1,916 Comments for The Pines Hotel

It was definitely an awesome pool. There were 2 diving boards, one low and the other about 4 feet up. There were pink and blue lights on the sides of the pool, below the waterline, that were used for "Midnight Swims", during which only some of the room lighting was used. I was a lifeguard here in the early 80's. Winter, with a newly fallen snow just outside the huge galss walls, was amazing as well. I remember teaching sr citizens to swim, some of which were concentration camp survivors. Listening to their stories was great. There there were the singles weekends, high school and college trips, which could get a little wild!!! The Pines was a truly unique experience, a part of my life I wouldn't trade for anything.

I HAVE SEEN A PIC OF THIS SAME TUBE WITH SOMONE IN IT

Hi Paul, not much to say yet, but I can tell you that the long time owner Manny Halbert who died in 2004 daughter Laurie has sold the hotel to Congregation Khal Bnie Zion Inc out of Brooklyn. But it is my understanding that there is a court battle going on with a businesswoman who has put a deposit down on the hotel B4 the sale. When I get more info I will let you know.

What about the Raleigh?

My guess is that the curtains were taken after the place closed. The plants were already dead.

do to the darker area in the tub it look like waters still in it kinda

wooh kool pic kinda creepy but none the less kool

I think this pic really sums up urban decay. Something so simple as a light switch made a million times more interesting by nothing more than time.

Sorry to post on something old I am new here and I just really like this shot.

Take out the graffitti...imagine the pool full of sparkling water...see me laying back on yellow chaise....This must have been awesome in it's day. It is still so bright!

Again..I don't understand..WHY leave the plants and take all the curtains?????? LOL

Now why would they remove all the curtains here, but leave all the lobby seating and the dining room intact? Doesn't make sense to me..

I'm back!!! Oh the Concord hotel!!! The former Concord Hotel will be demolish sometime next year. The developer will build a new Hotel to include 1,500 rooms and approximately 450,000 square feet of casino space with 200.000 square feet of convention center space. The club house and 42 guest rooms at the Monster Golf club will be demolish the end of September of this year. The new club house will have 200 rooms. The club house would include a 20,000 -square -foot spa. Yep there is more!!! Up to 3,000 residential units for year-round and seasonal single-family, multi-family and affordable housing are being proposed on the property totaling about 1,735 acres. Approximately 600 acres have been set aside for open space. Between 500,000 and 600,000 square feet of destination and other neighborhood retail and support services would be build on the property owned by >>>>>> stretching from existing hotel site down Concord Road to Route 42.Yes I will be up there soon with a meeting with the owners and yes I will take pictures.

This shot here really reminds me of a resturaunt in disney world. It is in tommorrow land and there is some robot alien things playing on the stage.

Any information or pictures from the Concord or Raleigh Hotels. I have great memories from both .

Actually, Dona reading your other comments you may have been just before my time there (I was there late 80's). It's funny to read how many different generations of Pines employees have all posted the exact same experiences though.
