Hotel El Panamá Convention Center & Casino is one of Panama City’s most historic and instantly recognizable hotels, welcoming travelers on Vía España in the heart of the Bella Vista district since the 1950s. Set among mature tropical gardens that give the property a resort-like feel in the middle of the city, it blends genuine mid-century character with the comforts expected of a large, full-service modern hotel across its many rooms and suites.
The hotel holds a distinctive place in the local scene thanks to its extensive on-site convention center, long a favorite venue for conferences, conventions, product launches, weddings, and large social events. That heritage as a gathering place shapes the whole property: wide public spaces, a busy lobby, and a steady rhythm of events give it an energy that few city hotels can match. Guests find a deep roster of amenities close at hand and rarely need to leave for anything essential.
The location is a real strength. Vía España is one of the city’s main commercial arteries, so banks, pharmacies, shopping malls, and casual restaurants sit within a short walk, and the Metro line makes reaching downtown, Albrook, or the old town straightforward without a car. The financial district and the Cinta Costera waterfront are both a quick ride away.
With its combination of legacy, generous space, gardens, and a truly central address, Hotel El Panamá remains a practical and characterful base for visitors who want to be in the thick of the city while still enjoying room to relax. It suits conference delegates, event guests, families, and travelers who appreciate a hotel with a real sense of place and history.
Yes. Hotel El Panama has its own convention center that can host up to 3,000 delegates, plus a full-service casino on the property.
Guests can enjoy a large outdoor pool set in tropical gardens, multiple restaurants and bars, event facilities, and 24-hour front desk service.
