Mid-Range Hotels in Panama City | Location, Value & Comfort

The TRYP Panama Centro offers you a brand new hotel with a very fresh feel built with attention to detail and a modern, clean and chic architecture. As confirmed by the hotel's many reviews, look forward to experiencing great customer service and modern comforts.

We love its location within walking distance to 50+ of Panama City's most exciting restaurants, numerous bars, pubs, shops and casinos, but still with enough distance from the busiest part of Via Veneto where Panama City's nightlife is much more active. You can't beat the convenience of being only a 7 minute walk (550m) away from Iglesia del Carmen Metro (Subway) Station which puts you only 1 subway stop to our Spanish school and allows you to easily mobilize yourself to Albrook Mall and many other places in Panama City. It's also only a short drive to Casco Viejo, The Panama Canal, Multiplaza, Cinta Costera and the Causeway.

There are different rooms to suit each guest's needs. The TRYP Deluxe rooms come either with a king sized bed or two full size beds. The Premium rooms, which besides having a king size bed also have a full size sofa bed. The Fitness Room provides a treadmill and exercise clothing, giving you flexibility to keep up with your daily fitness routine while you're on the go (the hotel also has a fitness center). The Family Suite has one king bed and two bunk beds and is large enough to allow the whole family to stay together. And finally the Executive Suite has a modern sitting room in addition to a king size bed and sleeper sofa.

The philosophy behind TRYP Panama Centro leads their rooms to provide you with the best technology, including free high speed wifi as well as a wired Internet connection, allowing you to stay productive while you learn Spanish in Panama City. Its spacious rooms with an ample desk (except the Accessible TRYP room) and a comfortable working chair certainly make it very pleasant to do your Spanish homework at ease, catch up with emails, facebook or keep up with work back at home.

Every room is air conditioned and comes with a hair dryer, coffee maker and mini fridge which always come in handy during an extended stay. What a better way to start your day with a fresh cup of coffee while you take in the view of Panama City's modern skyline. Other modern conveniences in every room include 32-inch LCD TV, digital safe and alarm clock with iPod dock (Premium rooms include an iron as well).

TRYP Panama Centro's 92 guest rooms and suites abide to very strict standards which means your room will be exactly as promised, unlike other hotels where the quality and comfort of one room differs to the others.

Let's start with the rooftop pool and jacuzzi: what a better way to spend the afternoon after an intense day of Spanish studies? Now, if you want to stay in shape, TRYP Panama Centro incorporates the most innovative contemporary fitness equipment as well as steam room and sauna. And why not meet up with friends at the hotel's very own The Gastro Bar at 507, a vibrant restaurant with a pinch of Mediterranean flavor open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Premium Breakfast Buffet is also available at no additional cost and free parking is offered for all guests (not that you'll need a car with its convenient location).

If you're looking for a recently renovated hotel, with crisp and clean rooms, only a few minutes walk away from top rated restaurants and with some of the city's most popular pubs with artisanal beers just across the street, then you can't go wrong with Hotel Milan.

Considering the hotel's rooms and location, right in the middle of El Cangrejo neighborhood, a short walk to Habla Ya Panama City and the subway, its rates are a real bargain, especially the long week stays offered to our Spanish students.

We particularly love the Suites as they come with a mini fridge and hot tub. If you're only going to be in Panama City for a couple of weeks and don't need your own cooking space, then Hotel Milan is a great choice.

The Hotel Milan, which opened in 2004, was recently renovated last year and expanded from 53 to 107 rooms: 68 Singles, 2 Single Kings (for which they don't accept reservations), 18 Doubles, 5 Double Kings, 11 Suites, and 3 Family Suites all appointed with beautiful Spanish tile. All rooms at Hotel Milan are air conditioned and have en suite bathrooms, with hot water showers and hair dryers.

In each room you'll also be able to enjoy several amenities such as free Wi-Fi internet, flat-screen TV with Cable, direct dial phone, safe deposit box and a desk which comes quite in handy when doing your Spanish homework.

The Single Rooms have one full size bed to accommodate solo travelers or couples. If you're lucky enough when checking in, Hotel Milan might have a King Single available (additional cost) - they only have two of those. The Suites, which are the most suitable for our Spanish students, have a king size bed and are the only rooms that have a mini-fridge, which is extremely convenient for week long stays. The Suites' bathrooms also have a bath tub with hot water, perfect to relax at the end of your day. If you're group is large, the Family Suites have two full size beds and one king, allowing you to accommodate up to six guests (three couples) in a room. Then come the Double Rooms which have two full beds to accommodate up to two couples. The Double King rooms are a little bit more ample than the Doubles, have two king size beds, as well as a small sitting area with table and chairs in addition to the work desk.

Open daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., the hotel's onsite restaurant has breakfast ranging from $4 to $10 per plate and plenty of fresh fruits to choose from. It also has a vast sandwich ($3 - $7) and lunch/dinner menu complete with all sorts of appetizers and drinks. Any meal from the menu can be take to your room for only $1.

In the hotel's lobby you'll find the national newspapers delivered every morning and you'll have access to several desktop computers in case you need to quickly check your email or browse the web.

Two floors of private parking are also available for guests. Wake up call service is also available upon request.

Spacious rooms in the heart of downtown Panama City with enough amenities to make your stay an extremely convenient one with their apartment style suites make Las Vegas a true crowd pleaser amongst our Spanish students. And we can't stress enough how exciting this area of Panama City is for those who love to have fun after dark or just indulge in people watching from the hotel's vicinity.

As with the rest of our mid-range lodging options, being able to cheat the city's traffic always tops our list. At Las Vegas Hotel you'll always be within a short walk to an immense variety of restaurants, casinos, shops and mostly anything you would want from the modern metropolis that Panama City is. The Subway is also only a 5 minute walk away allowing you to get to other parts of the city without breaking a sweat or to Habla Ya PTY in time for class in case you're unexpectedly running late.

When staying in Panama City for several weeks, being able to cook your own meals in your own private space, is definitely a plus whether you're looking to save a bit of cash or specially if you just enjoy being able to entertain your own guests. The Suites at Las Vegas offer you exactly that possibility as each have their own kitchen area complete with fridge, stove, microwave, sink and cooking utensils as well as plates, cups and cutlery. The kitchen and living room area, which also has a table with 4 chairs that you'll also be able to use to do your homework, is separated from the bedroom which includes its own private bathroom with shower.

If you stay in a Suite (65m2), you can choose between having two double beds (for up to 4 guests) or a king sized bed (for singles or couples), or if your group is larger, certain suites also have a sofa bed (or two), making space for up to 6 guests. And when you book in advance, you'll be able to request a Suite with its own private balcony providing you with a third area to unwind and enjoy Panama City's tropical breezes and sunshine at its best.

The other lodging option offered by Las Vegas Hotel are its Studios (35m2) which are basically efficiency apartments. Their open plan design comprises one or two double beds (up to 2 guests), desk and chair, breakfast area with high chairs, small fridge, microwave and sink plus plates and cutlery. In a separate room you'll find a complete bathroom and shower.

Both the Studios and the Suites are air conditioned, come with a free wireless internet connection, have a safe large enough to store your laptop and Cable TV. Hair dryers can also be requested if you need one.

The Cafe Pomodoro restaurant is truly the perfect complement to your stay at Las Vegas Suites. We love its bohemian outdoor patio full of lush greenery ideal to splurge on fine Italian cuisine, or listen to live music while savoring a wide selection of gourmet dishes and fine wines from The Wine Bar. Chef Willy Diggelmann, who supervises the restaurant personally, has handpicked the list of wines to ensure you get the best match with each of your meals.

The hotel's business center with various desktop PCs in case you decide to not bring your own laptop, fitness gym, comfortable lobby and peaceful terraces with hammocks where complimentary continental breakfast is served daily are all amazing additions to the Las Vegas Suites package of amenities as if the conveniences of the rooms weren't enough.

The self service laundromat and ice machines also come very in handy for your mid or long term stays. Las Vegas Suites also has 24 hour security, front desk service and free parking in case you decide to rent a car for outings to nearby beaches in the Pacific or the Caribbean (yes, you can go to both in just one day) during the weekend.

The friendly staff at Las Vegas will work hard to please you and adapt to any needs you might have, whether it's with their supermarket shopping service, having your meal from Pomodoro with a relaxing glass of wine delivered to your room for your enjoyment from your balcony, or just giving you advice on any tourist issue related to your stay.
