As old as its pine trees, the 100-yr-old Pinewood Hotel is the oldest hotel in the state and one of the oldest in the country. It is indeed a heritage property!

Nestled amidst the pristine green surroundings across 8 acres of land, Pinewood Hotel is situated on a hillock, close to the picturesque Ward’s Lake.

The name Pinewood has a unique and calm sensation to it – our minds are instantly redirected to the tall pine trees that have stood the test of time and the century-old structure that portrays the hospitality and homely nature of the people of the state.

Many renowned personalities from across the country and abroad have walked its ground.
