The Waldorf Astoria Panama recently started welcoming guests with the same level of luxury and care that the Waldorf Astoria brand is known for worldwide. The hotel boasts 130 rooms and suites and 118 apartments, all featuring items from the Waldorf Astoria Bed Collection including Suite Dream mattresses, Super Topper mattress pads, and down-filled comforters and pillows. The entire hotel is bathed in warm gold tones, clean white accents, and soothing neutral earthy colors that convey an air of subtle opulence. The hotel, part of the Hilton Worldwide family, also has four-star features such as an outdoor pool, full-service spa and salon, and four eateries to fill nearly any culinary craving.

Location-wise, the Waldorf Astoria Panama can’t be beat. The hotel can be found in the trendy Calle Uruguay area of town, known for its vibrant social scene. It is also less than 15 minutes away from the airport, 10 minutes away from the famed Panama Canal, and within walking distance of the city’s business district and the park at Cinta Costena, a lively pedestrian promenade.
