A smart and stylish new address in the downtown area of Bhutan's capital

The first hotel in Bhutan with a full-fledged in-house art gallery featuring the work of local artists, The Capital Hotel in Thimphu is a new high-end family-owned property in the center of the city.

It blends traditional Bhutanese motifs and designs with a clean and contemprary aesthetic. The rooms are meticulously appointed and offer views of the surrounding mountains. The hotel’s dining offers a mix of traditional Bhutanese, international favorites and regional flavors.

Beyond comfortable rooms, the hotel includes a small fitness center, spa, and conference facilities. The Thimphu Capital Hotel’s mission statement includes “commitment to preserving Bhutan’s unique heritage while providing guests with a world-class experience.” From the traditional architecture and décor to the genuine warmth of its staff, every aspect of the hotel reflects a subtle style with quiet Bhutanese hospitality.

The eldest of the three Bhutanese sisters who owns the hotel is the wife of Bhutan’s former Ambassador to Belgium, and the echoes of her years living and hosting diplomatic missions in a European capital imparts a distinctly sophisticated sensibility to one of the city’s premier new hotels.
