The Pema by Realm

As soon as we enter the Aura is so Positive. Can feel flowing through the staff. They were very warm and welcoming. No wonder the standards are above 4star hotel category should be rated 5 star. It's truly a Gem of Bhutan tourism. The food is also very good.

We stayed at The Pema for our first 2 nights in Thimphu. And I must say it was the best hotel stay throughout our trip in Bhutan. Very nice welcome/greeting. Staff was very attentive and accommodating, even offered to open the Spa in the middle of the night when hot water delayed in our room. Very clean and nice views. The dinner from the Bistro and morning breakfast buffet were superb. Food taste and presentation are up to par to NYC restaurants’. The honey gift was clutch for my sore throat!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Pema by Realm in Bhutan, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Hands down it is my favorite hotel stay in the world…and I have been to many hotels around the world! From the moment we checked in, the hospitality and attention to detail were beyond anything I could have imagined. The staff greeted us with fresh squeezed juice and a traditional white scarf. They also carried all our bags to the room. The hotel manager Hem escorted us to our room and pointed out everything to us and shared all the special touches the room had including local made art, pottery and baskets. They also had a hand written personalized card and gift basket for us that truly showed how much they care for every person staying with them. We were celebrating my friend's birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it a special occasion. Not only did they beautifully decorate the room with balloons, and a birthday banner, but they also baked a delicious fresh fruit cake for her. It was delicious! This thoughtful gesture set the tone for an unforgettable stay. We stayed in a suite overlooking the valley. The room itself was spacious and immaculate, showcasing a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. The decor was a mix of modern and traditional Bhutanese art. It was spotlessly clean providing a serene sanctuary after our long days at our meditation retreat. The bed was very comfortable and the room had blackout drapes which made for a peaceful night sleep. We also got a pull out bed for a third friend and they gave us a topper for it that made it extra comfortable. When it was hot, they brought us a stand up cooling fan that made us feel even more comfortable. The bathroom was large and had a glass shower and the water pressure was amazing. We loved that the hotel had a sauna and steam room that was available 24/7 and we had several facials and massages at the spa during our stay. The massages were divine and helped soothe our tired muscles after hiking Tigers Nest! Definitely book a spa treatment while staying here! The food at The Pema was another highlight of our stay. Every meal was a culinary delight, with a variety of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. Some of our favorites were the pad Thai, hot and sour soup, Tom Kha soup, curries and of course all the baked goods. They have a bakery on site and the muffins were delicious! The quality and presentation of the food were also exceptional, and we found ourselves looking forward to each dining experience. We loved the dining room for breakfast and also the rooftop for dinners. The staff at The Pema were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready with a smile and eager to assist with any request. In the morning, the waiters remembered what we liked to drink and would have it brought to our table before we could even ask for it! The hotel manager, Hem, deserves a special mention. His warm and caring demeanor made us feel like we

This is an excellent boutique style hotel in Thimphu. The rooms are very spacious , well laid out and the bedding is excellent. The staff is very attentive. Breakfast is plentiful and well prepared. Overall I can highly recommend this hotel in Thimphu.

Excellent hotel ! Good and friendly staff, reception and services. Excellent food. Very comfortable, well located, nice rooftop, gym and sauna, Coffee shop and restaurant. For sure recommended for a nice stay at Bhutan capital city and surroundings.

This hotel shines due to the efficiency and professionalism of its staff. The room, a suite, was warm and inviting with a kitchenette, lounge and separate bedroom. The food in the restaurants all offer from the same menu which is yummy and satisfying, not to mention the pastry chef who bakes fresh breads and desserts daily. Breakfast was included and deeply enjoyed. This boutique hotel is a real find.
