Hello,
Is it possible to install the Xen Hypervisor for just isolate my host OS and disable its Virtualization features (Install guest OS)?
Thank you.

Yes, it is possible. If you are targeting embedded, you might find this
presentation interesting as it comes with examples:

Otherwise, if it is for your desktop, you might want to checkout
the Qubes OS and OpenXT projects.

You can often disable hardware virtualization via a UEFI/BIOS setting. Even if hardware virtualization support was disabled in UEFI/BIOS or already claimed by a bare-metal hypervisor like Xen or ESXi, it would still be possible to create a guest VM using software-only virtualization, e.g. VMware Workstation.
