Where to Base
Base in elevated communes like Pétion-Ville or Tabarre, away from coastal slums and high-violence zones. Select hotels with fortified perimeters, armed guards, and secure compounds. Avoid Delmas and Cité Soleil due to instability.
City hotel guide
Port-au-Prince
Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, sits on the Gulf of Gonâve with an amphitheater-like layout: commercial districts near the water, residential areas on hills. Devastated by the 2010 earthquake, the city has faced severe gang violence since 2020, with frequent kidnappings and attacks, often involving state actors. The metropolitan area houses nearly a third of Haiti's population. For hotel travelers, safety is the paramount concern. Stay in fortified compounds, avoid night movement, and exercise extreme caution. This is not a leisure destination.
