Hotel Marina Copan
The hotel has been at the heart of the Copan experience since 1945. Overlooking the Central Plaza in the charming town of Copan Ruinas, Honduras, the Marina Copan Hotel was named in honor of Do?a Marina Welchez, and built on the site of her family home nearly 60 years ago. A Copan tradition, the original Marina Copan Hotel has been home to generations of Maya investigators and enthusiasts.
Today, a modern hotel that jealously guards the town?s colonial architectural heritage, the Marina Copan is the most comfortable and convenient base for exploring the fascinating Maya World, as well as the diverse natural landscape, that the ancient ones left behind.
The hotel has 49 rooms and suites, a recreation area with pool, Jacuzzi, indoor garden, gym, sauna and massage room, restaurant, bar, meeting room, Portrait room, gift shop, coffee shop, and secured private parking.
Stay in one of the standard rooms or executive suites that can accommodate singles, doubles, and triples. Rooms are equipped with hot and cold water, air-conditioning, telephone, internet, and cable.
