Moxy Hotels Debuts in Nepal’s Buzzing Heartbeat: Turning Up the Fun in Kathmandu, the Country’s Cultural Core

Moxy Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, today announced its debut in Nepal with the opening of Moxy Kathmandu. Kathmandu is a city that thrives on contrasts, blends ancient heritage with modern buzz, vibrant culture, creativity, youthful energy and deep-rooted spiritual calmness - making it the perfect playground for Moxy.

Marking a bold new chapter for hospitality in Nepal, Moxy Kathmandu is located in Durbarmarg, one of the city's most dynamic business and entertainment districts. Tribhuvan International Airport is 15 minutes away, making it an ideal launchpad for modern explorers. Guests are within easy reach of the UNESCO-listed Durbar Square, the spiritual serenity of Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), and the bustling markets of Thamel, known for its eclectic mix of art, music, food, and fashion.

Moxy Kathmandu also puts guests close to the city's emerging contemporary scene, from art galleries and indie cafés to rooftop lounges and live music venues. Whether exploring centuries-old temples, hiking nearby trails, or diving into Kathmandu's dynamic nightlife, the hotel serves as a perfect base for those looking to experience the city with curiosity and style. True to the Moxy brand, the hotel reimagines the traditional stay with a distinctive blend of local design, flexible social spaces, and an atmosphere built for connection. Perfectly aligned with the dynamic spirit of the city, Moxy Kathmandu invites the young and young at heart to discover the city in a way that's anything but ordinary.

The fun begins as soon as guests step through the doors and head straight into The Moxy Bar, the hotel's unconventional check-in counter and center of activity, welcomed with a complimentary hand-crafted cocktail. The open lobby, adorned with modern artwork inspired by Nepali culture, is designed to encourage interaction and creativity, echoing the cultural fusion of Kathmandu. Guests can enjoy vibey music or engage with fellow travelers in communal spaces, creating moments that are both spontaneous and memorable. A playful recreation zone that lays the groundwork for a stay full of unexpected fun, tempts and indulges guests to a game of air hockey, or a nostalgic round of board games, while soaking in the vibrant, social atmosphere. Adding to the excitement is the signature Moxy Hookup, where guests are surprised with spontaneous perks such as a free drink, local snack delicacies, exclusive discounts, or fun gifts. With its flexible spaces, immersive design, and strong sense of community, Moxy Kathmandu redefines traditional hospitality with a lifestyle-driven experience that's unmistakably Moxy.

The 101 guestrooms are cleverly designed to maximize space and allow guests the flexibility to adapt the room to their needs. Each room has a smart layout offering a perfect balance of comfort and functionality featuring plush bedding, walk-in showers, and 55-inch HD Smart TVs, in addition to modular furniture and smart features like motion-activated LED lights, open compartment layout and peg walls that offers design forward intuitive solutions to every guest. For those looking to stay active, the hotel also features a thoughtfully designed Fitness Center, built to keep up with the lively pace of its guests, whether it's a quick cardio session or an intense workout.
