Stunning boutique hotel with breathtaking views
As Guatemala's first Relais & Chateaux establishment, Casa Palopó stands as a sanctuary of luxury overlooking beautiful Lake Atitlan, a scenic three-hour drive from Antigua.
This boutique retreat, comprising 15 exquisite rooms, offers a prime location to immerse oneself in the natural splendour of Lake Atitlan and the rich Maya culture of its surroundings, with breathtaking views.
Originally a cherished family abode, the main building houses six original suites, each a vibrant tableau reminiscent of a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel. Adorned with locally curated artwork and vibrant hues, these suites exude authentic Guatemalan charm.
Six additional suites, overlooking the lush greenery from the hotel's pool deck, offer a more contemporary design while retaining the warmth and texture characteristic of Guatemalan design. Nestled 150 steps above the main building, Villa Palopó presents three spacious suites adorned with modern art and textiles, ideal for groups seeking exclusivity and luxury, complete with a private infinity pool.
At 6.8 Palopó Restaurant, guests can savour a culinary journey blending Guatemalan flavours with international flair, sourced from local farms around the lake. The restaurant's cosy interiors and open terrace afford stunning lake vistas, setting the stage for memorable dining experiences.
Casa Palopó's tranquil ambiance offers an idyllic escape for those seeking relaxation amidst the breathtaking highland landscapes of Guatemala, with ample opportunities for exploration and discovery.
