Casa Palopo, Lake Atitlan

Spectacularly perched above Lake Atitlan, this romantic setting offers stunning views of the Guatemalan highlands and a distinctive choice of accommodation. The main building features seven, spacious rooms that are appointed throughout with a charming fusion of contemporary styling and indigenous design, whilst a separate villa complex offers two bedrooms, private terraces and an infinity pool and Jacuzzi. Rooms feature floor to ceiling windows, hardwood, rainfall showers and stand-alone bathtubs, and many also have views to the surrounding volcanoes and lake. Guests can also enjoy a solar heated pool and the hotel’s intimate 6.8 Palopó restaurant, which provides the perfect setting for fine dining and uninterrupted sunsets. The hotel is located in Santa Catarina, a small village just above the popular lakeside town of Panajachel, around a 10-minute drive away.
