Peaceful Resort

Thimphu


Nestled among well-to-do mansions and edging into the forested hills of Motithang, this chalet-like hotel is far removed from the distractions of the city. Spread over two blocks, the open-plan, wood-floored rooms are huge and the restaurant and staff are excellent. The location is very quiet but some development is going on in the area so that could change.
