Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

Casa Palopo

Name: Casa Palopo
Address: Guatemala

Built into the hills near the village of Santa Catarina Palapo village and on the shores of Lake Atitlan

Charming luxury with superb views

The stunning hotel provides guests with splendid views of three magnificent volcanoes. Casa Palopo is also the only Relais & Chateaux hotel in Guatemala.

Casa Palopo stands as one of the most beautifully designed luxury hotels in the country; each of the 15 rooms are spacious and reflect the country’s unique décor and design, with each suite being different from the next. 12 of the rooms are located in the main hotel, while the luxurious villa boasts three rooms. Half of the rooms in the main hotel were added in 2018 and feature a more contemporary style, though they are still very Guatemalan in their design. Guests can enjoy the spacious lounge areas inside and out and exquisite food and wines are served in the hotel’s top restaurant, where guests can enjoy their meals in elegant and sophisticated surroundings with spectacular views.

This is the perfect base for exploring the Guatemalan highlands, visiting the traditional and authentic villages to learn about Mayan culture, or hiking up the heights of one of the volcanoes (Toliman, Atitlan, and San Pedro), with a local guide.
