The Lone Pine is one of the most iconic landmarks in Batu Ferringhi, Penang. As the first hotel in the vicinity to open in 1948, the heritage building that was once the residence of Dr. Albert Stanley McKern welcomes guests to indulge in its culture and hospitality especially with its latest refurbishments by the Blu Water design team. The latest additions to its 90 rooms include a Multi Event Hall as well as two new F&B spaces — The Bungalow and the Beach Bar. The Multi Event Hall doubles as a versatile communal ground and a vibrant co-working space. Symmetry runs through the refreshed spaces, running from floor to ceiling. The main restaurant carries a colonial spirit, with a unique apothecary bent for a personal narrative of its former resident. The dining space extends to the outdoors where the serene beach acts as the perfect backdrop. Adjacent, the Beach Bar stands out with its geometric motifs. If it’s been a while since your last visit, Lone Pine now offers an immersive threshold into its storied history and a spirit of place that continues to live on through the genuine hospitality of ‘the good doctor’.
