Not what it once was but still amazing location
This was our second time here and 5 years ago was the first time. We were a little disappointed this time.
The hotel felt a but run down compared to what I was remembering and expecting.
Staff were great, and location and rooftop are amazing but the rooms and common areas felt like they needed small repairs or updates and that it had been neglected.

Wonderful
Everything was perfect.The location, the room. The food at the restaurant was out of the world, the rooftop bar was very good. But above all, it was the staff. One of the best in the world. Every morning we had breakfast at the bar in the lobby, such a pleasure. We just felt at home.

if Art therapy was a hotel.
As an artist myself I try to seek out more interesting stays. Art themed hotels. I'm always trying to find something special. looking for more of an experience over comfort. This place was inspiring and colorful. the location can't be beat. and Panama as a whole is just beautiful. But staying here made it all even better.

Our room was pretty dark even with all the lights turned on. The door to the balcony could not be locked, although the hotel assured us that it was safe because it was in the vicinity of the President's residence.

The staff were the highlight - they were so nice and helpful. The art was beautiful. The rooms were clean. The food was good. Unfortunately Saturday night the bar was pumping loud music and the taxis were beeping their horns until 5am. The earplugs they provided helped, but sleep was definitely interrupted.
