Pemako Thimphu

A haven of luxury in the heart of Bhutan’s capital, Pemako Thimphu (formerly Taj Tashi Bhutan) is renowned for the excellence of its service and has a true sense of place. The architecture of this beautiful boutique property blends traditional Bhutanese motifs with modern design and colourful hand-drawn Buddhist murals.

Guest accommodation is in 66 rooms and suites which look out over the city and pine-topped mountains of the Thimphu Valley. The stylish rooms capture the essence of Bhutanese architecture with their traditional artworks and extensive use of woodwork. All rooms have flat-screen televisions, a minibar, tea/coffee-making facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi, and expansive marble bathrooms with luxury bath amenities. Thankfully, good soundproofing makes the well-known nightly barking of Thimphu’s canine population hard to hear.

Guests staying at Pemako Thimphu can enjoy a range of culinary experiences at the hotel ranging from sampling Bhutanese fare at the stunningly decorated Chig-Ja-Gye fine dining restaurant to sipping Bhutan’s distinctive salted butter tea at Rimps and enjoying favourite Indian, Bhutanese and European dishes at Thongsel.

At the end of a busy day’s sightseeing, guests may wish to unwind at Pemako Thimphu’s Lotus Realm Spa with its heated indoor swimming pool, 24-hour fitness centre, and traditional Bhutanese hot stone baths.
