Bristol Panama

Bristol Panama is located in downtown Panama City. This modern hotel has comfortable rooms and awesome facilities, including a swimming pool, restaurant and spa.

Panama City is often used as a jumping off point to other parts of the country, but the city has its fair share of things to see and do. There are several neighborhoods that are pleasant places to shop, eat, and people watch. Casco Viejo – an attractive, bohemian neighborhood on the west side of town – is becoming more delightful by the day. Travelers interested in Panama’s history should head across town and visit the crumbling ruins of Old Panama, which is where the city was first built. Day trips can be made to the Panama Canal, Barro Colorado Island, and Taboga Island.

Bristol Panama mixes style with sophistication. Its 119 rooms are spread across two towers, which makes it feel surprisingly small and intimate. And the hotel’s location couldn’t be better—the financial district is right at hand and it’s a short walk to Balboa Avenue, where you can shop to your heart’s content.

The rooms at Bristol Panama are well appointed and have charming colonial décor. Local artwork decorates the walls and balances well with the deep browns in the furniture. The rooms have luxurious touches, including Frette cotton sheets, Hungarian down-filled pillows, and Molton Brown bath amenities. The private bathrooms are appointed with wall-to-wall marble and have a separate glass-enclosed shower and deep soaking tub. All rooms also come with an air conditioner, cable TV, in-room safe, iron/ironing board, hair dryer, coffee maker, and mini bar.

The Salsipuedes Restaurant at Bristol Panama offers a rich showcase of Panamanian and international cuisine. The restaurant’s renowned chef, Cuquita Arias de Calvo, uses local ingredients in her fresh, tasty creations. After enjoying a meal at the restaurant, guests can saunter to the lounge for an after-dinner drink or chat.

Bristol Panama has an outdoor swimming pool where guests can cool off and soak up the sun, as well as a spa that offers a range of relaxing treatments. Travelers that are on business or who are entertaining large groups can use the hotel’s meeting rooms or banquet halls, the largest of which can hold up to 230 guests.
