Commitment to Heritage
At Fort George Hotel & Spa, we infuse hospitality with our rich cultural heritage, placing the hotel’s icon at the heart of our inspiration.
Dig into our history and you’ll discover that the ancient Mayans—highly esteemed for their artistic prowess—continue to influence our culture centuries later. Their artwork, adorned with meaningful symbols, remains a testament to the cultural tapestry still woven throughout contemporary Mayan communities spanning El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, and Honduras.
Our hotel’s iconic logo draws inspiration from Alatun, the symbol of the longest duration in the Maya calendar. The 13 baktun cycle—encompassing 1,872,000 days or 5,125.366 years—serves as the embodiment of enduring time.
When creating the hotel’s symbolic identity, we embraced the notion of longevity. Our commitment to fostering enduring connections, embracing the rebirth of fresh concepts, and nurturing aspirations seamlessly integrates with our cultural ethos. It also illuminates the principles guiding our hospitality practices and fueling our dedication to enhance our hotel’s ecological framework.
This high-value symbolism is deeply ingrained in Fort George’s hospitality culture. Throughout your stay, you’ll encounter this iconic emblem welcoming you in our lobby and gracing printed materials. This one exquisite piece of art—now refined in a contemporary logo— stands as the authentic expression of our commitment to our heritage, both past, present, and future.
