Panamonte Inn & Spa: Boquete's finest country inn
The Panamonte Inn & Spa remains Boquete's landmark country inn and is Panama's only hotel included in the list of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. The historical hotel opened its doors in 1914, the year in which the Panama Canal's construction was finalized. Its old world ambience has an antique charm and is renowned for its hospitality, impeccable service, and exquisite cuisine. The decoration, paintings, furniture and wall hangings give it a superior and elegant, yet warm and welcoming touch. Without any doubt The Panamonte Inn & Spa is definitively a first class accommodation option.
The Panamonte's guestrooms are spread throughout the property, surrounded by gorgeous and beautifully tended gardens that give each morning a delightful scent and warm feeling. This timeless gem has been freshly renovated but maintains its unique magnificence and feels that evokes a quieter, more peaceful era. The completed rooms now feature air conditioning (although because of Boquete's pleasant climate you will not need it!), DirectTV, hair dryers, room safes and internet connectivity, but for those who seek to "get away from it all," the TVs in the guestrooms may be hidden behind the closed doors of a furniture console. The whole inn is surrounded by a white picket fence, and decorated with chintz and country-manor furnishings.
Three stylish Garden Junior Suites are tastefully decorated with locally produced teak furniture and an elegant decor reminiscent of the early Panama Canal days. These suites are the largest rooms, with oversized bedrooms, terraces situated high enough to view the lush mountainous surroundings, plush Queen-size beds with 500-count linens, and deluxe bathrooms with glass-walled showers.
The Garden Honeymoon Suite is the best room and a favorite with newlyweds, romantic couples, and those seeking to splurge a little and pamper themselves. The Suite boasts a spacious bedroom with a King-size bed, 500-count linens, a light, airy ambiance that opens onto a large private patio surrounded by gardens, and an oversized bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and glass-walled shower. A private fireplace adds to the charm and romance of the setting.
The brand new Garden Terrace Rooms are set back in the gardens of the Panamonte, boasting beautiful mountain views and offering an escape from the fast-paced life. All Terrace rooms are the same size, but slightly smaller than the Garden Suites, yet all are tastefully furnished and exceptionally comfortable, with King-size beds and a small, private outdoor seating area.
The Fresal 3-bedroom apartment, located just across the street from the hotel, is perfect for families or a group of friends. El Fresal sleeps a total of 6 guests, and features one master bedroom with a private bathroom, and two bedrooms with twin beds and a shared bathroom. The apartment has a living area, fireplace, and a small outdoor porch with sitting area.
Ingrid Bergman so loved the Panamonte that she visited it twice, and she choose this Honeymoon Suite as her pied a tierre. An original room of the Panamonte that is slightly larger than a standard, this room is tucked away on the second story with a private entrance. The Bergman suite is perfect for couples who seek to indulge in the privacy of a romantic rendezvous. The suite comes with a king-size bed.
The Standard rooms are small and cozy, and are the original rooms of the Panamonte Inn. The standard rooms come with twins or a queen-sized bed.
This country inn has been owned and run by the Elliot-Collins family since the 1940s and they have harmoniously made a blend between their Scandinavian traditions and the friendliness and natural beauty of Boquete. The Panamonte has a wonderful staff which is extremely attentive, very friendly and will always deliver a personalized service making you feel warm and welcome. One of the few full-service lodging option in Boquete, it offers a deluxe SPA and regionally renowned gourmet restaurant.
The Panamonte Restaurant is the finest gourmet dining option in the province of Chiriqui and amongst the best in Panama. And be sure to not miss the Panamonte Bar, with inside and outdoor fireplaces that will give your stay a cozy and romantic feel. The Panamonte has a more formal dining room and a fireside lounge, where guests may order from the regular menu or opt for a lighter meal from the bar menu. On Sundays the Panamonte offers a special Brunch Menu.Every year, the Panamonte hosts several Food & Wine Festivals, with invited guest chefs from the finest restaurants in Panama City. In the true European style, the festivals begin in the cocktail lounge with champagne and hors d'oeurves, followed by a 5-course gourmet dinner in the dining room with meals paired with fine wines for a genuine feast for the senses.
The Panamonte Spa is now under new management by the highly respected Haven Spa, whose team has over 30 years of experience (UK, Australia, and Malta) in addition to 15 years of full time education. A peaceful ambiance and deluxe spa treatments invite you to relax and rejuvenate your senses. Spa services include 
sauna, steam room, signature therapy being, geo-thermal hot and cold stone therapy amongst others.
The Panamonte Inn & Spa is located just outside the center of Boquete, far enough away that traffic noise is not an issue, yet only an easy 5 minute walk to downtown. To get to the Panamonte go up the main street, pass Boquete's center, continue uphill from San Juan Bautista's Catholic Church, and take a right at the Y-junction. You will find the Panamonte Inn & Spa to your left 200 meters ahead.
