Dusit signs deal with Hotel Lhasa International

Leading Thai hotel and property group Dusit International has signed a deal with Hotel Lhasa International to open the Dusit Princess Kathmandu.

This property is set to become the second Dusit-branded hotel the group has signed in Nepal after the Dusit Thani Himalayan Resort & Spa, further cementing the brand’s presence and profile in the region.

The new signing will form part of the midrange Dusit Princess brand and will be in the enviable Lazimpat neighbourhood of Kathmandu. The hotel is a convenient 20-minute drive from the international airport, and many of the city’s most popular attractions and sights are within walking distance.
