Eighty-three rooms in Thimphu's centre — IHCL's five-star Bhutan property, with panoramic city views from the Sky Garden Restaurant.

Yarkay Thimphu is IHCL SeleQtions’ capital property — eighty-three rooms and suites on Gongzin Lam, one of Thimphu’s central roads, with Himalayan mountain views from the upper floors. The building’s design is structured around the Four Harmonious Friends, the Bhutanese parable of unity and interdependence, with each floor taking one element of the story as its design language.

The hotel has the full-service infrastructure of a large city property: the Zachum restaurant for traditional Bhutanese cuisine, an all-day dining room for broader fare, a Sky Garden Restaurant on the upper floors with panoramic city views, a state-of-the-art gym, indoor pool, and spa. For guests who want to be centrally placed in Thimphu with straightforward access to the capital’s key sites, the location and scale deliver.

Why we choose it

Yarkay Thimphu is one of the largest five-star properties in the capital and suits groups or guests who need the full range of city-hotel amenities — multiple dining options, a large pool, gym — alongside the Bhutanese design setting. The Sky Garden restaurant has some of the better views of Thimphu from a hotel dining room.
