Hotels in Bhutan
Hotels in Bhutan come in all shapes and sizes. With the building of high
end luxury resort chains by international groups like Aman and Como
Resorts, the overall profile of hotels in Bhutan have been raised. Now you
will find accommodation in Bhutan
from farmhouses to exclusive luxury resorts where high-end travellers can
stay in style.
As tourists, you are expected to be accommodated only in Department of Tourism (DoT) approved hotels. All DoT-approved tourist hotels in Bhutan offer clean and comfortable accommodation. All these hotels have electricity, telephone connection, individual bathrooms and running hot water.
In
most parts of Bhutan, you'll
discover hotels that
are memorable for their individuality and in
convenient locations on the main travelling routes and
valleys in Bhutan. Most of these hotels are family owned and run. Hosts
are welcoming and can be interesting source
of local cultural insights and information.
Few of the larger hotels in Thimphu and Paro offer fairly high quality accommodation. Generally, as you move further into the country from west to east, hotel rooms become basic and rudimentary. Hotel rooms have wooden panelled floor with decorations of Bhutanese motifs.
There is no central heating in most hotels in Bhutan. (Well, the new hotel in Paro have Swedish central heating system installed.) Hotels rooms are provided with electric heaters each, while electric water heaters are installed in your bathrooms. In Bumthang valley, hotels rooms have wooden heaters called Bukhari to heat the room.
Restaurants
in the hotels offer buffet meals during the peak tourist season. On off
season and you are in a group, a buffet would be set up. Otherwise, you
can order from the menu (provided the hotel chef is not on leave). In
larger towns like Thimphu, you can eat out in other restaurants in the
town.
