Gangtey Lodge is a traditional stone farmhouse style hotel, set at the head of the beautiful long Gangtey valley in Western Bhutan. Situated on a pine wooded ridge, the double-height lobby-lounge with an entire wall of glass frames the 17th-century Gangtey monastery and the valley beyond, speckled with rice paddies and grazing yaks. Envisioned by Brett and Omar Melzer who run 'Balloons over Bagan', they have brought their successful model into this beautiful valley in Bhutan.
Designed by an award-winning architect Mary Lou Thomson it was conceived as a luxurious Bhutanese farmhouse. With just 12 guest rooms, guests at Gangtey Lodge are cocooned in a palette of warm reds and yellows with stone, wood and fireplaces all featuring prominently. Mary has elegantly used textures, patterns and shapes of Bhutan, creating a style that is uniquely Bhutanese but strikingly fresh and contemporary.
The guest rooms and public spaces at the Gangtey Lodge, have been carefully designed to position windows and columns so as to frame the Gangtey Valley. Inside, it houses a stunning collection of hand-crafted artefacts and traditional motifs to create a feeling of staying in a grand local house. Although situated close to Amankora, it differs in its ambience of providing a more authentic décor and style. The result is exclusive luxury in one of the most beautiful and remote valleys of Bhutan.
