dhaka Topi, a brimless cap that is part of the traditional Nepali national dress.
The 214 well-appointed rooms reflect streamlined Marriott Modern design complemented with premium elegance and intuitive technology. The traditional desk is replaced by flexible surfaces enabling space for work and relaxation. Meanwhile, a soft seating nesting nook allows guests to look out onto verdant greenery and the majestic Himalayan mountain ranges that lend an impressive sense of place.
“The Kathmandu Marriott Hotel is thoughtfully designed to ensure a brilliant stay. We look forward to delivering unparalleled guest experiences backed by comfort and great service through best in class facilities and amenities for both international and local guests. Our four distinctive dining venues, offering sumptuous local and international cuisines, promise to raise the bar within the Kathmandu culinary scene,” said Jean-Louis Ripoche, General Manager, Kathmandu Marriott Hotel.
