Marriott International has marked a significant milestone in South Asia with the opening of The Soaltee Kathmandu, Autograph Collection, signifying the debut of the Autograph Collection Hotels brand in the region. This addition brings Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio to 19 brands across India, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Located in the heart of Kathmandu, The Soaltee Kathmandu, Autograph Collection, has 285 rooms and suites, each designed to tell a ‘story’, a hallmark of Autograph Collection properties. The hotel, with a history dating back to 1966, blends contemporary design with traditional Nepalese motifs, reflecting the country’s rich cultural heritage through elements like wooden jaalis, exposed bricks and traditional Thangka paintings.

Guests can embark on a diverse culinary journey with offerings from Garden Terrace, an all-day dining restaurant, and Kakori, specialising in Awadhi-Indian cuisine. For large events and celebrations, the hotel provides an impressive 25,000ft2 of versatile indoor and outdoor banqueting space.

This opening underscores Marriott International‘s continued expansion in vibrant leisure destinations and its commitment to offering unique, locally inspired experiences through its Autograph Collection brand.
