While Thimphu’s Hotel Jumolhari takes its name from the remote mountain on the border with Tibet, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more centrally located place to stay in the capital city of Bhutan. Booking a room here will land you in a great position to explore the nearby handicraft markets, archery grounds, and local restaurants. This four-star hotel has three types of accommodations available: executive suites, junior suites, and deluxe standard rooms. Each variety is decorated in a decidedly contemporary, modern-chic style. And with only 26 rooms, you’ll be assured of attentive and individualized service from the hotel staff.

Guests at Hotel Jumolhari also enjoy access to a wide range of complimentary services and amenities. Unlimited internet access, satellite television, and air conditioning further cement the hotel’s reputation as a great choice for modern travelers. The free sauna and steam room is a particular highlight, especially after you’ve spent the day walking around the city. A variety of aromatherapy spa services are also available here. After you’ve been sufficiently pampered, don’t forget to check out the hotel restaurant. The menu boasts both Bhutanese and international cuisine, with its Indian fare coming especially recommended. Another unique feature of Hotel Jumolhari is its miniature library, which has lots of great reading material to prepare you for your upcoming adventures.
