Chef Clara Icaza, named one of the top chefs in all of Latin America, prepares lunch and dinner in the Dining Room. Her culinary expertise, honed in top kitchens from Northern California to New York City, and most recently Limoncillo, the sorely missed Panama City culinary marvel, earned her international attention. Committed to fresh, local ingredients, Icaza offers innovative takes on classic meat and seafood dishes, then pairs it with an impressive global wine list.

Top off the night with vintage-inspired cocktails at the Lobby Cafe and Bar. Harkening back to the Panama City of the 20s and 30s, a time when the country’s social culture was at its most vibrant, the hotel’s bar takes its cues from notable Panamanian sporting clubs of the era. The menu offers classic drinks infused with the bright energy of today’s Casco Viejo, complete with fresh fruits and artisanal ingredients.

Explore all that Panama has to offer through hand-picked, highly personalized tours into the city. From a day on the expansive Lake Gatun, an afternoon walking the historic streets of Casco Viejo, or a demanding hike to the top of Cerro Ancon for stunning views of downtown, the Casco and the Canal await.

Come nightfall, nab one of the 50 seats at Danilo’s Jazz Club. Guests are treated to an intimate mix of international and local artists, many of whom studied under the jazz club’s founder, Danilo Perez. The Grammy-winning, internationally renowned Panamanian jazz pianist and composer played with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Haden, Tito Puente, and others. In January, the club serves as the center point for the Panama Jazz Festival.
