New luxury hotel in Thimphu

Bhutan is moving on with opening yet another luxury hotel in its capital city by next year which will help ease the stay congestion that tourists are facing in seasons.

Best Western International group has announced to open a new hotel by mid-2015.

Best Western has signed an agreement to manage the new-build, 41-room hotel. Key facilities will include a fitness centre, spa, bar, conference room with meeting facilities, and a terrace lounge looking out on to the capital’s low-rise skyline.

Guests can choose between the hotel’s two restaurants including one traditional Bhutanese option with outdoor seating.

Best Western has been entering new markets under its Asian expansion strategy in the last couple of years. The hotel management company made its Myanmar debut last year and opened in Sri Lanka this year.
