Character and identity
A 36-story tower in the thick of Panama City's business district, this is the brand's first Latin American outpost and reads as a calm, design-led retreat dropped into a busy urban grid. The lobby sets a Zen tone in light neutrals with gold accents, anchored by the Peacock Alley Bar. The 130 rooms and suites run from city-view standards to ocean-view premium suites. Four restaurants include Matiz for breakfast and casual dinners, plus the Bungalow Terrace & Pool Bar on a blue-lit terrace overlooking the skyline. The seventh-floor spa signs off with treatments like a Panamanian chocolate body wrap.
Who's it for
Best for:
Business travellers who want a polished base 15 minutes from Tocumen, and couples after an urban escape with a strong spa, good food and a sunset pool terrace. The Cinta Costera waterfront promenade is on the doorstep for morning walks.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone hoping for a beach or resort feel: this is a city tower surrounded by chaotic traffic. Families seeking kids' programming or guests wanting a quiet, residential neighbourhood will be happier elsewhere, and November visits are best avoided due to holidays and heavy rain.
Bottom line
What sets this property apart is the contrast between the buzzy financial-district setting and the genuinely calm interiors, spa and rooftop pool. Book a premium ocean-view suite to make the most of the skyline and bay outlook, plan around November, and use Uber rather than yellow taxis to navigate the surrounding traffic.
