The façade of Le Meridien Thimpu is designed keeping to the local context. It is covered in plaster. Plaster is used while bricking to strengthen the structure. In comparison to dry walls, plastered walls are stronger and more durable. It also aligns the brick in the process. Apart from being conducive to fostering a sustainable environment, it is non-toxic and unparalleled in quality.
The interiors of the hotel provide guests with the perfect delight to their artistic sensibilities with the regional art of Bhutan adorning the walls. A swimming pool offers a view of the city’s attractive landscape. Other amenities include a restaurant, a lounge bar, outdoor cafe, spa, a fully-equipped business centre and banquet facilities, all of which make Le Méridien Thimphu a compelling choice for both leisure and for hosting business meetings.
