I had an outstanding stay at The Bristol Panama. The rooms are elegant, the atmosphere calm and refined — but what truly sets it apart is the staff. Leo and Miguel at the valet/concierge desk were incredibly helpful, professional, and genuinely kind. They made every arrival and departure smooth and welcoming. Five stars all around — I’ll definitely return!

The Bristol is a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Panama Viry’s financial district. Close to everything including restaurants, the Bristol has such a Zen feel. The guest rooms are BIG. The daily breakfast buffet is delish!! The staff Is very accommodating. We loved our stay!!

The Bristol is about 25 minutes from Tocumen Airport so it’s a fairly quick drive to take advantage of its comfortable amenities. The staff treated us like royalty and made our stay before and after our vacation in Boquete a complete delight. They arranged a private transfer each way for about $40, all efficiently handled and invoiced to our room. The room was lovely with comfortable beds and a very nice bathroom. Our dinner in the hotel restaurant was quite good even though service was a little slower than we would have liked due to our late flight. The hotel exudes an atmosphere of elegance with gorgeous flower arrangements and quiet sophistication. The Bristol is not in an area within walking distance of very much ( a few restaurants) but it is perfect for a relaxing stay to soothe your soul.

Having traveled all over the world, having had massages in spas all over, from the USA, Asia, Europe, and South America, the massage I just had here was by far one of the best!! Every single knot was dealt with, the aromas excellent, not just sprayed in the room like some places, careful attention to every part, as it should be, the surroundings serene and worth every penny. Speak8ng of price, I've paid hundreds of dollars for a 50 min session. The value and amazing care made this experience even better!! I'll be moving to Panama City in July. The best news is that you don't have to be a guest of the hotel to use the spa services. They've made an on-going customer of me for sure!! Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

I’ve been to this spa on four different occasions, and every single experience has been absolutely incredible. I’ve booked several of their signature massages, including a lymphatic drainage massage, a regular massage, and a facial. Each time, the therapists have gone above and beyond to make sure I was completely relaxed and comfortable. They genuinely pay so much attention to every detail, ensuring that each treatment is perfectly tailored to my needs. Yoseline was my therapist several times and she did an incredible job.
