Phobjikha Valley, Bhutan (September 5, 2024): Set in the idyllic Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, Gangtey Lodge will be appearing on the sixth series of the popular BBC Studios documentary Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby. The multi-award-winning Gangtey Lodge offers the perfect blend of luxury, nature, culture, and spiritual enlightenment through its regenerative and sustainable practices. This series includes the widest variety and most eclectic mix of hotels the show has ever featured across its six seasons, with yet more incredible access. While it celebrates the best of what it finds in each location, Rob Rinder and Monica Galetti are unafraid to ask questions that reveal the decisions and visions that guests take for granted and question them where necessary – from design to environmental footprint.

​

The program is known for taking a rarely glimpsed, behind-the-scenes look at some of the world’s most extraordinary hotels. Few tourists get to visit the remote valleys of Bhutan’s Himalayas. The sixth episode of the latest series will see presenters Monica Galetti and Rob Rinder join the team at Gangtey Lodge. Here Rob and Monica discover the 12-room Gangtey Lodge, which invites guests to become part of the local community and to experience the life of the neighboring Buddhist Monasteries. They get to know the local Bhutanese staff, all trained on-site, helping with traditional hot stone baths, archery sessions, and breakfasts in unlikely locations.
