This historic 21-room hotel dating from 1914 wins you over with its sprawling flower gardens, serene spaces, and handsome rooms and public areas. Choose between the original rooms, bursting with character, or new, larger terrace rooms outfitted as modern deluxe. Service is impeccable, and the restaurant is among Panama’s best. The day spa is the perfect complement to a mountain getaway.
You can relax here, knowing that John Wayne, Ingrid Bergman and Richard Nixon did so too. It's located on a quiet road at the northern end of town just west of where the bridge washed away in 2008.
