Moxy Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio, has officially made its debut in Nepal with the launch of Moxy Kathmandu. Designed for travellers who enjoy playful energy and creative spaces, the hotel brings Moxy’s bold personality to the cultural and contemporary heart of Kathmandu.

Moxy Kathmandu is located in Durbarmarg, one of the city’s most vibrant business and entertainment districts. With Tribhuvan International Airport just 15 minutes away, the hotel serves as a convenient base for guests looking to explore the city. Popular attractions such as the UNESCO-listed Durbar Square, the peaceful Swayambhunath Stupa, and the bustling lanes of Thamel are easily accessible. The neighbourhood also connects guests to Kathmandu’s emerging modern culture, including indie cafés, art galleries, rooftop lounges, and lively music venues.

Speaking about the brand’s entry into Nepal, Kiran Andicot, Senior Vice President, South Asia, Marriott International, said, “Moxy’s bold, playful spirit is perfectly suited for a city like Kathmandu, where tradition meets vibrant modernity. As demand for experiences that are both unconventional and culturally connected increases, Moxy Kathmandu brings eclectic youthful energy to match the pace of the city. We are proud to introduce this lifestyle brand to Nepal - our first in the country and third in South Asia as we expand our portfolio in the region to attract travelers seeking style, energy, and authenticity.”

Staying true to the Moxy experience, guests are welcomed at The Moxy Bar, which doubles as the hotel’s check-in. A complimentary handcrafted cocktail sets the tone for a stay filled with fun and spontaneity. The open lobby is adorned with modern artwork inspired by Nepali culture, creating a lively space where guests can meet, relax, and enjoy vibey music. A dedicated recreation zone offers air hockey, board games, and interactive corners that enhance the social atmosphere. Adding to the excitement is the signature Moxy Hookup, which surprises guests with perks such as free drinks, local snacks, exclusive discounts, or unique gifts.

The hotel features 101 smartly designed guestrooms that balance comfort and functionality. Each room is equipped with plush bedding, walk-in showers, 55-inch HD Smart TVs, motion-activated LED lights, peg walls, modular furniture, and intuitive layouts that allow guests to personalize their stay. A well-equipped Fitness Center keeps up with the active lifestyle of today’s travellers.

Moxy Kathmandu also elevates dining with two standout lifestyle spaces. LA HACIENDA, Barra y Cocina Latina, located on Level 11, offers a Latin American culinary journey curated by Mexican Chef Martin Hernandez Lopez, paired with sweeping views of the Kathmandu Valley. The venue’s striking design, led by New York-based Mexican designer Pablo Castellanos, blends storytelling with modern aesthetics. CARIÑO, Terraza Latina brings a relaxed open-air vibe, perfect for sipping handcrafted cocktails while enjoying the city skyline. Both outlets aim to attract international travellers and locals with their global flavours and lively ambience.

Sharing his excitement for the launch, Subarna Thapa, Captain, Moxy Kathmandu, said, “Kathmandu is a city full of character. It’s ancient yet modern, vibrant yet laid-back, always moving, always evolving. That’s what makes it the perfect match for Moxy. We’re bringing a hotel experience that’s bold, social, and full of personality, where guests don’t just stay, they plug into the city’s energy, and we can’t wait to see it come to life.”

With its energetic design, social spaces, and youthful spirit, Moxy Kathmandu marks a fresh chapter for lifestyle hospitality in Nepal.
