La Casa de Carmen Bed & Breakfast 20 minutes from Tocumen International Airport, exiting the highway into Brazil Avenue, just a block behind Via España Avenue Tel: (507) 263-4366 http://www.lacasadecarmen.net lacasadecarmen@cableonda.net
Through a unique fusion of color and art coupled with a relaxed friendly hospitality, La Casa de Carmen Bed & Breakfast offers a special atmosphere akin to a Panamanian family home, affording guests a unique opportunity to experience the local way of life during their stay.
The B&B offers single, double and triple bedrooms all delightfully decorated in rainbow bright colors, with or without private bathrooms. We also have a one bedroom apartment, specially adapted for longer stays and a dormitory style room for budget travelers. However there are no posted rates available, to allow the innkeeper to be seasonally responsive… (But do remember to add the 10% tourist tax to all rates you are quoted).
You are invited to relax in Las Casa de Carmen’s colorful veranda, where the sounds of birds singing in harmony with nature will transport you to a place far more tranquil than the city. Free continental breakfast and international reading area, free Internet access, TV, self-service kitchen and laundry room, hot water, air conditioned bedrooms, and a private safe box are all amenities you’ll welcome at Las Casa de Carmen.
The cautious optimist in each of us - is delighted with special treatment coming from excellent staff members at whatever hospitality location we chose as our destination. Being met at the airport is nice; having your questions clearly answered as they occur is delightful. However the most advantageous information may be provided with your complimentary welcome cocktails; such as setting up drivers who speak your language, and free local phone use during your visit.
If the really important options you’re seeking are introductions to the Panamanian professionals who can help get what you need done efficiently, you may need to search a little harder. Connections such as helping to make your banking relationships easier to start up, providing introductions to realtors who will have your best interests at heart and tour planning professional who graciously and honorably fill your needs , then some of the innkeepers in Panama are doing a more wonderful job of welcoming you to Panama, than others.
The most ancient form of marketing for any business is word of mouth. One individual who has an excellent business exchange, shares that news with his neighbor, who chooses to do business with that company also. In the hospitality industry now…most organizations have become so large, their employees are no longer in touch with their clients needs and don’t have the connections in their own circle to provide contacts for potential business connections, so that ball is dropped. That isn’t the case with innkeepers who manage one special niche market…as owners and operators for bed and breakfast lodging in Panama City, Panama. Let’s introduce you to a few of the bed and breakfast entrepreneurs located in and around the city.
Four Points by Sheraton
Marbela & 53rd Street, At the World Trade Center
Four Points Sheraton Panama has European décor and is located conveniently in Marbella, one of the trendier spots in Panama City. The rooms are comfortable, the facilities for business trips supportive. It is within walking distance of restaurants and the MultiPlaza Shopping Center.
“Wireless internet access is available in the lobby and bar area. Kind of a pain to have to run downstairs every time you want to warm up your laptop, but it beats paying $14 per day for access,” said one travel commentator. Some of the amenities offered: 24-hour room service; business center/services, including a conference room, concierge desk; fitness facility; outdoor pool; whirlpool/hot tub laundry service, tennis court; wheelchair accessibility and free parking.
Some find the location, in the new high-rise part of town, a bit stark and there are some traveler reviews that focus on lack of cleanliness, but it is relatively convenient to the Tocumen (PTY) Airport and Casco Viejo for a mid level cost of $190 a night, with a breakfast buffet included in some plans.
Bristol Hotel
Area Bancaria, Bella Vista
Located at the heart of the city, the Bristol Hotel is posh, five-star hotel that provides close access to the city’s business and entertainment districts. Fortunately, the food in the Bristol Hotel’s restaurant, the Barandas’ is usually excellent, because you’ll have to ‘dress’ to eat here. The restaurant’s focus is so elite, guests who are wearing shorts may not eat in their dining room, not even for lunch in this theoretically tropical destination.
Do ask when you make your meal reservations, to be sure they are NOT having an event in their meeting rooms; since there’s no acoustical separation between the restaurant and the Grand Colonial meeting room…with its capacity for entertaining 300 people. From personal experience, eating in the restaurant during an event is auditory torture, no matter how good the meal.
Business travelers can access the hotel’s 24-hour business center or avail themselves of spacious meeting rooms. Surprisingly the hotel even supplies personalized introductory cards for clients with their name and their hotel room’s direct phone number. All rooms come equipped with basic amenities including: high speed internet access for wired and wireless computers, fax, voice mail, cable TV, CD and DVD players.
The Bristol Hotel staff surprises many of their guests with their exceptional efforts to provide excellent services, therefore, it is considered one of Panama City’s finest hotels, even though it offers only 56 rooms at an average of $290 per night. The other section of the building is called Bristol Residences and is available for longer term luxury rentals.
On the shores of the Pacific Ocean; Panama City is bright, cosmopolitan, and fast moving. Distinctive casinos, bars and restaurants, great shopping, are in beautiful and historical Casco Viejo, the 17th century historical area in mid-renovation; or Panama Viejo, the 16th century Panamanian ruins, the Panama Canal, and the subtropical forest in a metropolitan park all add to the combination that make Panama City exceptional in Central America.
So what kind of lodging do you want in Panama City…? Do you prefer luxury lodging options with 600 thread count sheets and mimosa’s for breakfast? Or do you want median cost dwellings? Even economy travel digs in Panama are available with good food and good folks? They are all accessible! This site will group many of the Panama City lodging alternatives by cost and amenities.
Well you could rent a fully furnished $12 million dollar castle on Contadora Island or stay in spartan lodgings at a Hostel. What would you enjoy the most? Let’s look at the stars of the hospitality industry in Panama City. Until next time…
Casco Viejo, Calle 4 Ave A, Panama City

Panama is one of Latin America’s fastest growing tourism destinations. Amazingly, Panama has gained a reliable renown as: one of the world’s leading intersection of latitude and longitude for those who wish to experience amazing eco tourism objectives, new targets for a variety of sports enthusiasts and becoming a first class retirement destination, with as many alternatives for retirement living, as there are people, it seems.
The first thing you see in Panama City’s skyline is the contrast between the old ‘Panama Viejo’ established in 1519; ‘Casco Viejo’, founded in 1673; and then the new Panama City; represented by a well developed high rise skyline with the addendum of over 250 high rise projects, being built simultaneously.
If you chose to visit a historical site, Casco Viejo can take you way back in time with its narrow streets, fish market and its great colonial architecture. The Panamanian Presidential Palace is located here, away from the noisy hustle and bustle of the busiest international banking district in Latin America. You’ll love peaking at the white cranes strolling around the pond in the President’s garden compound.
It was here the city of Panama was founded in the seventeenth century, and meandering around the neighborhood is definitely like a trip back in time. One block is renovated to the nines and the next looks like a bomb went off… or rather a round of canon balls hit a few hundred years ago.
So some of your neighbors won’t be trying to borrow your Grey’s Poupon…do remember to be realistically cautious, this is a neighborhood in recovery…and its life signs are strong. Since we’re talking about Casco Viejo…let’s consider some of the few lodging alternatives available or close by.
