Centrally located, this grande dame of hotels offers a beautiful respite to begin a Bhutan holiday.
Guest rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated with local textiles and traditional Bhutanese art. Deluxe Rooms have mountain views and can be set with either a king or two single beds. Similar in size, Deluxe Rooms with Sit Out offer outdoor seating and are only available with king beds. Luxury Rooms are similar to Deluxe with unique murals and additional touches of grandeur. Deluxe Suites sit on the upper floors with beautiful views, a spacious sitting area, and one king bed. Extra beds can be set for two children in these light-filled suites. Even more spacious are the Duplex Suites with their spiral staircases and marble bathrooms. For the ultimate in space and design, the Luxury Suites are adorned with a variety of art and evoke the long history of Bhutan.
Most meals are taken in the airy Thongsel restaurant with its soaring ceilings and a menu that goes beyond the country's borders. Rimps offers a cozy tea room while Ara, named for the nation's traditional spirit, is a sometimes buzzy spot for an evening tipple.
While this hotel is a bit larger than the Fleewinter team typically suggests, the central location and consistent quality make it an ideal choice for the first nights of a Bhutan holiday.
