Marriott International has signed an agreement with Nepal-based CG Hospitality Global to develop three new hotels in South Asia.
The pipeline includes The Ritz-Carlton, Kathmandu and The Westin Kathmandu in Nepal, and JW Marriott Hotel Siliguri in India.
The Ritz-Carlton, Kathmandu will mark the brand’s first hotel in Nepal. Plans outline 150 guest rooms, including 30 suites, around 1,100m² of event space, five restaurants and bars, an outdoor pool and a fitness centre.
The Westin Kathmandu is expected to offer 150 rooms and suites, a rooftop swimming pool and more than 700m² of meeting and banquet space.
JW Marriott Hotel Siliguri is planned with 150 rooms and suites, along with wellness-focused facilities.
CG Hospitality global managing director and CEO Rahul Chaudhary said: “Growing our relationship with Marriott International marks an exciting new chapter in our journey to elevate South Asia’s hospitality landscape.
“These signings signify the importance that both parties put in this collaboration, and we sincerely thank Marriott for their trust, collaboration, and shared vision as we embark on these landmark projects together.
“Together, we will create iconic destinations that celebrate local culture, unlock meaningful employment, and deliver exceptional experiences for travellers and communities.”
All three properties are expected to open in 2031 and would add nearly 450 rooms to Marriott’s portfolio.
Marriott International Asia Pacific (excluding China) president Rajeev Menon said: “We are pleased to deepen our association with CG Hospitality Global through a shared vision to bring world-class hospitality experiences to these high-potential markets.
“These landmark developments reflect the exceptional standards and brand excellence that define Marriott’s luxury and premium portfolio, while contributing meaningfully to tourism growth, local employment and regional economic development.
“Backed by CG Hospitality Global’s strong market expertise and long-term commitment to Nepal, we are confident these hotels will emerge as defining hospitality destinations in the region.”
