The News From Honduras
I’ve just arrived in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and will spend the next 4 days traveling the north coast and bay islands of this country.
While I haven’t been here long enough to get much of an impression, I have already had a chat with Real InterContinental General Manager Jesus Gonzalez, who tells me that business is very good right now.
The 149-room property will end June at 98% occupancy for the month, he says, noting that the closing of the Tegucigalpa (the Honduran capital) airport is sending a lot of people to San Pedro Sula (the airport is closed following a late-May crash of a Miami-bound flight).
The hotel’s average rate is US$139, up from US$112 last year, and junior suites fetch a rate of US$300. More than half of the property’s rooms are sold to American business executives.
The other news is that the hotel, owned by Real Hotels & Resorts, will soon begin a 10-month renovation project, encompassing all guestrooms and a complete re-do of the lobby bar.
Stay tuned throughout this week for additional news bites and updates about the hotel investment & development climate here in Honduras.
