Set in the heart of the Thimphu Valley, the Taj Tashi, is a gateway to a land steeped in mythology and magic. The mountain kingdom of Bhutan remains one of the old world’s last few strongholds, as yet unspoilt by civilization. In the charmed isolation of the Himalayan heights, Bhutan’s ancient and alluring ways of Mahayana Buddhism continue richly intact to this day and permeate every aspect of Bhutanese life and art.
In keeping with the enchanting surrounds, the hotel is a blend of Bhutan’s Dzong architecture and modern design. Adorned with classical hand-drawn Buddhist murals, its 66 elegant guestrooms afford guests striking highlights of the region’s art and colour. Besides breathtaking views of the mountains that rise above the Thimphu valley.
Continuing the journey into mystical Bhutan at the Taj Tashi, guests can sample Bhutan’s fiery cuisine, gaze at the mesmerizing prayer wheels through its panoramic windows, make short but rewarding forays into the vibrant local markets, pleasantly while their time in one of the hotel’s traditional themed cafe’s and restaurants, or find yet more ways to relax with a special ‘Bhutanese Hot Stone Bath’ at the Jiva Spa.
Taj Tashi’s location in the capital city of Thimphu, makes it the ideal base from which to explore the tiny kingdom’s spectacular monasteries, centuries-old street festivals, scenic mountain passes and pristine wilderness, all within easy reach.
Every guest to the hotel is welcomed by blessing prayer led by a senior monk.
Taj Tashi is the 5-stars hotel with the largest number of rooms. This is the hotel of choice for diplomatic guests and international convention. As such, it is not uncommon to catch a glimpse of members of royalties, even the King or Queen, in the compound.
