Trump International Hotel & Tower Panama

First, let me say the hotel was clean, well maintained and comfortable. The staff was outstanding. My room was great, the bed and linens were some of the most comfortable I've ever had in a hotel. What made this a 4 star review for me was the layout and feel of the hotel. The entire place was sort of impersonal and generic. Definitely didn't feel like there was any sort of flow or theme. The lobby is gigantic, but the check-in desk is tiny and off in a little side room. The food in the various restaurants and hotel bar are very bland and again didn't seem to have any type of rhyme or reason. The location of the hotel has a great view right on the ocean, but there aren't really any restaurants or bars in walking distance. Just condo high rises.

Due to Hurricane Irma's impact on Miami's airport, we were forced to make alternate flight arrangements for our week in Curacao. As I had United Mileage Plan Points, I used them to book Copa Airlines from New Orleans to Curacao via Panama City. The only drawback was we would have to spend a night in PC, but we treated that as another adventure instead of an issue. My Chase Explorer card gave me exclusive booking privileges for hotels in PC and I chose The Trump International Panama as I was offered a room for $149 plus a $50 hotel credit and a breakfast buffet for two. It sounded like and was a really great deal! The hotel is about 30 mins or so from the airport (try Uber, much cheaper than a taxi) and is an impressive sail shaped building on the oceanfront. Check in was easy and the staff was friendly and imformative and soon we were in our ocean view room on the 23rd floor. The room was clean, modern, large, airy and was furnished tastefully including a large bath tub in one corner of the room. The room had a separate walk in shower with a rain head, a separate water closet and a large balcony affording beautiful ocean views. There also was a large screen TV and a personalized welcome basket of fresh local fruit in the room. We had lunch on the terrace of the Barcelona restaurant. Although a bit pricey, the ambiance was nice and the food (tapas) was tasty. The breakfast bar was also in the Barcelona Restaurant the next morning and featured all kinds of hot food, cold food and fruit. I was very impressed with the quantity and the service. Both were superb! The hotel is a good jumping off point for exploring the Panama Canal and the Old Town of Panama City. Its not within walking distance, but it is an easy 5-10 minute taxi or Uber ride from almost anywhere (except the Canal which is about 25 minutes away). Although we only had a one night stay, I enjoyed the Trump International Panama City and would recommend it as one of the nicer hotels in PCY.

i stayed here for 3 days it was very nice and clean! room and bed where super clean & bed was comfortable! the casino in the building was super cool! the restaurant in the casino was amazing i had a Lomo Saltado with it was the best i ever had and that dish is my fav i always get it when i see it on the menu.

The good: the rooms are very comfortable, with a good mattress and pillows, great shower and amenities; the swimming pools are fantastic; the ambiance in general is great. The bad: the Azul restaurant at the pool has a terrible cost x benefit; there was too much noise coming from the room just besides ours (through the communicating door - avoid this type of room). The ugly: the city itself is ugly (and that includes the hotel neighborhood)

I just stayed at this hotel for a business trip, it's sleek , modern, the rooms are spacious and airy with a great bathroom and shower plus the most comfortable bed I have slept in. The food was great throughout the stay and the hotel staff were most friendly and helpful. I even had a moment to enjoy the infinity pool, a lovely luxury hotel and not at all expensive. The views from the 66th floor , while enjoying a cocktail are fabulous!
