Don’t be fooled by its traditional appearance; the Hotel Thimphu Towers is an undeniably modern facility, with everything you need to serve as your headquarters when visiting Bhutan’s capital city. Though recently constructed, each element of its design has been carefully planned to reflect its uniquely Bhutanese heritage. Everything from the cement used to pour the hotel’s foundation to the vegetables on your dinner plate has come from right here in Bhutan. The staff members also happen to be experts on the country and are happy to outfit guests with maps and guidebooks and to assist them with booking tours and transportation in town.

Accommodation at the Hotel Thimphu Towers is comprised of 28 rooms categorized as either Premium or Deluxe. Both options provide easy access to Wi-Fi internet, cable television, and modern amenities like a safe, hair dryer, and in-room coffee machine. The Premium rooms here are especially worth a look, thanks to their floor-to-ceiling glass windows. These afford a great view of Changlimithang Stadium, home of the country’s national football team. The stadium also hosts archery tournaments and women’s football, so there’s always something to see right from the comfort of your room. The Hotel Thimphu Towers restaurant is also glass-walled, offering a direct view onto the bustling Clock Tower Square. You can sit down to a locally-sourced Bhutanese meal while watching the comings and goings of the townspeople below.
