Two new four-star hotels are beginning operation in Kathmandu Valley right on the eve of Nepal Tourism Year 2011.
Implementing Expert Group (IEG) – the investment group of businessmen and professionals involved in international trade – is preparing for the grand opening of the new hotels – Red Rose Apartment Hotel at Pulchowk and Airport Hotel near Tribhuvan International Airport – in December.
The group is spending more than Rs 1 billion in the two projects. Binayak Shah, active member of IEG and executive director of both the hotels, said the hotels would focus on upmarket clientele and that they will not compromise on quality.
This is the biggest investment in Nepali hotel industry after the opening of Hotel Hyatt Regency about a decade ago.

He added that they group will organize soft opening of the both the hotels in 2010 and aggressively promote them in both national and international markets in the beginning of 2011.
“The construction works have already been completed. We are just giving finishing touches to the hotels,” he added.
Airport Hotel, which is located just in front the Golden Gate of Tribhuvan International Airport, will have 55 rooms in five floors. The hotel will target people traveling to and from Tribhuvan International Airport, according to Shah.
