Atitlan Hotel

The Atitlan Hotel is located on the shores of Lake Atitlan, in the picturesque town of Panajachel. The décor is in the Spanish colonial-hacienda style that was favored by the Guatemalan plantation owners of the 18th-century: A fantasia of ornately gardens, hand-carved wooden furniture and gorgeous ceramic tiles. The restaurant has an elegant ambiance that is often compared to that of chic California dining places. In tones of terracotta burgundy and teal, the main dinning room with terrace level comprise the restaurant, enhanced by huge windows, wood columns, a fireplace and mahogany and gold leaf side tables. Adjacent to the restaurant there is a cozy and home-like bar. The thatched roof Ranchito accessible by cobblestone pathways through the manicured gardens and next to the lake, is devoted to extraordinary functions and banquets.
