Best for
Couples,
Families
Hotel Druk is in the heart of Thimphu city, so its attractions, landmarks and shopping areas are right on your doorstep.
It may be a simple property, but it is filled with traditional Bhutanese character and is right in the heart of things.
Unique touches include painted motifs in the rooms and on the hotel’s exterior, and this large hotel offers attentive and genuine service from its team. We highly recommend the Indian restaurant that serves up delicious dishes.
Perfect for couples, families and first-timers wanting comfort and convenience in the capital.
Hotel Druk provides a straightforward, centrally located base with everything you need within walking distance. For urban explorers or those passing through between valleys, it’s an easy and reliable choice.
The Rooms
The Bhutanese style rooms come in 3 different colour palettes, drawn from the elements. The grey rooms were our favourite but can’t be guaranteed. Besides the colour scheme, all rooms are similar with rustic interiors and a sense of warmth while facilities and amenities are modern. The dark marble bathrooms are lovely and fitted with bathtubs.
If you prefer to retreat to a peaceful and spacious oasis at the end of a day, Druk Hotel is probably not for you as it can get a bit noisy. However, it is a great base from which to explore the delights of the city.
What You'll Find:
- Clean, well-equipped rooms for a smooth stay
- Warm Bhutanese hospitality and helpful staff
- A practical base for exploring the capital on foot
Why You’ll Love It:
- Stay close to the city’s main attractions and local life
- Enjoy a comfortable retreat after full days out in Thimphu
- Ideal for those who prefer convenience without fuss

In Our Travellers’ Words
ETG perfectly arranged a complicated itinerary taking the stress away
1 week in Cambodia followed by 3 weeks in Vietnam involving numerous flights transfers tours and hotels which exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a well organised itinerary.
Everything we had hoped for and more
ETG really listened and discovered not just exactly the type of holiday we wanted, but also what our particular interests and preferences were, so the holiday was completely bespoke. Our brilliant guide took us to meet Vietnamese people where we saw and heard firsthand how they lived and worked. Too many high points to mention.
ETG look outside the box
They always come up with things that no one else seems to, that's why they are so good. They are original and trying their best to show you the real country and people and not the facade. Great listeners, always a smile and a good banter... exceptional service and insight.
