In the heart of Thimphu, The Pemako Thimphu (formerly the Taj Tashi) casts a grand silhouette against the forested hills surrounding Bhutan’s bustling capital.
Combining the Taj brand’s sophisticated luxury with elegant, Bhutanese dzong-style architecture creates a classic, timeless hotel where you can recharge your batteries after exploring the city.
This hotel is sprinkled with ornate details and abstract artwork, giving it a lavish overall effect, but the flashes of bold colour bring in a beautiful contemporary edge. Freestanding tubs add a layer of opulence to those post-sightseeing soaks, and cosy seating areas give you the option to spend time relaxing in the privacy of your suite. All rooms face towards the mountains, with floor-to-ceiling windows bringing in plenty of light and offering spectacular views of the horizon.

Why we love it
“Warm hospitality, fantastic friendly service and great food. We would come back in a flash!”
Luxury & tradition
This hotel oozes opulence with a flair for sophistication. Whilst the grandeur of the hotel is impressive, it’s the small things that make Pemako Thimpu stand out. Receive a blessing from a resident monk, visit the local handicraft shops, dress in traditional Bhutanese attire, dine in the hotel’s award winning restaurant, or spend the evening watching a traditional dance performance by the fire. Luxury infused with tradition – it’s the icing on the cake.
Honeymooners’ haven
Most couples are looking for something extra special for their honeymoon; something they can remember fondly on their 50th wedding anniversary. If you’re happy to splash out a little, then Pemako Thimpu delivers another level of elegance, awash with romance, that you won’t forget. Whether you’re looking for adventure, tradition, culture, or just completely faultless service and attentive pampering, we’re confident you won’t be disappointed and will make the kind of memories you’ve been dreaming of.
What can you do there?
Head to the markets for a wander around the shops, explore the scenic mountains on an all-day trekking adventure, or try your hand at archery. Dine with mountain views in the spacious open-plan restaurant, sip traditional salted-butter tea in the chic lounge, and treat yourself to Bhutanese fine-dining in the evening. However luxurious the rest of the hotel, the spa is undoubtedly its star feature. Offering an extensive range of treatments including hot-stone baths, herbal body wraps and therapeutic massage, as well as a heated pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, this is the perfect place to enjoy some full-on pampering bliss.
