Partnering with anya Hospitality, this landmark agreement brings Accor’s design-led, high-energy TRIBE brand to Nepal, marking a significant milestone in the group’s regional expansion strategy.
Scheduled to open in 2026, the property is strategically located in Patan (Lalitpur), a historical and cultural hub adjacent to central Kathmandu, making it an attractive destination for both international explorers and contemporary business travelers.
Key Highlights of TRIBE Kathmandu Patan:
South Asian Brand Debut: This property represents the inaugural footprint of the TRIBE brand in the South Asian region, known globally for its functional, urban, and design-centric approach to hospitality.
Modern Accommodation: The hotel will feature 112 smartly designed rooms that maximize space and comfort, utilizing cutting-edge technology and minimalist aesthetics.

Comprehensive Amenities: Guests will have access to an all-day dining restaurant, a well-equipped fitness center, and flexible meeting spaces tailored for digital nomads and corporate events.
The entry of TRIBE into Kathmandu underscores the evolution of Nepal’s hospitality industry from traditional luxury toward lifestyle-oriented, experiential travel. By targeting a demographic that values smart design, community spaces, and accessible luxury, Accor and anya Hospitality aim to fill a distinct gap in the market, setting a new benchmark for urban hospitality in the subcontinent.
