Zhiwaling Heritage Hotel PARO, BHUTAN
Nestled amid an expansive garden bursting with flowers and trees in the picturesque valley of Paro, Zhiwaling Heritage Hotel stands as one of the gateways to Bhutan. This Bhutanese-owned establishment was handcrafted over a five-year period by a team of hundreds of local artisans. Situated just a 15-minute drive from the airport,
Zhiwaling offers easy access to Bhutan’s most revered temples and monasteries. The base of Taktsang Monastery, popularly known as Tiger’s Nest and regarded as a symbol of Bhutanese spirituality, is just a 10-minute drive from the hotel. Guests can enjoy a magnificent view of this revered monastery perched on a cliff from the Samden Meditation House. At the property’s Tea House, guests can
partake in a traditional suja, or butter tea making ceremony. This ancient practice involves boiling tea leaves with salt and butter, resulting in a rich, savoury brew, offering a unique and authentic experience for guests seeking to immerse themselves in Bhutanese traditions. Zhiwaling seamlessly blends its traditional
roots with modern comforts, offering Swedish technology underfloor heating and electric golf carts to whisk guests’ luggage to the rooms located in the eight cottages, each named after one of the Eight Lucky Signs, representing specific aspects of Buddhist teachings. The Royal Raven Suite is the crown jewel of Zhiwaling, with an expansive sitting room, private dining area, two well appointed bedrooms and a balcony with views of the Paro valley. The one bedroom suites, with their spacious sitting rooms and private balconies offer stunning views of the valley and are ideal for families. The hotel’s two restaurants, Lingka whose name
means ‘garden’ and Gawa, meaning ‘happiness’, offer a diverse range of cuisine and fine-dining options. The Mad Monk Bar features a cosy fireplace made of stone where guests can relax. Zhiwaling’s offerings include quaint cottages spread across the property, such as the Samden Meditation House and the Menlha Spa, providing sanctuary for wellness with spa treatments and an outdoor Bhutanese hot-stone bath. Guests can also enjoy the indoor heated pool, gym, and Tea House.
