Guatemala Hotels & Accommodations

At Earth Trip, we believe that where you stay is an integral part of your holiday. We have carefully curated a portfolio of the best boutique hotels, characterful heritage properties, and pioneering eco-lodges across Guatemala. Every property in our collection is selected based on its high standards of comfort, outstanding service, excellent guest reviews, and dedication to responsible, community-led tourism.

Whether you wish to stay in a beautifully restored colonial mansion tucked along the cobbled avenues of Antigua, a secluded boutique sanctuary overlooking the volcanic vistas of Lake Atitlán, or a luxury jungle lodge deep inside the ancient Mayan heartlands of Petén, we ensure your accommodation offers a true “sense of place” while supporting local conservation and independent communities.
