All the international chains have set up shop in San Pedro Sula. In the city and elsewhere, you'll find a good network of smaller, less expensive lodgings with plenty of Honduran character. Accommodation in this part of the country is reasonably priced, even in the top-tier lodgings, even in tourist-heavy Copán Ruinas.
Although its sister property in Tegucigalpa gets high marks for being a chain property with Honduran touches, San Pedro's Clarion is a bit plain in comparison. You will find all the amenities a business traveler could desire here, and those are the guests who make up the bulk of the clientele. You're close to shopping and the nightlife of the Zona Viva.
Long considered one of the city's finest hotels, this high-rise is a favorite among corporate travelers. There are plenty of meeting rooms and a wide range of business services available. Many of the rooms look down on the Olympic-size pool. The panoramic views of the mountains from La Churrasquería and the steak house on the seventh floor are unforgettable. There are shops and even an art gallery where you can browse. The service is uneven, however, and the din that comes from the cocktail lounge at night doesn't promote a good night's sleep.
With a great location a few blocks from the central park, this elegant high-rise is among the city's best hotels. All rooms are comfortably furnished and set up for business travelers, so there are connections for your computer and plenty of telephones. For dining there's Antonio's, which serves typical Honduran cuisine, as well as a coffee shop that stays open until midnight. The staff is always ready to help you find your way around the city.
Although it caters predominantly to business executives, this European-style hotel has personalized service that makes it a good option for any traveler. There are plenty of amenities, from the sparkling pool to the gym. The restaurant is decorated in a stark style, whereas the bar more closely resembles an English pub. The concierge is great for tips on restaurants.
A 2007 renovation made this hotel the most luxurious lodging in the city. The public areas of the Real are simply grand, with marble and plants everywhere, giving this in-city hotel the vibe of a tropical resort. If you want to opt for true luxury, an executive floor tosses in such amenities as butler service and twice-daily pressings.
