Courtyard Marriot

Looking to purchase some last-minute necessities? There’s a shopping mall just a few blocks away from the hotel. It takes just a short taxi ride to get to the nearby movie theater and golf course. If you have a day or so to spend in Guatemala, head north of the hotel to the historic district, to see interesting monuments like the Palacio Nacional de la Cultura, an elaborate 20th-century building with a dramatic history. For more local history, consider taking a city tour that stops at educational sites like the National Museum of Ethnology and Archeology.

In the morning, you can get your day started with the breakfast buffet that includes made-to-order eggs. The restaurant offers a convenient option for lunch and dinner as well. Besides the restaurant, there’s also a welcoming bar that offers an international selection of drinks.

Accommodations here are colorful and contemporary, with ergonomic furnishings that include spacious desks. All of the rooms come with conveniences like air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The cable TVs have international as well as local channels.

There’s a modern courtyard that makes a relaxing place to unwind between tours. If you want to get in a workout during the downtime, visit the fitness center to use the nice selection of cardio equipment and weights. At the spa, you’ll find a long menu of rejuvenating treatments, including a steam room, body scrubs, and massages — although you can also opt for the privacy of an in-room massage.
