The largest town on Lake Atitlan is Panajachel, a
laid-back place with excellent hotels, restaurants and lots of places
to shop for Guatemalan crafts. Hotel Atitlan, one of Guatemala's
finest hotels is situated in the picturesque Panajachel.
The hotel was designed as a home away from home,
here you can simply relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake
surrounded by its spectacular volcanoes. Indeed Hotel Atitlan is
a unique place to stay. The elegant decoration is of a Spanish colonial-hacienda
style that was favored by the Guatemalan plantation owners of the
18th. century. The beautiful botanical gardens attract colorful
exotic birds and a variety of butterfly species that compliment
to the elegancy of the hotel.
Hotel Atitlan has 62 deluxe lakefront rooms featuring
private balconies and 6 elegant suites. Their services include,

places. The bar is adjacent to the restaurant where you can refresh
with a drink after an exiting day of visiting colorful villages
or hiking the volcanoes.
