Pearl Continental Hotel Muzaffarabad  

High in the mountains of Muzaffarabad, this 4-star mountain hotel sits about 3 km from the city center and just minutes from Nelum Stadium, the University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and the historic Red Fort — a family-friendly base for exploring the region.

Rooms are air-conditioned and simple-chic with minibars, LCD TVs, safes and work desks; many have private bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, and some include bathrobes and slippers. Public areas open onto a terrace and garden, so expect crisp mountain mornings and a relaxed, slightly upscale vibe.

Stay active in the fitness center, stroll the garden and terrace, or fire up the barbecue and picnic areas; on-site playrooms keep kids busy. Complimentary wireless internet, concierge services, tour desk and on-site parking make logistics easy, plus there’s laundry/dry cleaning, an ATM and car rental assistance.

A business center and conference/meeting and presentation facilities are available, supported by complimentary wireless internet and a 24-hour front desk for event logistics.

Three on-site restaurants include Marco Polo, serving Pakistani cuisine and regional flavors, plus a coffee shop/café and bar/lounge for snacks and drinks. 24-hour room service is offered and a complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM.
