Amankora, Paro

With views that take in the 17th century Drukyel Dzong (monastery) and soar to the 7,300m high, snow-capped Jhomolhari peak, Amankora Paro is a dramatic introduction to Bhutan. Twenty four stylish suites are built in clusters of four with rammed earth walls, wooden panelled interiors, traditional wood-burning bukhari (stoves) and large terrazzo-clad baths. The dining room has four large tables seating eight and guests are encouraged to eat together. The menu is internationally influenced with salads and vegetables grown organically in the hotels gardens.
