Waldorf Astoria Panama

A city base on Calle Uruguay with a seventh-floor pool and spa

About Waldorf Astoria Panama

Waldorf Astoria Panama is a city hotel on Uruguay Street in Panama City, in the restaurant and nightlife district near the financial center. It has a seventh-floor pool with a hot tub, a spa with a couples-only space, and the Matiz terrace restaurant. Tocumen airport is 23 kilometers away, and the hotel runs no shuttle.

Waldorf Astoria Panama stands on Uruguay Street, the strip of restaurants and bars that gives this part of Panama City its evening life. The financial district is close, and Casco Viejo is 5.7 kilometers away, so the hotel works as a central base for a first visit. Rooms and suites look over the city, and the studio suites face Panama Bay and the Pacific. Several suites add a full kitchen and a dining table.

The pool sits on the seventh floor, joined to a hot tub and finished in gold tiles, with drinks and snacks brought to your lounger. The spa has a couples-only space and works local ingredients into its treatments. Matiz serves a buffet breakfast and dinner on its terrace, Peacock Alley is the cocktail bar, and the Bungalow handles light meals beside the pool.

Arriving from Tocumen takes a little planning. The hotel has no shuttle, so line up a transfer before you land.
