Hyatt Centric Debuts in Nepal with a Vibrant Kathmandu Property

In a significant move expanding its global footprint, Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announces the transformation of Hyatt Place Kathmandu into the Hyatt Centric Soalteemode Kathmandu, set to become Nepal's first Hyatt Centric hotel. This transformation is marked by a comprehensive renovation, including a redesigned entrance, a new sky bar and lounge, and enhanced guest amenities, aligning with the Hyatt Centric brand's full-service ethos.

The planned Hyatt Centric Soalteemode Kathmandu, scheduled for completion after the renovation, is strategically positioned near Kathmandu’s vibrant city center. Its location is a stone's throw from renowned pilgrimage sites and UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Swayambhunath Stupa, Boudhanath Stupa, and Pashupatinath Temple. Nestled in a picturesque valley adorned with historic sites, ancient temples, shrines, and golden pagodas, the hotel is an ideal base for contemporary travelers with a zest for adventure and discovery.

Dhruva Rathore, Vice President of Development for India & Southwest Asia at Hyatt, highlights the strategic significance of this launch in Kathmandu, emphasizing its role in strengthening Hyatt's portfolio in Southwest Asia and marking the region as a key market. The brand's commitment to providing personalized, local experiences aligns with the needs of travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the rich history of their destinations.

Hyatt Centric hotels are known for their prime locations in world-class cities like New York, Madrid, Mumbai, Bangalore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Chicago. Designed with millennial-minded travelers in mind, these hotels offer a gateway to the heart of the action, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in their surroundings.

This development is part of Hyatt’s broader portfolio in India and Southwest Asia, which includes 47 properties, with 45 in India and two in Nepal, spanning eight distinct brands.
