Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts has launched its inaugural resort in Nepal, the Holiday Inn Resort Kathmandu Budhanilkantha, an addition to IHG Hotels & Resorts' renowned Holiday Inn brand.
Located amidst the foothills of Shivapuri Forest and a short drive from the Kathmandu city centre, the resort promises guests a harmonious blend of natural beauty and convenience, reported The Himalayan Times.
The resort's proximity to Shivapuri National Park allows adventure enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the lush landscapes, scenic trails, and local temples.
The Holiday Inn Resort Kathmandu Budhanilkantha boasts 104 spacious and well-appointed guest rooms and suites, each featuring 55-inch smart TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a high-quality sleep experience with a choice of soft and firm pillows, all complemented by captivating views.
For guests seeking leisure, the resort provides modern recreational facilities such as a gym, an outdoor swimming pool, a spa, and a Kids' Club with activities for children.
Dining at the resort is a vibrant affair with several options including Café Nagarjun for all-day dining, Mekong - Flavors of Asia for Pan-Asian cuisine, and the Infinity Bar for refreshing drinks and snacks.
The resort is particularly family-friendly, with children aged 12 and under staying and eating for free, making it an option for family vacations. Additionally, the resort offers versatile event spaces of 9,300 ft2, equipped with the latest technology for various events.
Binita Khadka, representing the resort's ownership, highlighted the resort's significance, stating, "Holiday Inn Resort Kathmandu Budhanilkantha is a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality experiences. This partnership with IHG not only underscores our dedication to outstanding hospitality but also positions Nepal as a premier destination for both leisure and business travellers. We are confident this resort will set new standards for the industry."
The resort’s general manager Arya SJB Rana said: "Our vision was to create a retreat where true hospitality seamlessly blends with the breathtaking natural beauty of Budhanilkantha. It's immensely gratifying to see this vision come to life, offering guests an unmatched experience in a setting that truly embodies serenity and elegance."
The Holiday Inn Resort Kathmandu Budhanilkantha aims to become a leading destination, offering guests a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and luxury.
