The hotel

Marriott's first address in the capital.

Le Méridien Thimphu opened in 2014 as the first Marriott International hotel in the Bhutanese capital. It is a modern building of seventy-eight rooms, most of them Classic rooms, with a handful of Deluxe rooms and suites. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the town or up to the mountains that close in the valley. A banquet hall of some 4,100 square feet takes meetings and events.

The hotel stands on Chorten Lam, in the centre, so the town's markets and museums are close enough to walk to. Downstairs, Latitude 27 is a coffee house by day and a lounge by night. Every other evening, Bhutanese musicians play at the open-air restaurant, and the pool is heated and under cover, so it can be used all year.

  • Indoor pool A heated pool under cover, free for guests, with a gym, steam room and sauna.
  • Explore Spa Massages and body treatments, with steam and sauna alongside.
  • On foot The centre of Thimphu, its markets and museums, a short walk from the door.

Getting there

Flying to Thimphu.

Every flight into Bhutan lands at Paro, about 55 kilometres away by road; allow an hour and a half up the valley, our estimate. Paro opens from sunrise to sunset only, and private jets need Bhutan's approval and a crew certified for the approach.

Business & First Class Scheduled flights The national airlines connect Paro with Bangkok and Singapore to the east, Dubai to the west, and Delhi, Kolkata, Kathmandu and Dhaka nearer home; travellers from Europe change in one of those hubs. Request a fare Private Jet Private jets A private flight needs Bhutan’s approval first, and the crew must hold the special certification that Paro’s approach demands. We settle both before departure, time the landing for the light, and have the car waiting for the road up the valley. Request a jet
