Pearl Continental Hotel
Bhurban, Pakistan
About
I have the chance to stay at this hotel at least twice a year, mostly during business conferences. This is a biggish hotel with a 190 rooms including 10 suites/duplexes, 1 Royal and 1 Presidential Suite. The good points: The hotel is located in an area with an abundance of natural beauty i.e. hiking trails, mountain views etc. The hotel has a pool, health club, bowling alley, a golf club nearby plus stunning views. The staff is friendly and the service reasonable. The not so good points: The food options are limited and the food itself is adequate but nothing to write home about. The hotel guests are a mixture of honeymooners and business people on conferences. If you get the former during your stay, then you are in luck. The hotel is around 2 hours drive from Islamabad and you need to rent a car or arrange for the hotel to transport you. You can easily stay in the hotel and walk around the surrounding trails but if you need to visit murree then you would definitely want to rent a car. For honeymooners or couples, would definitely recommend this getaway.
