Travellers who want a modern part of the city, near malls and restaurants, are the natural fit. Guests describe the area as central and safe, close to shopping and the coastal beltway.
Drivers benefit from listed free parking. People who like hotel facilities get a gym, spa, pool, restaurant and terrace on the list, though opening times and fees are not confirmed.
Skip it if your trip is mostly about the old town. The Metropolitan Cathedral is about 3.1 km away, which is a long walk in Panama's heat.
Location and getting around
The address is Via Italia Punta Paitilla Calle Wiston Churchil, in Punta Paitilla. The location score is 9.3.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Panama City is about 3.1 km away, roughly 39 minutes on foot. Vitri Tower is about 7.1 km, close to 90 minutes. Both are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi.

What guests say
Breakfast comes up often: a large buffet with a wide variety, including fruit and cheeses. The location is the other strength, central, safe and close to malls, restaurants and the coastal road.
The pool gets mixed comments. Guests like the area and its views, but mention maintenance work and strict towel rules.
The 8.9 score rests on 6,256 reviews, the kind of volume that makes a rating very stable.
