Hotel MacArthur

Top choice in Tegucigalpa


This hotel has a strong Honduran flavor, with an inviting butter-yellow lobby full of old photographs of the city. Rooms are spotless, large, decorated in comforting warm hues and full of natural light. New beds and exposed brick wall details add a modern edge. Try to nab a terrace room overlooking the street. The pool is one of the capital's best.
