Guancascos Hotel & Restaurant

We are the first hotel in Honduras with an international certificate* in sustainable tourism that guarantees we operate responsibly towards our guests, employees, community, and environment. (www.smartvoyagercertified.com) Guancascos first opened in 1993, and since then we have been shaping and landscaping the hillside below the Castillo San Cristobal into a fine, authentic hotel and restaurant. We have long been intrigued by the history, culture, and mountainous areas around this small, historical town in the West of Honduras, and we are eager to share our passion with you. Our 17 rooms are comfortably arranged on a former coffee farm on the hillside of the Castle. Some rooms offer a spectacular view over the town, while others look into our lush gardens. All rooms have hot water, TV, and a front terrace with a hammock. The restaurant provides a relaxing atmosphere and a great view of Gracias. We are well known for our brownies, chicken rolls, fruit juices, and homemade bread. We run a tourist information office and we offer free WiFi as well. Guancascos is where travelers meet and a great place to organize your tours and adventures while in Gracias. We provide the link between the local rural community and the responsible tourist.
