This hotel is situated in downtown Panama, approximately 25 miutes from the airport. It is the oldest hotel in Panama, but despite the remodelling and updates over the years, it has managed to keep it's classical and 'old world' charm. The rooms are large and well decorated, the staff are all very friendly and service is prompt and efficient. Breakfast (which is usually incuded in the hotel price) is a wonderful buffet - full of Panamanian delicacies and other North American and European fare. The choice of restaurants in the hotel was great - two by the pool, and the other inside the main hotel, which has Happy Hour and Latin music and dancing at night.
