The newly launched hotel, formerly known as Hotel Central Palm, has been rebranded and brought into operation under the name ‘Siddhartha Hotel Chitwan’, as shared by Laxman Neupane, the Chairman of Siddhartha Business Group.
Sprawled across approximately 25 ropani of land, the hotel is designed to cater to diverse guest preferences with 44 premium rooms, categorized into Suite, Super Deluxe, and Deluxe types. The property also features the elegantly curated Maya Dining Restaurant, offering guests a blend of local and international cuisines in a tranquil setting, just 500 meters from Pulchowk, the heart of Narayanghat.
Speaking about the hotel, Chairman Neupane stated, “This property will serve as a dependable destination for those seeking a peaceful yet accessible hotel experience near the bustling market area.” The hotel also includes several high-end amenities aimed at enhancing guest experiences. These include a swimming pool, a conference hall with a seating capacity of 400 guests in a theatre setup, and a boardroom accommodating around 50 guests ideal for corporate events, seminars, and private functions.
The company has also announced plans to invest further in upgrading the infrastructure and services. “We have taken over the management of this hotel under our brand with the vision of offering high-quality services at affordable rates while expanding Siddhartha’s hospitality chain,” Neupane added.
