Hotel Casa del Rey

This hotel is located in the small town of Chichicastenango. The hotel overlooks the market and has a swimming pool and restaurant.

Chichicastenango is renowned for its vibrant market, set within the picturesque mountainous Western Highlands. This town boasts a traditional culture that comes alive during its twice-weekly market, which, despite becoming increasingly touristy in recent years, remains fairly authentic. It offers travelers a fantastic opportunity to purchase unique handicrafts. Another key attraction, the Santo Tomás church, is conveniently located right across the street.

This hotel is situated on an 18-acre (7-ha) property that overlooks the stunning Guatemalan highlands and the bustling Chichicastenango market, located about 1.5 miles (2 km) from the market’s heart.

The accommodations feature exposed brick walls and are surrounded by flowering plants and a well-manicured lawn, creating a tropical and relaxed atmosphere.

Guests can choose from standard rooms or deluxe suites, all decorated simply yet vibrantly with bright Guatemalan paintings and fabrics. Each room includes a private bathroom with a hot water shower and a TV, with some offering lovely views of the town below. The larger suites feature spacious living rooms, fireplaces, and private porches, making them particularly inviting, especially when the temperature dips at night. Enjoying a morning on your porch is a delightful experience.

The hotel boasts a full-service restaurant and bar, serving both national and international cuisine with large windows that provide stunning views. In the evenings, guests can unwind in the lounge, featuring comfortable fireside seating.

As the days warm up, guests can cool off in the large swimming pool, complete with a flowing waterfall and a separate children’s pool. For relaxation, a Jacuzzi offers the perfect spot to warm up in the evening.

Additionally, this hotel offers five conference rooms for guest use, accommodating up to 600 people. It serves as an ideal setting for groups or mission teams working in the nearby area, ensuring a comfortable and productive stay.
