Casa Palopo

Nestled on a hillside of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala sits Casa Palopo, a handsome colonial-style hotel with brightly painted walls and a spectacular view. Stepping out onto the terrace of this property, you will be greeted with sweeping views of the glassy turquoise lake.

At Casa Palopo, there are 15 rooms all inspired by the colorful Guatemalan culture. The carefully curated furniture and art pieces reflect the rich heritage of this property. All rooms come with views of the lake and most come with balconies and the exclusive Villa Palopo comes with its own private pool.

Days are best spent lounging by the pool and taking in the magnificent views of the lake, indulging at the spa, or spending some quiet time in the library. When it comes to dining, guests will be in for a treat. Known for his TV show 'Flavours Of My Land’, Guatemalan Chef Eduardo Gonzalez will whip up authentic Guatemalan cuisines such as fried eggs with black beans and specialties like cannelloni stuffed with hilachas. Meals served either on the open terrace facing the lake or indoors with an intimate setting.
