Mopan Hotel

Hotel Mopan is located on the oldest street in Belize City, formerly known as front street.

Resort

We are in the heart of downtown Belize City one block away from the sea. Also nearby are some historical venues to visit, water taxis, bus terminals, shops and a couple restaurants.

Hotel Mopan was opened in May of 1973 by Jean U Shaw nee Weir J.P., M.B.E. and her husband Thomas Shaw. Jean was a Belizean born entrepeneur who would later become a pioneer in the Tourism Industry.  In early 2000, my brother and I accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Belize Tourism Board on her behalf. Her efforts were also honored by her being the recipient of the title of M.B.E. (Member of the British Empire) from the Queen of England. A title she was very proud of.  Our mom left us the biggest job of having to fill her shoes - not to mention learning how to live without her. There is so much history to our mom, that we could build a whole web site on her alone... We want you to know about her because when you come and visit us, we want you to appreciate the history behind our Hotel... the years that have been put into its presence and the work that continues to be put here...

We like to think of Hotel Mopan as a home away from home for our guests. Actually, some guests get so comfortable, they can sometimes be seen BEHIND the bar instead of around it! :-)
