Casa Palopo Atitlan
Casa Palopo Atitlan is a lavish boutique hotel set in an enviable hillside niche on the north-eastern shores of Lake Atitlan, a short drive from Santa Catarina Palopó.
Just 3 hours from Antigua and its sister hotel Casa Palopo Antigua, Casa Palopo Atitlan offers equally sumptuous accommodation within 7 suites and a two bedroom villa set further uphill. Each individual suite is basked in a rich décor of cobalt blue or bright yellow hues, complemented by beautiful tiles or hardwood floors, a collection of original Guatemalan paintings, and hand carved mahogany bedsteads accentuated by intricate wrought iron finishes. Impressive floor-to-ceiling windows slide open onto a private balcony commanding spectacular views. Those wishing to avoid the steep incline toward the hilltop villa may consider a private helicopter transfer landing on one of two helipads at Casa Palopo Atitlan. The villa comprises a master suite and junior suite with four poster mahogany beds and two bathrooms featuring a separate shower and bath tub facility. The spacious villa also houses a lounge, and a kitchen and dining area with a private chef available by appointment. In addition, the villa also benefits from a private butler, a 50ft long lap pool alongside a Jacuzzi and gazebo set before sublime views across Lake Atitlan and the peaks of Toliman, Atitlan and San Pedro.
Enjoy alfresco dining at the award-winning restaurant, 6.8 Palopo, serving Guatemalan and international cuisine on the attractive lakeside terrace. A pool is perched on a verdant ridge with sun lounges, or guests can relax on the hotel’s own private beach.
