David’s largest hotel offers 119 modern yet fairly sterile rooms better suited to domestic businesspeople than travelers. But the hotel isn’t short on amenities, and the on-site bar-restaurant, pizzeria, casino and six-screen cinema sweeten the deal. Some rooms, such as deluxe double room 140, look onto a leafy courtyard and large swimming pool – a plus in Panama's hottest city.
