and casual bar with live music.
�Opening an Inter-Continental in Tegucigalpa - one of Central America�s
key business centers - is crucial to our overall expansion plans in the
area,� says Arasi. �We now have an Inter-Continental open, or soon-to-open,
in every major Central American capital, giving Bass Hotels Resorts the
