Copán Ruinas is a village in western Honduras, across the border from Guatemala, and Terramaya puts the archaeological park 1 km from it. Terramaya, La Casa de Café and Hotel Marina Copán are in the village; Hacienda San Lucas sits 1.5 km southeast in the hills above the valley.
In short: Hotel Marina Copán is the only one of the four that prints a per-night price beside its rooms (all but the Family Suite). Terramaya prints a three-step rate list with 19% taxes added and breakfast included. La Casa de Café includes breakfast too but prints no rate. Hacienda San Lucas has 8 rooms for 20 guests and no published rate. Terramaya and La Casa de Café share owners. All four sites were read 10 November 2026.
Guatemala Transportation’s shuttles to Copán leave Antigua at 03:30am and Guatemala City at 04:15am, and return from Copán at 6:00am. Fares, the El Florido border crossing and the bus alternative are on Guatemala to Copán Ruinas. This page is about the night or two in between.
Four hotels side by side

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hotel Marina Copán | Av. Centroamérica, Calle 18 Conejo, Copán Ruinas | 49 accommodations (rooms page description) | Not stated | Per-night price beside every room except the Family Suite |

The two hotels that print prices use a $ sign without naming the currency; neither prints a price in lempiras.
Hotel Marina Copán: a price beside most rooms
Marina Copán says it was founded in 1948 to house the scholars and archaeologists then coming to study the ruins. Its rooms page shows the following per-night prices, read 10 November 2026. Some carry the words Starting from and some do not; the table keeps that difference.
| Room as named | Size printed | Beds | Price printed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colonial Three-Bed Room | ≈ 32 m² | 3 | Starting from $124 per night |
| Tower Two-Bed Room | ≈ 32 m² | 2 | $125 per night |
| Premium Two-Bed | ≈ 43 m² | 2 | Starting from $150 per night |
| Colonial Two-Bed Room | ≈ 31 m² | 2 | $162 per night |
| Honeymoon Suite | ≈ 54 m² | 1 | Starting from $162 per night |
| Presidential Suite | ≈ 96 m² | 1 | $162 per night |
| Premium Original Two-Bed | ≈ 34 m² | 2 | $173 per night |
| Premium Original One-Bed | ≈ 36 m² | 1 | Starting from $200 per night |
| Premium One-Bed | ≈ 37 m² | 1 | Starting from $200 per night |
| Executive Suite | ≈ 68 m² | 2 | Starting from $200 per night |
| Family Suite | ≈ 55 m² | 2 (queen, full and a futon; sleeps four) | No price shown |
The rooms page itself carries a 2025 copyright, so ask for a current quote for your dates. The descriptions add detail that matters for families: the Colonial Three-Bed Room has two queen beds and one full bed, and the Executive Suite has two queen beds on the third floor. The Presidential Suite, at the same $162 as a Colonial Two-Bed, has room for four people by the hotel’s description. The homepage offers a long-stay discount through its reservations staff and lists Welchez Cafe as open daily from 6:30am to 9:30pm.
Terramaya: six rooms and a three-step rate list
Terramaya describes six rooms on what it calls the town’s most picturesque street. The rooms differ more than the rate list does:
- Rooms 1 and 2, first floor: one full bed and a private garden with a hammock.
- Rooms 3 and 4, second floor: one queen bed and a private balcony with a village view; an extra single bed can be added.
- Room 5, second floor: one queen bed and a terrace with a hammock overlooking the garden and the archaeological park.
- Room 6, second floor: one queen bed, a single sofa bed, a jetted tub and a terrace with a view of the park and the valley.
All rooms have air conditioning, a ceiling fan and a safe box, with free wireless internet. The rate list reads Single $85, $95, $105; Double $95, $105, $115; Triple $105, $115, $125; Add 19% taxes. The page does not say which room each step belongs to, and its copyright line is dated 2017, so confirm the price for the specific room number you want.
La Casa de Café: breakfast included, rate on request
La Casa de Café calls itself Copán’s first bed and breakfast inn, open since 1995. It has 10 rooms in two wings, 8 of them with air conditioning, each with a private hot-water bathroom, a ceiling fan and a large window toward the Copán River valley. If you need air conditioning, say so when booking, since two rooms do not have it.
Its site says the inn is staffed 24 hours a day by an on-site owner or manager. That is relevant for an arrival after a 03:30am departure, but it is not a promise of early check-in. Breakfast and unlimited coffee and tea are in the rate. The inn shares its owners, WhatsApp number and email with Terramaya, so one message can ask about both.
Hacienda San Lucas: out of town, above the valley
Hacienda San Lucas describes a 100-year-old family property, converted into an eco-lodge in 2000, on 300 acres of forest above the Copán valley and looking down on the ruins. It has 8 rooms built of adobe for up to 20 guests, in single, double and triple types, with air conditioning, hot water and free WiFi, plus a pool, a jacuzzi and parking.
It places itself 1.5 km southeast of Copán Ruinas, 5 to 10 minutes from the centre. Two guest reviews displayed on its own homepage mention the access road: one from November 2023 advises a 4x4, and one from September 2023 describes a dirt road in fair-to-poor condition with no signs. Arrange the transfer from the shuttle drop-off when you book. Reservations and questions go to (+504) 9878-9871, Monday to Sunday, 8.00 AM to 9.00 PM.
Planning the last night
The 6:00am return shuttle sets the timing of your final morning. Marina Copán’s café hours start half an hour after that departure, and neither breakfast-included inn states a breakfast hour on its page. Ask for breakfast timing when you book. If you stay a second night, the hot springs outside town are covered on Luna Jaguar hot springs near Copán.
