Important Information
Tourist Tariff on Applicable Reservations
For New Reservations
Per government law set by the Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB), a tourist tariff will be levied on guests from all countries except India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives. This tariff, which is not included in the hotel’s room rates, is valid throughout the year.
This mandatory tourist tariff can be arranged through the hotel’s partnered travel agency at the following discounted rates:
A booking for one guest: 180 USD per person per night
A booking for two guests: 175 USD per person per night
A booking for three or more guests: 170 USD per person per night
In addition, a one-time visa fee of 40 USD per person will also be levied.
The tourist tariff offered includes the following services and charges, which are handled by the hotel’s partnered travel agency:
Roundtrip airport transfer
Daily sightseeing with an English-speaking guide
All applicable government taxes
All museum and monument fees
For Canceling an Existing Reservation with a Paid Tourist Tariff
If a guest cancels a reservation after paying the hotel’s partnered travel agency for the tourist tariff, the agency will impose a cancellation penalty based on laws set by the Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB). This penalty amount is based on the tourist tariff rate set by the TCB—250 USD per day from March to May and from September to November, and 200 USD per day from June to August and from December to February—as the agency would need to deposit the prerequisite amount directly to the government body.
Per TCB laws, the following penalties are based on how much advance notice is given for a cancellation:
30 or more days before an arrival date: No charge
21 to 29 days before: 10% of total amount
14 to 20 days before: 15% of total amount
7 to 13 days before: 30% of total amount
Less than 7 days before, or without notice: 50% of total amount
No-show, or after arrival: 100% of total amountPayment before arrival by bank transfer is required. The property will contact you after you book to provide instructions.

Guest Reviews
- Ljiljana (10/5): absolutely amazing experience - excellent Himalayan coffee
- Bayan (6/5): Pleasant -
- Sergio (10/5): - The staff was very accommodating and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable during my stay.
- Christina (8/5): Always at your service - Bhutan is timeless journey and staying here at Le Meridien in the heart of Thimphu is wonderful. The staff are beyond gracious and kind and always at your service. From here you can walk around Thimphu and see and touch and feel the safety and enjoyment of a land where the people live as one family. I return here again and again and each time I am more and more impressed.
- Gordon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ishaan (10/5): Excellent hotel ! - Perfect and comfortable stay, with family including elderly parents and our toddler daughter. Hotel had all necessary facilities, good choice of food, great location and very very helpful staff. Using the Indoor heated swimming pool in the cold weather was the highlight ! Everything is great, price is a bit on the higher side though.
- Heidar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shiv (10/5): Well trained and ever smiling staff extended themselves in every way to make our stay comfortable - Breakfast was a good spread and the staff very hospitable . Nothing particularly .
- Damion (10/5): Excellent Service - Staff was all round exception from the restaurant to front desk to cleaning service.
- Preethi (10/5): - This is a great place, right in the downtown, very walkable from all the major streets. The rooms are great too. What makes this hotel really really great is the staff, though.
Our special thanks to Deki Yangden and Tashi Lhaden at the front desk for making us feel so welcome, to our housekeeper Sonam for the amazing gesture of arranging a foot soak for us, for the entire restaurant staff for the great service, especially Dampai Wangchuk, Deki, Chefs Sukraj and Sangay Bidha (her Thukpa is the best!) - last but not least to Chef Anurag - the food in the restaurant here is one of the best we’ve eaten.
We will definitely stay in Le Meridien when we visit Thimphu next.
- Memduh (10/5): - Exceptional staff. They made me feel truly at home. I am very grateful.
- Ree (10/5): - It’s lovely hotel with friendly staff and delicious food.
- Carol (10/5): great hotel and customer service - impressive hotel and superb customer service, the staff are really impressive with greeting you by name each day. spa massage & pool are wonderful
- Verified traveler (8/5): A returning customer at the Le Meridien - I stayed at Le Meridien Thimphu since it first opened and this is my 4th time at the same hotel.
I returned as I was always impressed with its service, food, location and its ambience. I requested for a room to be bright and nearer elevator which was granted.
However, this time I was a little disappointed with some minor issues ... the service was a little lacking in terms of replenishing the toiletries and the food is not as good as before. The bathroom needs a little sprucing up. However I was still happy with the overall experience and hope the next time when I return it will be back to its old days when it first opened.
- Michele (8/5): Good hotel - Service was very good and accommodating
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel, very friendly staff - Very friendly staff, really eager to serve. Good food, nice facility, and overall great stay!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Well located
The staff was friendly and helpful
The gym and swimming pool are great
Breakfast buffet overlooking a garden and staff very attentive
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great location, good Indian food :-) - The hotel is located in the city and is convenient to access. At the same time, it is quiet and has it's own charm. The food, particularly the Indian food in the multi-cuisine restaurant, was superb!
- Bikram (10/5): Amazing hospitality and a wonderful stay - A amazing hotel in the heart of the Timphu. Very pleasing and helpful staff. The Sunday brunch was amazing.
