This hotel used to be a royal palace and was truly charming. Several buildings, all with lots of history. Food was good and the bar was very welcoming in the afternoons. The family altar was truly spectacular.

As the name suggests this place as once a real palace used by the royal family members. Now converted to a hotel the place is a real gem. Located on a hill so you can have a great view over Paro. The staff are really friendly, they warmed our bed every evening with hot bottles so when you go to... More

First of all, as the name suggests, it is truly a palace. Its architecture is pure bhutanese style, yet they have combined traditional and contemporary aesthetics with imagination and élan. Its exquisite open to sky courtyard, sprawling garden with brilliant colour flowers, tastefully decorated dining room and lots of sitting areas around the property harmonising perfectly with the spectacular classic...

We stayed at Gangtey Palace for three nights before going on a Jhomolhari trek and thought it was wonderful. We had a rather basic room (but still comfortable), but there were clearly much bigger and more interesting rooms available.

If you are looking to experience a real Bhutanese palace then this is the place to go. Our room was amazing, very "traditional", full of character and clean. The restaurant... More

The front porch/veranda overlooking over the stunning valley is a great place to chill out, read a book or enjoy a drink. This place has a pretty cool bar too -- feels like... More

We stayed for just one night before we left Paro on the Jomolhari trek. We were initially put in a twin room around the back of the main hotel which was dark and a bit dismal, it was clear that we weren't too happy, and we were quickly ushered to 'the best room in the hotel' , the Governor's bedroom,...

The staff is co-operative and always ready to help. The heating facility is a bit in adequate for month like December. The room in which we stayed was a bit... More
