Amankora Thimphu

Located just outside the capital of Thimphu, the hotel is well-placed to explore the gorgeous western and central valleys.

Crisp white linen and warm wood furnishings make the hotel’s 16 attractive suites a luxurious place to unwind. With each featuring a traditional bukhari wood-burning stove and a terrazzo-clad bath for authentic charm, the suites provide spacious lounge areas overlooking the adjacent courtyard and pine forest beyond.

Accessed via a charming courtyard, the hotel’s Living and Dining Room combines the flavours of local and Thai cuisine to offer guests a diverse menu in a beautiful setting. Top-notch service, amazing valley views, and the sweet sound of traditional Bhutanese music combine for an enchanting dining experience.

The capital’s bustling streets are ideal for sightseeing and shopping; peruse local handicrafts and Himalayan jewellery, or marvel at the architectural splendor of His Majesty’s Tashichoe Dzong. Explore the natural wonder of the valley with a walk along one of the country’s oldest cantilever bridges, visiting Cheri Goemba on the way; it was here that the kingdom’s first monk community was formed. Back at the hotel, head to the spa for their signature treatment; a Hot Oil Head Massage. Using nourishing coconut oil, the Ayurveda-based treatment is the ultimate treat to detox and soothe the body after a day’s trekking in the Himalayan wilderness.
