Property Info
Hotel Atitlan features 61 gorgeous rooms and suites in three categories: Standard Rooms, Junior Suites, and Master Suites. Each of the rooms is elegantly decorated with hand-carved wood furnishing, hand woven area rugs, and intricate ceramic tiles to preserve the Spanish colonial style of what was once an exclusive Guatemalan estate. Hotel Atitlan combines old world charm with new world amenities like cable TV, free wifi, safe, hair dryers, and luxurious private bathrooms. For extra space and additional coziness, upgrade to a Junior Suite or Master Suite which also feature in-room fireplaces. Every room at the hotel also features a private balcony with view of Lake Atitlan or the beautiful gardens.
Combined with its envious lakefront location and volcano views, the incredible botanical gardens offer absolutely serenity for those looking for a truly relaxing stay. Spanning from the entrance of the hotel to the lake itself, the expansive gardens are a collection of unique individual areas with it’s own ambience. To give you an idea of how impressive the gardens are, here you’ll find over 200 varieties of roses, 50 varieties of hibiscus & vines, heliconias, orchids, and over 25 colors of bougainvillea. These gardens are also great for bird watchers as over 250 species have been spotted on their property. The property also features nature walks, a butterfly reserve, and on warm days you can cool off with a swim in their infinity edge pool. Enjoy fine dining from 7 AM to 10 PM in a combination of regional and international dishes with fresh fruits, vegetables and produce sourced from local farms. Guests may dine in one of the two indoor dining rooms or out on the poolside terrace – all three settings offering spectacular lake and volcano views. The Volcano Bar is a cozy place to settle up next to the fire with your favorite cocktail or a glass of wine.
