Evolution is a process immeasurable by time. Yet it is change that is all embracing. Khang Residency is the offshoot of the change rapidly transforming Bhutan.

An isolated Himalayan kingdom just four decades ago, Bhutan is today globally renowned for the pursuit of happiness. As the youngest democracy with Gross National Happiness as its development philosophy, this tiny kingdom is now the most sought-after travel destination.

To accommodate and absorb this overwhelming inflow of visitors, Khang Residency was conceived. The overriding philosophy of Khang Residency is to keep abreast with the change by embodying the essence of happiness and spreading it far and wide through its approach to convenience and service. It is about giving you the freedom to smile at all times, and expect no less in return. It is about being on a unique journey while at the same time feeling like you’ve never left home.

The approach to service at Khang Residency lies in the seamless comingling of traditional Bhutanese hospitality with modern-day comforts that make up the hallmark of any top notch hotel around the world. In Bhutan, the policy is not just about facilitating the inflow of more and more guests, but also ensuring the highest level of service. From its very inception Khang Residency has given priority to this aspect of service and lives up to the standards that the business demands from the finest hotels in the kingdom.

Service and other amenities are intended not only to meet the very best of expectations but to surpass it at any given opportunity. Towards the achievement of this goal, we welcome suggestions and recommendations from our valued guests to enable us to serve you better still.
