Toussaint Louverture International Airport: where to stay, areas and…

Toussaint Louverture airport is in Tabarre, about 2.5 km from the centre of Port-au-Prince, but since late 2024 most of the capital has been under the control of armed groups, and the US State Department maintains a Level 4 "do not travel" advisory for Haiti: between January 2025 and March 2026 the violence caused over 8,200 deaths, with a state of emergency in three departments of the country. Under these conditions, moving around the city is not advisable without a private transfer arranged in advance directly with the property, never with a taxi hailed on the street, and avoiding travel after sunset in any case. The hotel offer that can be verified today is very limited: only a handful of properties remain, concentrated in Tabarre and Delmas, the areas closest to the airport and among the most guarded in the capital.

Pros
