Bristol Panama, a Registry Collection Hotel

From the moment I entered the lobby I was made to feel welcome. Danay completed my check in and check out processes but during the week she always remembered my name and asked about my stay. Juan also rememebered my name and gave great directions and food recommendations. Juan also set up a rum and chocolate tasting then personally came to make sure I was enjoying the experience. Restaurant and bar staff were friendly and engaging. Going above and beyond to remember drink orders and were I liked to sit for breakfast. Housekeeping in this hotel is phenomenal. Everything is clean and smells great. I truly cannot say enough about this hotel and the people that work there!

From moment I walked in the hotel I was warmly greeted by Juan who was very helpful and offered information about area, restaurant and activities. The room itself was large and comfortable with a nice view. The bathroom offered a separate shower, toilet and large soaking tub. There is an exercise room and pool on 5th floor, a spa on 25th floor, a bar off lobby and an amazing restaurant on 5th floor. The hotel offers several activities which I highly recommend. I went with the chef (and Juan to translate) to the markets and came back to make ceviche. I even got to choose my own lobster for dinner which was amazing. The restaurant is Michelin quality and inventiveness. Flavors are amazing. I had lunch 2 other places which were excellent but the food at Sal ti Pudes is the best I have eaten in years! I should also mention how incredibly friendly everyone was. Wait staff, hostess, front door staff ( Raul and Gabriel) always had a smile and greeted me by name. I am already making plans to return!

Bucket list trip to Panama exceeded my expectations. I was greeted at desk by Juan who quickly checked me in and offered me options for food and activities. Each time I went through lobby he greeted me. The doorman, porters Gabriel and Raul were also always eager to assist. But the most amazing thing was the food. Michelin star quality and inventiveness. I can't remember having better in my world wide travels!

An outstanding experience from start to finish. The hospitality, attention to detail, and overall atmosphere exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were luxurious, the amenities top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The breakfast was by far the best complementary breakfast I ever had. From the fresh fruit to the wellness shots. It truly was an exceptional experience. It is in the perfect location. With 2 bars and a soaking tub in the room. I truly didn’t want to leave my room. Bristol will always be my go to hotel when visiting Panama. Overall a 100/10

This was the first time we veered off the path in our choice of hotels in Panama. We didn’t know what to expect but were not disappointed! ||First the hotel rooms themselves. Spacious and paying attention to details discerning travelers will notice. The room design was simply perfect for our family. Next and perhaps most important was the hospitality and how we were treated. The staff memorized my name from the moment of check in and called me by my name when they saw me. Juan and Alicia at the front desk were fantastic. Next came the attention we received from people like Alexis at Sal Si Puedes Restaurant. He and his staff were stellar going into anticipating our needs once they knew what we liked. We could not have asked for more. ||All in all a pleasant surprise and one that as a result we will be returning for in future trips to Panama. As a Panamanian living overseas with high standards I could not be prouder of what they have accomplished here. Way to go folks!

From start to finish, The Bristol Panama delivered an absolutely flawless experience. They were incredibly accommodating and truly went above and beyond to make my birthday trip unforgettable. The staff paid thoughtful attention to every detail, from ensuring our rooms were perfectly placed, to arranging on-time (and even early) transfers, to making sure every request was handled with care. The service here is bar none the best I’ve ever experienced. Every interaction felt personal and genuine, and it was clear the team cared deeply about making our stay special. The hotel itself is beautiful, the rooms are elegant and comfortable, and the atmosphere feels like a peaceful escape right in the heart of Panama City. If you want a luxury stay with staff who make you feel like the most important guest in the building, The Bristol Panama is it. I can’t recommend it highly enough, I’ll be telling everyone I know to stay here.

My daughter and I were in Panama for a gymnastics competition and this location was perfect. We had an absolutely amazing experience. Lovely property with attentive staff. 10/10

There was no hot water in the evenings and it happen two nights in a row that at one the third night I didn’t bother showering till the morning. The shower was also clogged that the water rises on the floor. For the price of the hotel that shouldn’t be happening. Beware of the mini snack bar it’s ridiculously expensive and they were even trying to charge for a cookie we didn’t eat. Other than that it’s comfortable and the staff in the front are nice.
