Tushar Nagar, General Manager of Hyatt Place Butwal, said, “The overwhelming response to our New Year’s Eve celebration clearly reflects that Butwal is ready for a premium lifestyle experience.

Hyatt Place Butwal is here to bridge that gap - serving business travelers, leisure guests, and the region’s expanding trade ecosystem.”

Designed to cater to both business and leisure travellers, the hotel offers international-standard accommodation, meeting and event spaces, multiple dining outlets, a fitness centre, and an outdoor swimming pool.
