Hotel Poinisuk

Located in the vibrant Laitumkhrah area, Hotel Poinisuk is a highly-regarded 3-star boutique property that balances modern luxury with a distinct Meghalayan character. The hotel’s name, meaning “a new beginning” or “morning peace” in the local Khasi language, reflects its serene atmosphere despite being located in one of Shillong’s most popular neighborhoods. The architecture features a striking glass-and-stone facade, while the interiors are contemporary and spacious, offering rooms with large windows that provide sweeping views of the city hills. It is a favorite for travelers who want to avoid the intense congestion of Police Bazar while still being within walking distance of famous cafes, bakeries, and the Don Bosco Museum. Guests can dine at the in-house multi-cuisine restaurant or enjoy the rooftop area, which is particularly beautiful during sunset.
