Tegucigalpa Marriott Hotel
OK, so it's a chain, but the service doesn't get any slicker nor more personalised than at Tegucigalpa's...

Pricey, but worth it.
Slightly cheap, but not worth the price of admission.
One of the few ‘boutique’ hotels in the country, the Portal del Angel is upscale and classy. Rooms can get a bit dowdy, with gold accents everywhere, and the bathrooms are in bad need of renovation.
The rooms smell a bit funky and the beds slope down at odd angles, but it at least feels secure. The shared bathrooms are clean and there’s always hot water.
This classy hotel has rooms with a cozy chalet–like look; junior suites have king-size beds and better bathrooms. All rooms have a great little terrace; definitely ask for one with a city view.
The InterContinental is Tegucigalpa’s top hotel and popular with upscale tourists, businesspeople, visiting diplomats and politicians. The huge air-cooled lobby is a study of marble and muted tones.
This is the nicest hotel in Palmira. The lobby is amazing in a ‘world-weary business traveler getting wasted at the hotel bar’ sort of way, as are the giant pool and nice grounds.
Half a block south of Iglesia Los Dolores and somewhat hidden by the market stalls out front, the Iberia is an excellent budget deal, and has some of the cleanest shared bathrooms in town.
At last - a rare hotel in the Honduran capital that gives reviewers a chance to gush. It's a triumph for good taste, both in the well-appointed guest rooms and long-stay apartments, all set in a quiet residential neighbourhood.
A spectacularly modern entrance with gleaming floors and high ceilings greets you at this nice downtown spot. Wander down the lobby a bit and you’ll bump into a glorious pool with crystal-clear water, lounge chairs and shaded tables.
If it weren’t for the safe and scenic location, we’d probably not list this hotel here. The service was rude when we visited and the rooms are simple.
A B&B that feels more like a hotel with free breakfast. The rooms are fine and clean – with in-room phones, water coolers and cable TV – but are relatively charmless. It’s in a good location, however, which means a lot in this town.
An eleven-room B&B located among several high rise hotels.
This is one good option in the Comayaguela area. We love the security here, and the smallish rooms are well scrubbed. It’s a little pricey for the area, though reasonable for what you get.
Run by a super-friendly English-speaking family, this brand new hostel has four spacious rooms with bunks and Guatemalan bedspreads, clean shared bathrooms, large lockers, common room with cable TV and internet access, laundry service, luggage st.
Opened in 2005, the Hotel Unión offers cramped but clean rooms with gleaming tile floors, pine wood furnishings and cable TV. All have private bathrooms, though only some have hot water.
The ‘New Boston’ is slightly better on the inside than the outside, with well-kept rooms, high ceilings and squeaky-clean bathrooms. Two large and airy common rooms have couches, rocking chairs and TVs for guests to use.
This is the Fort Knox of Comayagüela: guests have to greet a shotgun-toting security guard, get through two secured doors and shout to the receptionist through a thick plexi-glass window to get into the place.
Despite saggy beds and brusque service, the San Pedro remains popular with budget travelers – though with locks that barely lock, security may be an issue here. Rooms are relatively clean despite the dirt-cheap prices.
Go beyond a lurid reception facelift for recently renovated rooms and executive apartments that are much more restrained (thankfully). They're also bank-balance-friendly, and in easy reach of a string of shopping malls, restaurants and clubs.
Comfortable but plain, this is the best of a group of three large, 1970s-style hotels; most of the 48 rooms have nicely renovated bathrooms, TV and in-room telephone.
This cozy, well-run B&B is small – just six rooms – which means it can be hard to get a reservation, though definitely worth trying.
This place is very clean with small bathrooms and comfy beds – a good choice if every lempira counts.
The rooms are quite neglected and gloomy.
The sole upscale option in downtown Tegucigalpa, this is the only central place where they will have heard of semi-orthopedic beds and hypo-allergenic sheets. The posh interior has some drab pockets, although mostly out of sight of guests.
This is a charming B&B, where the little details up the rate: luxurious linens, matching furniture sets, quality artesanía (handicraft) on the walls, wireless internet, and a garden dining area where complimentary breakfast is served.
Diplomats will tell you the art of international relations is no fly-by-night operation - hence this sleek but accommodating outfit, catering to frequent and long-term visitors to the heart of Tegucigalpa's swish embassy district.
