Dusit Signs First Princess Hotel in Nepal

Dusit has signed an agreement with Hotel Lhasa International to develop and operate a Dusit Princess hotel in Kathmandu, the second Dusit-branded hotel set to open in Nepal.

Scheduled to open in Q3 2020, the 108-room hotel will be located in the capital’s vibrant Lazimpat neighbourhood. The area is home to various international institutions and is just a short walk from the bustling eateries and shops of Thamel.

Tribhuvan International Airport and major cultural attractions such as Kathmandu Durbar Square, Boudhanath Stupa, and the Swayambhunath Stupa are around 20 minutes away by car.

“We are delighted to partner with Hotel Lhasa International Pvt.
