Panama City's most storied independent luxury hotel — the original five-star in the city, now part of IHG's Registry Collection. Soundproofed rooms with state-of-the-art electronics, a spa with sauna, an acclaimed restaurant serving gourmet Panamanian cuisine, and a lounge bar specializing in tapas. The standard-bearer for Panama City luxury since before the international brands arrived.
Why We Chose It
The Bristol Panama has been the go-to address for business travelers who want something other than an international chain — a classic full-service hotel in Marbella with consistent service and a location that makes getting around the city straightforward. The restaurant is one of the better hotel dining rooms in the city.
What Stands Out
- One of the most established mid-range hotels in Panama City
- Located in Marbella — between Casco Viejo and the financial district
- Full-service property
- Reliable and consistent
- A favorite among business travelers
