Overview
An art-led financial-district hotel
The Bristol is a financial-district icon in Panama City — A Registry Collection Hotel, formerly Leading Hotels of the World, hung with work by around a hundred Latin American artists and sister to the coastal Buenaventura. Egyptian-cotton linens and marble baths run through some hundred and twenty-seven rooms, while forty-eight Executive Residences and Suites add full condos among the largest in the city, the biggest reaching around eighteen hundred square feet with their own kitchens and separate living and dining. The Spa at Bristol sits on the twenty-fifth floor with panoramic city views, six treatment rooms and a sauna and steam, and an outdoor lap pool. Salsipuedes serves Panamanian fusion and international plates, the Lobby Bar and Terrace pours tapas, wine, port and cognac with cigars, and butler service runs throughout. It stands in the heart of the financial district near Soho City Center and the Cinta Costera, a walk from shopping and dining and a transfer from Tocumen, an art-led, urban-luxury address with no golf of its own — the city counterpart to its golf-and-beach sister on the coast.

An 18-hole, par-72 Jack Nicklaus course threads the grounds, several pools and swim-up bars step down to a private beach, and seven restaurants run from Panamanian cooking to teppanyaki.

American Trade Hotel
American Trade Hotel is Ace Hotel Group's first independent hotel — a restored 1917 neoclassical palazzo on Plaza Herrera in Casco Viejo, the UNESCO Old Quarter. Fifty vintage-chic rooms pair white-wood panelling with Frette linens and outlooks over the plaza, the quarter or the Gulf of Panama. Danilo's Jazz Club, founded by the Grammy-winning Danilo Pérez, plays downstairs; Café Unido pours Panama Geisha; and the hotel's Cultural Engineers arrange the walkable Old Quarter in place of a conventional concierge.
