In the midst of bustling Guatemala City, directly in the heart of the famous Zona Viva, is Hotel Viva Clarion Suites, the city’s only premier all-suites luxury hotel.  Stepping into the hotel and greeted by the gleaming marble floors and arching ceilings, one is immediately filled with a sense of modern comfort and elegance.   Upon entering the hotel, the helpful staff quickly ushers those with rooms on the Executive floor to the penthouse floor for a personalized “Elite” check-in, complete with a welcome juice cocktail.

However, it is the rooms that truly distinguish Hotel Viva Clarion Suites apart from other high-end hotels in Guatemala City.  The spacious living room and bedroom suites are filled with all the amenities of a luxury hotel, and have one of the most stunning views in all of Guatemala City.

The scenic vistas out of the windows of the entire city stretched before you with the backdrop of Guatemala’s rolling hills and volcanoes, is reason alone to stay at Hotel Viva Clarion Suites.

The hotel also houses the uniquely tropical La Poza restaurant, which recreates an indoor rainforest for its diners.  Rock facades intertwined with leafy vines and a waterfall suddenly transforms dinner into a magical experience.  Not to mention, the food is fresh and delicious, with on-hand chefs that cook certain dishes to order.

Add the gym with spa services, executive business center, and the fact that shopping, entertainment, restaurants and historic attractions are all just minutes away, and you have the perfect place to rest your head whenever you visit Guatemala City.
