Panama City

Hotel La Compañia

Three different eras of Panama history come to life at Hotel La Compañia, where opulent modern design revitalizes a landmark location. Each of our three wings restores a piece of the old town (Casco Antiguo) to the height of contemporary luxury. Choose a beautifully curated room in the French Colonial wing, built by Jesuit priests in 1739; the Spanish Colonial wing, dating back to 1688; or the Beaux-Arts rooms in the American wing, which was once a high-end department store constructed in 1905.

Our five in-house restaurants draw on the same historical inspiration, creating the stone Spanish church interior of El Santuario or the old-school wood and brass furnishings of the American Bazaar. Head to the rooftop pool and bar for the ideal vantage point of a thriving Casco Antiguo neighbourhood, where nightlife, upscale dining, and world-renowned archaeological sites live side-by-side.

Drawing inspiration from French, Spanish, and American architectural traditions, the 88 rooms at Hotel La Compañia are a tribute to the past that also delights the modern eye. Each of our hotel’s three wings features a different design, but they share a bright, airy sensibility and a host of luxe amenities. Enjoy views of Casco Antiguo from the private balcony of a deluxe room, or get more space to relax in a suite with an oversized living area, comfortable vintage furniture, and beautiful exposed quartz stone. You’ll find welcome touches at every turn, from the streamlined digital key and check-in process to the complimentary minibar with soft drinks in each room.
