Panama Boutique Hotels
Panama’s boutique hotels are ideal for travelers that prefer style to size. These charming hotels often have communal spaces that are well suited for reading or conversation. The guest rooms may be individually decorated, and the restaurant/bar often offers specialty items. Overall, the feel of these places is much more intimate and artsy than a larger resort.
