In the geometry of hyperbolic 4-space, the 120-cell honeycomb is one of five compact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs). With Schläfli symbol {5,3,3,3}, it has three 120-cells around each face. Its dual is the order-5 5-cell honeycomb, {3,3,3,5}.

Related honeycombs

It is related to the order-4 120-cell honeycomb, {5,3,3,4}, and order-5 120-cell honeycomb, {5,3,3,5}.

It is topologically similar to the finite 5-cube, {4,3,3,3}, and 5-simplex, {3,3,3,3}.

It is analogous to the 120-cell, {5,3,3}, and dodecahedron, {5,3}.
