Set at the heart of Gyantze in western Tibet, the simple yet comfortable Gyantze Hotel is the perfect base for exploring this historic town, set on an ancient trade route between India and Tibet.
Within walking distance of Gyantse Dzong and the Pelkor Chode Monastery
Built in 1986, the Gyantze Hotel has been offering a comfortable place to stay for visitors to this historic town for over 30 years. With a prime position in the town, you are within walking distance of some of the fascinating sights of Gyantze, including the mighty Gyantse Dzong fortress. Rooms are simple, decorated in either the western or Tibetan style, with the latter boasting colourful fabrics and brightly painted murals on the walls. The hotel’s 3 restaurants serve dishes from Tibet, China and Nepal, allowing you to sample flavours from across the Himalayas. There is also an on-site coffee shop to relax in after a day of exploration, perhaps visiting the Buddhist stupa of Gyantze Kumbum that resides next to the 15th century Palcho Monastery.
