San Ignacio, Belize – June 4, 2024 – Today marked the grand opening of The West House Boutique Hotel, a stunning new addition to San Ignacio’s vibrant downtown area. Owned and operated by a local Belizean family, this boutique hotel offers a unique blend of modern comforts and authentic local charm.

Located on West Street, just steps away from the famed cobblestone Burns Avenue, The West House Boutique Hotel promises an intimate stay with nine meticulously designed rooms. Each room features thoughtful amenities and brand-new furniture. The hotel’s design concept is a tribute to the heritage of Belize, infused with a fresh, modern twist.

"The West House Boutique Hotel becomes a place where travelers and locals can mingle, all within a more intimate setting than larger properties," shares the hotel's owner, Faride Ahmad.  “It offers a unique and personal ambiance, catering to travelers who prefer authentic experiences over standardized settings. It’s the ideal accommodation for guests seeking a genuine San Ignacio experience,” says Ahmad.

Upon entry, guests are greeted not by a typical reception desk, but by a welcoming lounge area. This space is furnished with plush lounge chairs on an expansive terrace, featuring an exclusive bar (opening soon and available only to guests). The entry also features a vibrant mural by local artist Pablo Cambranes, whose award-winning prints are also framed throughout the property. The atmosphere is a tasteful mix of local art and contemporary decor, offering a unique ambiance with a vibrant nod to the country's rich history and culture.

The hotel features the convenience of a coffee shop downstairs, where guests can enjoy breakfast, pastries, and specialty coffee made with homemade syrups. The hotel’s central location makes it an ideal base for guests looking to explore the many adventures western Belize has to offer, including visits to waterfalls, the ancient temples of Xunantunich and Caracol, cave tours at Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM), horseback riding, ziplining, and river tubing.
