Accor signs first Mercure property in Nepal

PROJECT MARKS THE DEBUT OF ACCOR AND MERCURE BRAND IN NEPAL.

Accor, a world-leading augmented hospitality group with over 430 hotels across India, the Middle East, Africa and Turkey, signs its first Mercure property in Kathmandu, Nepal. Set to open in 2026, Mercure Kathmandu will bring 105 keys to Ring Road, offering great proximity and connectivity to the city's main attractions and centre.

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is steeped in rich history, long associated with ancient traditions and a vibrant culture. The hotel is only a short journey from the airport and close to the bustling city centre and iconic city attractions, which include many World Heritage Sites such as the remarkable Swayambhunath Stupa and the sacred Hindu temple in Pashupatinath.

The property is being developed by The Metropolitan Hotel Private Limited, with Desh Bandhu Basnet, Bijaya B. Malla and Rajendra Raut, at the helm. Besides business involvements, the three owners are also part of the Executive Committee of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FNCCI), as well as SAARC Chamber of Commerce.

Set in a valley, surrounded by the scenic Himalayas, the Mercure Kathmandu comes complete with dining facilities, including an all-day dining restaurant and bar, alongside a fitness centre, an indoor swimming pool and state-of-the-art meeting facilities.

The signing of the project further strengthens Accor's already dominant position in India and South Asia, with its existing 56 properties across a selection of brands, including Raffles, Fairmont, Sofitel, Pullman, Grand Mercure, Novotel, Mercure, ibis and ibis Styles.
