Five years in the making, Zhiwa Ling Heritage is a tribute to the ornate architectural arts of Bhutan. Every part of the hotel is handmade, from the massive hand-carved wooden beams to the colourful, hand-painted ceilings and walls. Over sixty local artisans were employed to lovingly handcraft its exterior and interior design, envisioned by architect Peter Kampf.

The main building is built in the tradition of a Bhutanese Dzong (Fortress) with intricate carvings, paintings and antique Bhutanese textile collections. This traditional Bhutanese architecture and design flows throughout the property and also features in our junior suites, one-bedroom suites, and The Royal Raven Suite.

Zhiwa Ling Heritage is an exuberant celebration of the best of a 1,000-year-old culture combined with modern day innovations.

The Royal Raven Suite provides the ultimate Bhutanese experience. It is named in part to honour Uzha Jarog Dongchen – the Raven Crown of Bhutan, a symbol of Mahakala and protective deity of the first Zhabdrung.

Featuring two bedrooms, a large dining and sitting room, private porch, and private shrine room, the Royal Raven Suite is the perfect retreat for a wedding party or family celebrating a special occasion.

The shrine room is blessed by the trinity Goddess: the Namgyelma (Skt. Vijaya), the Tsepame (Skt. Amitayus) and the Delma (Skt. White Tara). Three deities as one, called upon for longevity, happiness and wealth.

Experience Paro Valley from the second floor of our main building. The Blue Poppy Suite and the Takin Suite both have charming views of the valley and hotel grounds. Each has a living room with private balcony and a spacious bedroom and bathroom with Swedish underfloor heating. With 157 square metres of space, this suite provides plenty of room for you to relax in. An adjoining Junior Suite, with a connecting door, can be booked on request to accommodate your family group with ease.

Enjoy splendid views of Paro Valley and surrounding mountains from our Magnolia and Drugyel suites. The suites are spread across eight different cottages linked to the main building by an attractive pathway. Each room is fitted with either a Californian king size bed or two comfortable Californian queen beds. All bathrooms have a full size bath tub with shower over and Swedish underfloor heating. A sitting area with leather sofas and a private balcony make these spacious rooms luxurious and private.

Or stay in the main building in one of our Juniper suites. Located on the second floor within easy reach of our in-house temple, each suite features a Californian king size bed and separate bath and shower in the bathroom. At 49 square metres, our Magnolia, Drugyel and Juniper junior suites are the largest standard rooms in Bhutan sellhouse-asis.
