Hyatt Hotels Corporation is expanding its brand in Nepal with the announcement of a new management agreement for Hyatt Regency Lumbini. Partnering with Veda Hospitality Private Limited, a division of Golyan Group, this property will be Hyatt’s fourth hotel in Nepal and the second collaboration with Golyan Group, following Hyatt Regency Kathmandu. Expected to open by 2028, the 175-room hotel emphasizes Hyatt’s strategic commitment to growth in Southwest Asia.

Located in Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Hyatt Regency Lumbini will offer travelers an exceptional experience amid the town’s rich cultural and spiritual backdrop. This property will be set along the Dano River, close to major landmarks such as the Mayadevi Temple, Gautam Buddha International Airport, and the Nepal–India border, positioning it well to serve both international and regional travelers.

“Nepal continues to play a significant role in Hyatt’s growth strategy in the Southwest Asia region, and we look forward to continued collaboration with Golyan Group to bring international standards of hospitality to the province of Lumbini with the Hyatt Regency brand,” stated Dhruva Rathore, vice president of development, India & Southwest Asia at Hyatt. “The profound cultural and spiritual appeal of Lumbini, with its rich heritage, positions it as a compelling destination for travelers and locals alike. It also reaffirms Hyatt's commitment to thoughtfully expanding our brand footprint in destinations preferred by our guests, World of Hyatt members, customers, and owners.”

Akshay Golyan, managing director of Golyan Group, expressed enthusiasm for the new project: “We are delighted to extend our collaboration with Hyatt to debut the first ever Hyatt Regency branded hotel in Lumbini. Our vision for Hyatt Regency Lumbini is to create a world-class destination that elevates the hospitality experience in Nepal while respecting and promoting the cultural heritage of Lumbini. We believe this hotel will become a landmark in the region and a key contributor to Nepal’s tourism industry.”

Designed with a focus on fostering personal connections and professional collaboration, Hyatt Regency Lumbini will integrate modern elements with traditional Nepali aesthetics across its 11-acre space. Amenities will include 175 guest rooms, multiple dining options, dedicated event spaces, a fitness center, a wellness spa, an outdoor pool, and entertainment facilities, providing a comprehensive experience for both leisure and business guests.

Currently, Hyatt’s footprint in India and Southwest Asia comprises 52 properties—50 in India and two in Nepal—across brands such as Andaz, Alila, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Centric, and Park Hyatt.
