Blending traditional architecture with refined contemporary touches, Pemako Thimphu is a serene base from which to explore Bhutan’s bustling capital. The hotel’s design draws inspiration from traditional dzongs, with hand-drawn Buddhist murals, carved motifs and elegant interiors that reflect Bhutan’s spiritual heritage. Its 66 rooms and suites offer views across the Thimphu Valley, some with private terraces, and all with plush furnishings, floor warmers and marble bathrooms.
Pemako’s central location places guests within easy reach of the city’s cultural landmarks, yet the hotel itself feels peaceful with a spa rooted in Sowa-Rigpa healing traditions, quiet courtyards, and refined dining that celebrates Bhutanese, Tibetan and European flavours. Experiences range from archery and weaving demonstrations to guided visits to monasteries and traditional villages. Whether you’re here for self-discovery or slow immersion, Pemako Thimphu offers a thoughtful introduction to the kingdom’s contemplative pace.
