Stunning hotel, a must for your visit to Bhutan

I have had the pleasure to stay at Zhiwaling Heritage Hotel on many occasions over the past decade. It is one of my favorite hotels anywhere. Where to start, the property is spectacular, inspired by traditional Bhutanese architecture, the main structure and surrounding buildings are exquisite. The property is vast, with beautiful landscaping and cottages dotted around the property, great place to wander and enjoy the grounds. The newly renovated rooms are large, comfortable and well appointed. Staff are gracious, friendly and helpful. The manager, Mr. Brent Hyde is delightful. The food (and this my only negative) ranges from good to superb, but I feel in such a property is should always be superb. However this is minor quibble and will not keep me from returning to this remarkable and unique hotel.

A superb hotel

A beautiful building in Paro, and the room accommodation and food in the restaurant matched its outstanding Bhutanese architecture. The staff greetings and helpfulness made the stay very pleasant. A good location for doing the Tiger's nest hike. I highly recommend this hotel.

Zhiwa Ling Heritage

Beautiful hotel in Paro, Bhutan

This is a beautiful hotel in the magical and serene Paro Valley in Bhutan, a place as far away as one can imagine and more than a bit like the fictional Shangri La. Constructed in the architectural style of the country, it is a gorgeous property, with lots of open space. Rooms are located in about eight separate buildings, four to six rooms per building, all with balconies facing the nearby river. Our room was spacious and very nicely decorated; it included a separate tub and shower, comfortable king size bed, balcony seating area and more than ample closet space. The fitness center is reasonably well-equipped and situated in a large, attractive space adjacent to a large indoor swimming pool. The lobby and public meeting spaces are distinctively and comfortably furnished and decorated in the local style. The staff is as gracious and anxious to please as one can find in a hotel anywhere. This is a top tier hotel by any standard

Zhiwa Ling Heritage Hotel is the place to stay in Paro Bhutan

This hotel is the most pleasant surprise. Situated on 12 acres with spectacular views, magnificent hand carved architectural details, near Tiger Nest and with impeccable service it would be my first choice in Bhutan. It is over seen by Brent Hyde, manager for 16 years, who is on the floor all the time making sure each guest's needs are met. During COVID the entire hotel was renovated. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. You can stay in the main building or in one of the town house's junior suites, a short walk from the main building through beautifully maintained gardens. The Spa was particularly delightful and very reasonably priced.
