History
Six Senses Paro opened in October 2018 as part of Six Senses Bhutan, a collection of five lodges strung across the kingdom's western and central valleys as a single 'Khamsa' journey. The Paro lodge, known as 'Stone Ruins,' is built within 12th-century farmhouse ruins directly above the National Museum of Bhutan, overlooking the Paro Valley, and serves as a convenient base for the climb to Taktsang, the Tiger's Nest Monastery.
Designed by Habita Architects, the lodge offers 16 suites plus one-, two- and three-bedroom villas, with hand-chiseled stonework, timber interiors and traditional bukhari wood stoves. Founded under Sonu Shivdasani's Six Senses in partnership with Dasho Sangay Wangchuck, the brand became part of IHG in 2019.
