Global Hotel Panama

Sleeping in a modern mixed-use skyscraper might not be what you had in mind when you first thought of a trip to a tropical destination like Panama. The concept does sound a little cold, especially since the Global Hotel Panama is one of those hotels that doesn’t occupy the whole building, just the ground level and six upper floors. But hear us out. This is one of the most popular hotels in Panama City. Not because it’s terribly cozy, or for the style, which is pleasant enough. It’s in other categories that the Global Hotel Panama really delivers: excellent service, solid amenities, and location, location, location.

That location, in the Twist Tower in the downtown district of Obarrio, puts you within walking distance, or a short taxi ride, of pretty much anywhere you’d like to go in town. Convenient, indeed, especially since many travelers experience Panama City as a point of connection to somewhere else. You won’t be sorry you booked here when you arrive, overheated and exhausted, and the front desk staff offer you a flute of champagne or chilled mineral water. Things look even better when you get inside your room. The building itself is brand-new, and it looks and feels like it. Rooms and suites are spotless and state-of-the-art, smartly stocked with 40-inch LCD TVs, iPhone docking stations, Italian coffee machines, and bathrooms with walk-in showers. Floor-to-ceiling windows mean a flood of sunshine, and striking views over Panama City’s rapidly developing skyline. Suites have king-sized beds with pillow menus and marble baths with products by Salvatore Ferragamo.

Up on the twelfth floor, there’s a small outdoor swimming pool. Adjacent are the pool bar and the obligatory fitness center: choose your own adventure according to your mood and level of jet lag. You’ll find another bar on the ground level at the brasserie-style 54 East restaurant. If you’re in town for a longer than a night or two, you might take a quick course (and tasting) in Panamanian rum. But even if you’re only passing through before an early flight, you’ll want to plan ahead — you wouldn’t guess it from the outside, but the Global Hotel Panama has just sixty rooms, and they go fast.
