Lekil Room

Suite Deluxe

Lekil Room

Lekil means good in Tsotsil language, feel the well-being that irradiates our Deluxe Suite Room.

Description

The Lekil room has a loft with wooden floors and ceilings, ideal space to accommodate a queen size bed. On the first floor: a double bed, natural light and special plants for interiors that favor a purer environment, as well as larger spaces with greater ease for people with reduced mobility.

The municipality of Zinacantán, a few minutes from San Cristóbal de las Casas, in the central region of the state known as Los Altos de Chiapas, is home to hundreds of women who preserve every day one of the most ancestral pre-Hispanic techniques: the backstrap loom.

This is where the textiles that adorn one of our most spacious rooms come from: Lekil. The colors and designs made by the inhabitants of this region reflect the traditions, worldview and identity of the Tsotsil people.

Facilities for people with reduced mobility, with larger spaces.

Community Textile

The women weavers of “Los Altos” in the state of Chiapas have represented, for thousands of years, a great cultural wealth, portrayed in the iconography of their handwoven textiles, which are considered one of the most laborious, interesting and important of the world.

The different techniques of weaving on a backstrap loom, as well as the different prehispanic brocades, that represent the mayan worldview of the universe, are the hallmark of every ethnic group. Each one expresses itself in terms of its own evolution and idiosyncrasy.

The garments embroidered with colorful flowers characterize the weavers of Zinacantán. The women artisans involved in the redlization of these textiles revive forgotten brocades and patterns, incorporating the traditional and almost vanished diamond shaped figures, which provide a creative and contemporary touch without losing the traditional identity.

In Casa Lum we contribute to fair trade, acquiring and promoting the trade of handmade textiles manufactured by artisans from Chiapas communitieS who work in groups under this premise.
