Khang Residency

Thimphu


This modern block close to the Changangkha Lhakhang eschews the ubiquitous pine cladding found in many hotels for a sleek international feel. The rooms have underfloor heating and space to spread out in, there's a gym, spa and restaurant, and you can rent mountain bikes for Nu 500 per hour.

Premium rooms are good for small groups, as three rooms share a communal TV room and kitchen.
