Panama City
Panama City is a dynamic blend of modern energy and historic charm, where skyscrapers meet the tropical beauty of the Pacific coast. Known as the gateway between North and South America, the city is famed for the Panama Canal, one of the world’s greatest engineering marvels, and the scenic Cinta Costera, a waterfront promenade perfect for walking and cycling with views of the bay. In the heart of the city, Casco Viejo offers cobblestone streets, colorful colonial architecture, lively rooftop bars, and world-class dining that reflect Panama’s rich cultural fusion. Whether you’re exploring lush rainforests just minutes away from downtown, savoring fresh seafood from the marina, or enjoying the vibrant nightlife, Panama City seamlessly combines the hustle and bustle of a city with tropical adventure.
The Westin Playa Bonita is located just south of Panama City, offering a tropical destination on the outskirts of the city. A beautiful beach just steps from your hotel room, three infinity pools, a dynamic spa, and 24/7 fitness center access, you will be able to create the ideal stay combining activity and relaxation. The resort is home to eight dining facilities offering a combination of buffet and a la carte options of tasty local favorites. Don't forget at the end of the day, to connect with your co-workers at the Soléo Sports Bar to play some pool or sing karaoke, open daily until 1:00 AM.
