The hotel boasts stunning views of the Kathmandu Valley, nestled in the high plateaus of central Nepal at an elevation of 4,600 feet.

Nikhil Sharma, Market Managing Director Eurasia at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, commented on the signing, saying, "We are delighted to bring the Ramada by Wyndham brand to Nepal, marking our fourth hotel in the country. This underscores our commitment to sustained growth in the mid-market segment and further solidifies our presence in Kathmandu.

Upon reaching full operational capacity, the hotel is expected to create over 100 direct employment opportunities, contributing to the economic development of Kathmandu.
