What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

★★★★★
“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”
✓ Verified via feefo
★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting The Santa Maria, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Golf Resort. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Panama
Bristol Panama
The Bristol is a financial-district icon in Panama City — a Registry Collection hotel hung with work by around a hundred Latin American artists, sister to the coastal Buenaventura. Egyptian-cotton linens and marble baths run through some 127 rooms, and 48 Executive Residences add full condos among the largest in the city. The spa sits on the 25th floor with panoramic views and six treatment rooms, Salsipuedes serves Panamanian fusion, and butler service rounds out an urban-luxury stay.
Panama
Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort
Buenaventura is an Autograph Collection and Leading Hotels resort on the Riviera Pacífica, about eighty minutes west of Panama City inside a gated Pacific-coast community. An 18-hole, par-72 Jack Nicklaus course threads the grounds, several pools and swim-up bars step down to a private beach, and seven restaurants run from Panamanian cooking to teppanyaki. The Corotú Spa takes its name from the resort's old-growth tree; rooms carry modern Panamanian design and rise to villas with private pools and kitchens.
Panama
American Trade Hotel
American Trade Hotel is Ace Hotel Group's first independent hotel — a restored 1917 neoclassical palazzo on Plaza Herrera in Casco Viejo, the UNESCO Old Quarter. Fifty vintage-chic rooms pair white-wood panelling with Frette linens and outlooks over the plaza, the quarter or the Gulf of Panama. Danilo's Jazz Club, founded by the Grammy-winning Danilo Pérez, plays downstairs; Café Unido pours Panama Geisha; and the hotel's Cultural Engineers arrange the walkable Old Quarter in place of a conventional concierge.
