"Vibrant colors are an innate part of Guatemala’s culture, art, fashion, and design due to the influence of both Spanish and Indigenous peoples, as well as of descendants of Africa and the Caribbean. At Casa Palopo, each suite is uniquely decorated with contemporary and indigenous Guatemalan artwork. The walls are painted with colors that echo the hues of the surrounding landscape. For example, cadet blue accents cover the walls in the property’s San Andres deluxe suite, where a large sliding door opens to Lake Atitlán and its three surrounding volcanoes. Deep, dark red and orange walls are painted in the San Marcos suite (which is recommended for couples) and has a balcony that overlooks the sunset." - Jessica Chapel
