The colourful history of the Lone Pine dates back to 1948 when a lonely bungalow owned by the McKearn family was bought over by a group of Chinese with the intention of operating a hotel on Batu Ferringhi.On the land where the bungalow stood, was then a lone Casuarina tree, which was 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 Batu Ferringhi, and was a haven for expatriates and their families fleeing the severe winters of home.

Strategically located on Batu Ferringhi along the tourist belt of Penang, and within walking distance to restaurants, shopping outlets and Penang’s famous ‘Night Bazaar’, Lone Pine is 17 kms from Georgetown and 31 kms from Penang International Airport.

Relaxing activities include an afternoon laze in hammocks under the shade of the casuarinas trees, a casual stroll along the beautiful sandy beach, a refreshing dip in the swimming pool or even take advantage of the many water sports available along the stretch of the hotel’s beach front.

The beautifully restored Lone Pine Hotel is a wonderful escape for those who seek complete privacy amongst an idyllic setting. Having gone through phases of expansions through the years, today, the Lone Pine is an imposing 3 storey high building, thoughtfully spread out over 4 acres of landscaped gardens. This enchanting retreat boasts of 50 exclusive guestrooms, almost all of which face the sea, open out to a terrace, balcony or private patios.

Dining at Lone Pine Hotel is traditional yet features a contemporary twist boasting a tantalizing blend of local and international fare, with distinctive emphasis on Hainanese cuisine. The Bungalow is a homely restaurant with picturesque views of the pool and beach, serves daily breakfast and delightful lunch and dinner menus. The Deck Bar is a revitalizing alternative for al-fresco dining and so, enjoy thirst-quenchers and snacks menus as you laze about the pool.
