Grand Central Hotel Private Limited has officially launched Ramada by Wyndham Itahari Pashupati Marg, thereby introducing an internationally branded hotel to Itahari, one of eastern Nepal’s rapidly developing commercial hubs. This development marks a significant step in elevating the region’s hospitality landscape.
Rahool Macarius, Market Managing Director – Eurasia, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said, “We are pleased to collaborate with Grand Central Hotel Private Limited to introduce the Ramada brand to Itahari. The city’s growing importance as a commercial gateway makes it a strong fit for internationally recognised hospitality, and this opening reflects our continued focus on expanding in high-growth secondary cities across South Asia.”
Strategically, the property features 81 well-appointed guest rooms designed to cater to both business and leisure travellers. In addition, the hotel offers a range of modern amenities, including an all-day dining restaurant, a bar and lounge, a health club, a spa, and an outdoor swimming pool. Furthermore, it provides banquet halls and a dedicated meeting room, making it suitable for corporate gatherings as well as social events.
The hotel, owned by Desh Bandhu Basnet, has been developed in partnership with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. Notably, this collaboration underscores the brand’s commitment to expanding its footprint in emerging markets. At the same time, it highlights the increasing demand for quality hospitality infrastructure in Itahari.
Moreover, Itahari is steadily emerging as a key transit and business hub in eastern Nepal. As a result, the launch of an internationally recognised hotel brand aligns with the city’s growing economic relevance and rising influx of travellers. Consequently, this development will further strengthen the region’s appeal for both domestic and international visitors.
The opening of Ramada by Wyndham Itahari Pashupati Marg reflects a broader trend of global hospitality brands targeting high-growth secondary cities. Going forward, such expansions are likely to play a crucial role in shaping the future of tourism and business travel in emerging markets like Nepal.
