Moxy Hotels, a brand within the Marriott Bonvoy group, has launched its first property in Nepal with a new opening in Kathmandu.
The hotel is situated in Durbarmarg, a central business and entertainment area of the capital.
Its location places guests close to key landmarks such as Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Stupa, and Thamel market. Tribhuvan International Airport is approximately 15 minutes away by car.
The newly opened Moxy Kathmandu offers 101 guestrooms designed with modular furniture and technology features, including motion-activated lights and HD smart TVs.
The room layouts aim to balance comfort and practical use of space. Facilities include a fitness centre intended for various kinds of workouts.
The hotel’s public spaces include an open lobby displaying artwork referencing Nepali culture.
Communal areas encourage social interaction among travellers, with amenities such as a recreation zone offering air hockey and board games.
Dining facilities consist of a Latin restaurant La Hacienda – Barra y Cocina Latina on Level 11. The restaurant features an open kitchen concept designed by Pablo Castellanos and provides views across Kathmandu Valley.
Cariño – Terraza Latina offers an outdoor terrace space for drinks with views over the city.
Moxy Kathmandu captain Subarna Thapa said: “Kathmandu is a city full of character. It’s ancient yet modern, vibrant yet laid-back, always moving, always evolving. That’s what makes it the perfect match for Moxy.
“We’re bringing a hotel experience that’s bold, social, and full of personality, where guests don’t just stay, they plug into the city’s energy, and we can’t wait to see it come to life.”
Moxy Kathmandu aims to provide flexible spaces and communal experiences aligned with current hospitality trends in urban centres.
The property targets both international visitors and local residents seeking accommodation or dining options in Kathmandu’s central district.
Marriott International South Asia senior vice-president Kiran Andicot said: “We are proud to introduce this lifestyle brand to Nepal - our first in the country and third in South Asia as we expand our portfolio in the region to attract travellers seeking style, energy, and authenticity.”
