Hotel Zhiwaling

The 5* Hotel Zhiwaling is nestled in the tree-clad hills surrounding the Paro Valley, a short distance from Paro town. It was built to resemble a dzong with intricate wood carving and hand-painted decoration that took five painstaking years to complete. The spectacular lobby is a work of art in its own right. Attractive rooms are located in either the main building or in cottages set amidst the hotel's beautifully landscaped gardens. As you would expect, they have every amenity and modern day comfort as well as giving sumptous views across the Paro Valley. Along with a fine restaurant, spa and outdoor hot stone bath, the Zhilwaling has its own temple, teahouse and a greenhouse showcasing some of Bhutan's rarest plants. And for the full zen experience, why not try some quiet contemplation with the monks in the meditation house.
