IHG® Hotels & Resorts, a leading global hospitality company, recently announced the signing of a management agreement with Mansarovar Amusement Park & Resort for the development of Crowne Plaza Resort Nepalgunj in Nepal. The resort, scheduled to open in early 2028, will boast over 100 rooms and significantly contribute to IHG’s expanding presence in the SWA region.
Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts is one of the world’s foremost premium hotel brands, with over 520 properties either operational or in the development pipeline across major cities and resort destinations. Built upon a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary business traveler’s requirements, Crowne Plaza’s “Work/Life Blend” ethos offers versatile spaces enabling guests to seamlessly transition between work and social engagements.
Situated in the bustling sub-metropolitan area of Banke District, Nepalgunj serves as a pivotal transportation hub for Nepal’s western regions. Its proximity to the southern border with Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich district in India makes it a convenient stop for travelers moving between the two countries. The city is renowned for its treks to the Dolpo Plateau and Jumla region, providing an ideal base camp for Himalayan explorations, complemented by its rich cultural heritage and abundant natural beauty. The forthcoming resort will enjoy easy accessibility from Nepalgunj Airport and the India-Nepal border, catering to the diverse needs of leisure and blended travel enthusiasts.
Crowne Plaza Resort Nepalgunj will provide exceptional dining experiences through three food and beverage outlets tailored to various guest preferences. Guests seeking relaxation will find amenities such as a fitness center, club lounge, spa, and retail store. For meetings and events, the hotel will feature two meeting rooms, one of which will be a ballroom.
The signing of Crowne Plaza Resort Nepalgunj represents a strategic milestone in IHG’s expansion into South West Asia, a region ripe with increasing demand for world-class hospitality. With the strong brand recall of Crowne Plaza, the signing further strengthens IHG’s positioning in Nepal and highlights the company’s commitment to bringing premium offerings to key markets across the region.
