Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) has expanded its footprint in Bhutan with the opening of Taj Paro Resort & Spa, strengthening its long-standing partnership with CG Hospitality Global.
Commenting on the opening, Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and CEO, IHCL, said the launch aligns with the company’s strategy to grow across the Indian subcontinent. He added that the opening further strengthens IHCL’s partnership with CG Hospitality Global, which has a presence across the Middle East, the Greater Himalayan region, and the Indian Ocean.
Located in Paro Valley, close to the Tiger’s Nest monastery, the 45-key Taj Paro Resort & Spa offers mountain-facing rooms overlooking the surrounding Himalayan landscape. The resort features the Paro Lounge & Bar, serving cocktails and Bhutanese wines, and Vista, an all-day dining restaurant offering regional and international cuisine with views of the monastery. Additional facilities include an indoor heated swimming pool, the J Wellness Circle spa, and a fitness centre.

With this opening, IHCL now has a presence in Thimphu and Paro, with plans to open a property in Phobjika.
