Taj Tashi Luxury Hotel Thimpu Bhutan
Very good rates for Blue Lizard Travellers

Taking traditional Bhutanese styles and colours of black. ochre and gold the Taj Group have created a jewel in Thimpu. It has been newly built to exacting standards of Taj excellence and large spaces create a feeling of opulence. The incredibly welcoming staff and the intimate spaces of the bar and restaurant have an effect which is far more personal than you would necessarily expect.

The staff are currently partially Bhutanese whilst Taj skills are taught by the experienced Indian staff. The attention to your comfort is amazing as the staff aim to please and provide a warm welcome. It seems that no request is too much and the local knowledge is very valuable to the traveller. I was really impressed with the staff at Taj Tashi.

This is a good base from which to explore the capital. Don't think big though, it is Bhutan - there are some shops, a market, national museums, amazing government buildings and the Royal Family and their residence.

 

Holiday Details

Accommodation at Taj Tashi Bhutan

All the accommodation is to the high standards one expects with this hotel group, however the suites have more space than I expected. The standard rooms are carefully planned with good quality linens and furnishings. All bathrooms are fitted adequately and have a great screen which opens onto the main room. You can have a bath, watch tv and have a conversation if you want...

Dining at Taj Tashi Bhutan

The central lobby area opens onto quite a westernised high ceilinged central dining area where breakfast and lunch can be taken. The lunches are delicious and include many international and Bhutanese flavours. The cuisine generally is surprisingly yummie for such a remote country, but this is down to the talents of the Indian chef and his team.

Evening meals can be taken in the intimate restaurant. I loved the outside area where we had pre-dinner drinks around a sunken bonfire.

Facilities at Taj Tashi Bhutan

Eventually there will be a pool here, in the meantime the spa provides a good range of quality treatments. Either have them in the spa or your room. Of particular mention is the Indian Head Massage - best ever !!
