Hotel in the center of Thimpu
In the middle of the capital Thimphu is Taj Tashi. Only upon entering notice that this hotel is a combination of the traditional Dzongs and modern architecture. From the outside, Taj Tashi looks like an old Bhutaan palace with golden accents and traditional carvings along windows and window frames. Also in the rooms this traditional carvings come back, but the décor is modern.
Guests have a choice of a large number of stays. From Deluxe Rooms overlooking the coniferous forests to the suites on the top floor with panoramic views of the valley. Views are also guaranteed from the roof terrace. Lounge chairs are available so you can enjoy them in peace. With this view you would almost forget that Taj Tashi is located in the capital and therefore close by everywhere. Thimphu's weekend market is within walking distance and a festival takes place and you'll be in the middle of it. But in the background, the peaks of the Himalayas always remain visible.
