A central hotel on Thimphu's Clock Tower Square, part of the Druk Hotels group. You can walk to cafes, the craft bazaar and Norzin Lam, and the rooms are heated properly for Thimphu's cold winters.

Hotel Druk faces the Clock Tower Square, the open plaza at the heart of Thimphu where events and concerts are held. It is one of the city's established mid-range hotels and belongs to the same group as the Hotel Druk in Phuentsholing. Rooms are comfortable, with central heating, which counts in a city where winter nights drop below freezing. The hotel has a restaurant serving Indian, Bhutanese and Continental food.

Its strength is location. Norzin Lam, the main street, is a minute away, with cafes, bookshops and the handicraft emporiums. The weekend market and the Memorial Chorten are short drives or a 15–20 minute walk. In the evening you can stroll around the square and the town without needing the car. It suits families and older travellers who want comfort without the price of Thimphu's premium hotels.

Why we like it

  • On the Clock Tower Square, walkable to Norzin Lam
  • Proper heating for Thimphu winters
  • Reliable mid-range comfort

Watch out for

Events on the Clock Tower Square can be noisy into the evening; ask for a room away from the square if you sleep early.
