The Marriott stands in Naxal, a residential and embassy district north-east of the city centre. It is a newer building than most of Kathmandu's luxury hotels, opened in 2019, with contemporary rooms, several restaurants and the kind of consistent service that international chain guests expect. From here Thamel is about 2 km, Durbar Marg and the Narayanhiti Palace Museum roughly 1 km, and the airport around 5 km.
We offer the Marriott in luxury and honeymoon packages for guests who collect Marriott Bonvoy points or simply prefer a modern room with good soundproofing after a long sightseeing day. It is also a convenient base for Pashupatinath and Boudhanath, both 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Because it is a newer property in a quieter street, mornings are calm, which helps on days that begin with a 6 am Everest mountain flight.

Questions travellers ask
Where is the Kathmandu Marriott Hotel located?
The Kathmandu Marriott is in Naxal, north-east of the city centre, about 1 km from Durbar Marg and the Narayanhiti Palace Museum and roughly 2 km from Thamel. Tribhuvan International Airport is around 5 km away, normally 20 to 25 minutes by car. Pashupatinath and Boudhanath are each 15 to 20 minutes by road.
Marriott or Dwarika's for a luxury Nepal trip?
Choose Dwarika's for heritage character: Newar carvings, courtyards and a hotel that is itself a sight. Choose the Marriott for a modern international room, chain consistency and loyalty points. Both work for our luxury and honeymoon packages, and some guests split their Kathmandu nights, staying at the Marriott on arrival and Dwarika's at the end of the trip.
Can we earn Marriott Bonvoy points on a package booking?
Points usually depend on how the room is booked. Rooms booked through a tour operator at contracted rates may not earn points in the same way as direct bookings. If points matter to you, tell us when you enquire and we can price the package without the Kathmandu hotel so you can book the Marriott directly.
