By: Caribbean Journal Staff - July 21, 2017 - 5:42 pm

The fast-growing Courtyard by Marriott brand is expanding again in the Caribbean Basin, with a new Courtyard slated to debut in San Pedro Sula, Honduras next year.

The news follows similar Courtyard debuts in Caribbean cities including Kralendijk, Bonaire, Nassau and a planned Aruba location.

The Courtyard by Marriott San Pedro Sula will be located in the central Rio de Piedras neighborhood, a short trip to the Ramon Villeda Morales International Airport.

It’s the latest big-brand investment for Honduras, which recently announced a planned Hilton Garden Inn in the country.
