Bhutan Hotels

An incredible adventure will remember you a trip to Bhutan . The amazing nature of the Himalayan mountains, good-natured monks, intimidating legends and customs, the flavor of local cuisine - much will be for you if not a novelty, then certainly something unusual. This country opened its doors to tourism relatively recently - just some 30 years ago, and television and the Internet became accessible to Bhutanese only in the last 15 years. Despite all these seemingly serious deprivations, the locals are quite content with their lives. But an ordinary tourist, as a rule, in his rest is eager for maximum comfort, and in particular - for living. In this article you can find out more about hotels in Bhutan and their features.

Relax with comfort

Naturally, in this section we will talk about the most chic and comfortable hotels in Bhutan, whose names are four or five stars. However, we will not criticize the soul - there are only one or two places here and it's all right. If we talk about Paro (in the vicinity of which is the only international airport in the country) and Thimphu , the capital of Bhutan, then hotels of this kind can be found less than a dozen. Among the best hotels you can note:

  1. Le Meridien Paro Riverfront . This is the nearest hotel to the airport. Among the iconic "five-star" services - spa, children's playroom, restaurant and a decent service. The staff here speaks Hindi and English, but the prices are somewhat overstated.
  2. Naksel Boutique Hotel & Spa . This wonderful place is located just 5 km from one of the most beautiful monasteries of the country - Taksang-lakhanga , and in a local restaurant you can taste not only local cuisine with ostrinka, but also eat dishes of international cuisine familiar to our diet. In addition, guests are invited to relax in the wellness spa and sauna. Also, a leisurely walk through the garden, which is located on the territory of the hotel, will be an excellent pastime.
  3. Uma by COMO . There is an indoor swimming pool and a fitness center. What is characteristic, the hotel has its own tour desk, the consultants of which will help you solve small problems and answer any questions that arise. And in a local restaurant you can ask to cook lunch in lunch boxes, in order to later arrange a picnic in the park area of ​​the hotel.
  4. Terma Linca Resort & Spa . This hotel is known as a real spa resort, which also has a fitness room, massage room and its wellness center. In addition, on its territory there is a specially equipped field for archery - for those tourists who want to join the Bhutanese culture.
  5. Taj Tashi Bhutan . Located in the heart of the Thimphu Valley. The architecture here is sustained in the traditional Bhutanese style, but at the same time everything looks luxurious and expensive. At the hotel there are as many as 4 restaurants! There is also a spa and fitness center.
  6. Ariya Hotel . In addition to the usual range of hotel services, you can comfortably relax on the terrace. This hotel is especially suitable for a large company or with young children.

Budget travel

Well, the most expensive vacation spots have been considered, now we will try to get acquainted with more mundane living conditions in Bhutan . By the way, it is more likely that your tour operator will settle you at a hotel of this level. An obligatory condition for obtaining a Bhutan visa is cooperation with the travel agency, and it, in turn, requires the state to populate tourists in hotels that are rated at least three stars. Therefore, only those who have the right to cross the border of Bhutan without hindrance, or the local residents, can afford anything that is lower.

So, let's figure out what awaits in Bhutan an ordinary tourist in relation to comfortable living. Among the Paro hotels, pay attention to such: Haven Resort, Rema Resort, Kichu Resorts, Metta Resort and Spa. The list of services here is usually the same. They differ only in their location and remoteness to a particular temple or airport. All rooms are clean, have air conditioning and TV, private bathroom. In the capital of Bhutan, you can settle in hotels such as Gakyil Thimphu, Khamsum Inn, Hotel Norbuling, Hotel Amodhara. Again, only the location has changed, and the services and the service are exactly the same.

Whichever hotel you choose - luxurious and comfortable or "three-star" - take with you on the trip a surge protector. In Bhutan, there are often voltage surges, and in order to avoid breaking phones, laptops or other equipment, it is better to warn yourself of buying such a device. In addition, there are power outages in general, but with this the staff of any hotel is successfully able to cope.
