Taj Tashi Hotel
Set in the heart of the Thimphu Valley, the Taj Tashi’s 5 star accommodations are the perfect escape to a land steeped in mythology and enchantment. In line with Bhutan's magical and natural beauty, this hotel has blended Dzong architecture with modern design. Adorned with classical hand-drawn Buddhist murals, each room offers striking highlights of the valley's art and color. Not even mentioning the stunning mountain views as they rise above the Thimphu Valley. In addition to the natural beauty of the region, the Bhutanese gastronomy at the Taj is splendid. Enjoy your royal stay in the mountains with all that this wonderful hotel has to offer, and don’t forget to stop by the Jiva Spa, you won’t regret it!
Zhiwa Ling Hotel
Five years in the making, Zhiwa Ling is a tribute to the ornate architectural arts of Bhutan. Every part of the hotel is handmade, from the massive hand-carved wooden beams to the seemingly endless designs of the colorful, hand-painted ceilings and walls. Zhiwa Ling provides the most authentic top-tier hospitality and accommodation experience in Bhutan and is Bhutan’s first locally owned, faithfully traditional hotel with 21st century conveniences. As a result, guests can experience an authentic Buddhist ceremony beside the 450-year-old timbers of our in-hotel temple while remaining comfortably warm thanks to an advanced Swedish in-floor heating system. Zhiwa Ling is a unique cultural hybrid–an exuberant celebration of the best of a 1,000-year-old culture combined with modern day innovations.
