Kathmandu, Nepal – December 12, 2025 – Moxy Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary hotel brands, today celebrates its debut in Nepal with the opening of Moxy Kathmandu. Bold, playful, and unmistakably social, the brand makes its mark in a city defined by contrasts—where ancient heritage meets modern buzz, creative expression thrives alongside spiritual calm, and youthful energy fuels everyday life.
Marking a new chapter for lifestyle hospitality in Nepal, Moxy Kathmandu is located in Durbarmarg, one of the city’s most vibrant business and entertainment districts. Just 15 minutes from Tribhuvan International Airport, the hotel places guests within easy reach of the UNESCO-listed Kathmandu Durbar Square, the spiritual heights of Swayambhunath Stupa, and the buzzing streets of Thamel, known for its eclectic mix of art, music, food, and fashion.

Whether wandering centuries-old temples, hiking nearby trails, or diving into Kathmandu’s nightlife, the hotel serves as a dynamic base for discovery. True to the brand’s DNA, Moxy Kathmandu reimagines the traditional hotel stay with local design influences, flexible social spaces, and an atmosphere built for connection—inviting the young and young at heart to experience the city in a way that’s anything but ordinary.
