“This dzong-style hotel is set in the Motithang area outside of Thimphu in Bhutan. Rooms are laid out like monks' quarters and feature minimalist lines with stone and wood accents; a johari stove is prepared daily and there are armchairs and a windowseat for lounging. Unwind in the spa; a chic stay.”

Amankora Thimpu

Situated on a pine-forested hill on the outskirts of the capital, Thimphu, in the desirable Motithang neighbourhood, neighbouring Bhutanese royalty, the fortress-inspired hotel is situated in a forest, with views over a burbling stream and sweet-smelling pines.
