Since opening its doors in late 2020, Hotel Mechi Crown in Jhapa has firmly established itself as a wedding and casino destination for many in the district and across the border. The hotel sees a steady flow of tourists from India, many who come to beat the heat or spend time at Nepal’s biggest casino ‘Casino Vegas’. Mechi Crown is so popular with weddings that it’s currently building an entire new block, adding fifty-rooms, in preparation for a significant wedding booking later in 2024. This will give the property approx 152 rooms.
The hotel which is located a stones throw away from Dhulabari has a middle-of-nowhere location. Thankfully, that makes no difference as you will find most things you need inside the premises. From its lush green grounds, huge pool, salon, spa, gym, multiple event spaces, casino to rooms of several categories; Hotel Mechi Crown really does deliver! It’s also only 25km away from Bagdogra Airport, India and 17km away from Bhadrapur Airport, Nepal. I spoke to some guests who had flown in from Calcutta to spend the weekend. Pretty cool.
While there are many large-scale resorts and hotels in operation across Nepal, I’ve often found that service is an area requiring much improvement. Surprisingly, the service by the staff took me by surprise. They were attentive and quick! Sometimes even at the emptiest of resorts and restaurants in Nepal, a quick and attentive service is hard to come by.
If you’re after rooms and comfort then you have five categories to choose from starting with Deluxe, Mechi Club Room, Executive Rooms, Mechi Suites and Villas! I was accommodated at the Mechi Club Rooms and they were spacious and pretty lovely! The hotel is much better when visited than in pictures.
Of course it was incredibly hot when I visited in May but thankfully the air-conditioned hallways and rooms were a heaven in the heat! The Meche Bar & Cafe by the pool is quite nice, I enjoyed a cocktail there. Hotel Mechi Crown will certainly be a spot where I’d like to stay again, hopefully on my travels to Siliguri, Darjeeling and Sikkim!
