Penang Hotels | Lone Pine Hotel Penang

Penang Hotels Review | Lone Pine Hotel Penang

The beautifully restored Lone Pine Hotel is a wonderful retreat for those who seek privacy amongst an idyllic setting.

Established since 1948, this delightful sanctuary was the first hotel on Batu Ferringhi beach, and today retains much of its old world charm, a wonderful hideaway to escape to from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The Lone Pine is the only boutique hotel along the coastline, with most of its 50 guestrooms facing the sea and shaded by a veil of lofty casuarina trees.

Famous for its view of the sunset, it remains a perennial favourite for locals and visitors alike.

Lone Pine Hotel Penang | History

The colourful history of the Lone Pine dates back to 1948 when a solitary bungalow owned by the McKearn family was bought over by a group of Chinese with the intention of operating a family-run hotel on Batu Ferringhi.

On the land where the bungalow stood, was then a lone Casuarina tree, which was mistakenly thought to be a pine tree, hence the hotel's name 'Lone Pine'.

With only 10 rooms, the Lone Pine Hotel was the first hotel on the picturesque beach of Batu Ferringhi. The guests then were mainly British residents in Malaysia and sailors during their port calls. Lone Pine was also a haven for expatriates and their families fleeing the severe winters of home.

For over half a century, it has been a sanctuary of warm hospitality and comfort for visitors, both foreign and local. In July 1998, Lone Pine was closed for renovation and refurbishment and reopened in March 1999.

Its refurbishment was an exercise in old-fashioned subtlety – some rooms were fitted with authentic antique lamps, dressing tables and closets, which were originally from our heritage E&O Hotel in Georgetown.

Lone Pine Hotel Penang | GuestRooms

Having gone through phases of expansion through the years, Lone Pine today is a 3 storey building, boasting 50 exclusive guestrooms. Almost all rooms face the sea and open out to a terrace, balcony or private courtyard, bringing the refreshing sea breeze into every room.

Guest rooms are attentively furnished with families, couples as well as the solitary traveller in mind. Each room promises luxurious space and coziness, with modern amenities such as air-conditioning, hot water, refrigerators and cable television.

Lone Pine Hotel Penang | Dining

The Bungalow

All day dining is available at The Bungalow, a homely restaurant with picturesque views of the swimming pool and beach. The daily breakfast, lunch and dinner menus should satisfy every craving.

Whether you are looking for a romantic sunset dinner, a family get-together or a private BBQ in the garden, The Bungalow is the perfect choice.

While Hainanese cooking is the favourite at the Lone Pine, the chefs have creatively infused some delicious Hainanese dishes with a touch of local Malaysian flavour.

A must try would be “The Bungalow Duet”, where half a dozen mouth-watering Batu Maung satays are served with delicious deep-fried Hainanese Spring Rolls and accompanied by the traditional spicy sour sauce and condiments.

Or start off with “The Bungalow’s Soupe A-la Fins”, which is a combination of shark fins, crab meat, shredded chicken and mushroom in a thickened soup served with pickled green chillies and bean sprouts.

Operating hours are from 7:00 am to 10:30 pm (Daily)

The Bungalow has introduced its 1st floor section to the delight of appreciative patrons. The cordial interior furnished with simple yet tasteful artifacts exudes warmth, in an enchanting old fashion way. The evening becomes even more pleasurable as you dine on our supreme selection of Hainanese cuisine.

Operating hours are from 6.30 pm to 10.30 pm (Daily)

Lone Pine Hotel Penang | Facilities

The Lone Pine is a boutique hotel which offers peace and serenity in the privacy of the hotel’s beach front or for the more adventurous, a variety of sea sports is just a step away.

Take a parasail around the bay to see the beach from a very different perspective, or jet ski to the next cove and take a dip.

In the evening, hotel guests can stroll along the beach and watch the stars or unwind with a drink at the Bungalow.

For the bargain hunter, simply step out and wander through the night bazaar and see what treasures you can find!

Whether you prefer quiet or action, the Lone Pine provides the best of both worlds.
