Taj Tashi

Name: Taj Tashi
Address: Thimphu

premium

Thimphu's best-known luxury hotel, built in dzong style a few minutes' walk from the city centre and close to Tashichho Dzong. Large heated rooms with painted woodwork, a spa and the city at the door.

Taj Tashi was built in the style of a dzong, with whitewashed walls, sloping roofs and painted wooden windows, and the interiors carry hand-painted murals and Bhutanese textiles. It stands on the edge of central Thimphu, so you can walk to Norzin Lam, the cafes and the craft bazaar, and Tashichho Dzong is a short drive. Rooms are large, well heated and have views over the city or the hills.

The hotel has several restaurants, including Indian and Bhutanese menus, a bar, a spa and a fitness centre. Service is polished in the way Taj guests from India will recognise. It suits travellers who want luxury in the capital without going out of town, and who value a central base over a remote lodge. For families celebrating a special occasion, it is also an easier choice than the small, quiet luxury lodges in Paro and Punakha.

Why we like it

Dzong-style building with hand-painted interiors
Walking distance to central Thimphu
Familiar Taj service and Indian food

Watch out for

It is a city hotel; if you want silence and valley views, Paro and Punakha lodges do that better.

Questions people ask

Good to know

Is Taj Tashi in central Thimphu

Yes. It is on the edge of the city centre, a short walk from Norzin Lam and the cafes, and a few minutes' drive from Tashichho Dzong. That makes it the most central of Thimphu's luxury hotels. You can go out on foot in the evening without your car.

How much does Taj Tashi cost per night

Roughly ₹25,000–45,000 per room night, indicative 2026, depending on room type, season and offers. Remember that the SDF of ₹1,200 per person per night for Indians, or US$100 for other nationalities, is paid separately on top of the hotel bill. Check current status before you travel.

Does Taj Tashi serve Indian food

Yes. Its restaurants include Indian dishes alongside Bhutanese and international menus, and the kitchen handles vegetarian and Jain requests. It is a comfortable choice for Indian families who want familiar food after days of datshi and red rice.
