Hilton has made its first foray into Nepal with the opening of Hilton Kathmandu in the heart of the Kathmandu Valley, in Naxal. Minutes away from tourist attractions such as Thamel and Durbar Marg, considered to be the heart of the city, Hilton Kathmandu’s location makes it an ideal base for both business and leisure travellers.

IHG Hotels & Resorts is making a play at the luxury market in Nepal, inking a management contract to open four new hotels across two brands, and marking the debut of global brands, InterContinental and Hotel Indigo, in the market.
