The Pema by Realm

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

Highly recommend this hotel for their excellent service and hospitality. The hotel room is clean and they provide a nice breakfast. Staff are very friendly and approachable, really attentive when service is needed 👍👍👍. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at The Pema :)

A touch of luxury arriving in Bhutan! Lovely large room with courtesy fruit and treats and everything required to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. There is a spa in the basement, which I didn't have time to use, but I particularly loved the rooftop terrace area with bar and snack facilities open to the sunshine. I ate in the bistro cafe rather than the dining hall - small, friendly and quirky with a good menu choice for myself, a vegetarian, and a relaxing place to take breakfast with an outside area. I would certainly recommend to fellow travellers to Thimpu.

The hospitality shown at The Pema was one of the highlights of my trip to Bhutan. The room was spacious and comfortable, all facilities in perfect condition, staff was kind and went the extra mile to be helpful. I thank all staff, esp. Thsering, Hem, Melan, Mangal for being so thoughful of my special day.

I would recommend this hotel to any travelled. Pema hotel is conveniently located, with clean and cozy rooms. The food looks and tastes great. The laundry service is prompt and professional. The best part is the service standards of the staff. Serene and Tshering (to name a couple) made me feel welcome with their warm, polite and efficient service. Hats off to all the staff of the hotel for a great job!

I recently stayed at this hotel for the first time. It is in a beautiful and convenient location. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. The food was fantastic. There's also a small bistro next to the hotel that's worth mentioning. Their desserts especially were great. The hotel management does an excellent job, making sure all their guests have a great experience! Keep this hotel in mind for your next trip to Bhutan.

Loved the hotel and attention from Melam and her colleague. I arrived and got dressed by them in the beautiful dress of Buthan. Amazing experience. The food from the restaurant was fantastic. I had a great time and wish to bring family next time.

Amazing experience at Hotel Pema by Realm. Rooms, maintenance, cleanliness, hotel staff, food, hospitality everything is top notch! Mr. Hem Mongar is soooo humble and supportive. I would recommend this Hotel to everyone. I would love to come again to this place. Everything exceeded my expectations from this Hotel. Thank you Pema by Realm team for making my trip soooo memorable.

The immaculate, well-appointed suite room, with Mountain view, provided a restful retreat. The staff's dedication to ensuring a perfect stay was evident in their helpful recommendations and efficient assistance
