The popular, upscale 1,463-room Hard Rock Hotel Panama Megapolis is centrally located with views of Panama Bay. Living up to its name, the 66-floor hotel truly feels like a megapolis, with four restaurants, eight bars and lounges, and a nightclub on the 62nd floor with panoramic views. The rooms and suites all have a similar contemporary, albeit somewhat underwhelming, design, featuring dark wooden furniture, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and walk-in showers. An infinity pool, full-service spa and salon, spacious fitness center, free Wi-Fi, and meeting spaces round out the features. Due to the hotel's size, however, guests can expect long wait times for the elevators. Past guests have also complained of noise from the clubs reaching rooms. The Bristol Panama Hotel is a smaller, more luxurious pick, but rates are slightly higher.

This 331-room upscale chain hotel of the Wyndham brand is the only hotel located at the Albrook Mall, the largest shopping center in Latin America. Despite this location, the hotel stands alone as a great option for corporate travel due to its 30,000-square-feet of event and meeting room space. It has a nice rooftop pool and modern rooms -- although their decor is a bit generic for this level of luxury. It’s a good choice for business travelers or those interested in the mall -- but otherwise, comparable hotels can be found in the city center, where all the real action is.

This family-owned, 141-room upper-middle-range hotel has many hallmarks of a boutique, including special decor and style, and individually decorated rooms.

Set among many comparable area hotels, the Hyatt Place Panama City Downtown is a clear step above the competition, thanks in part to being one of the city’s newest properties. It's bold and bright with excellent modern amenities, particularly for an urban, three-and-a-half-pearl property. It has a rooftop pool, a restaurant/bar, and a 24-hour market, plus free Wi-Fi, hot buffet breakfast, and valet parking. All 165 rooms are modern and spacious with separate seating areas, large, flat-screen cable TVs, and mini-fridges. Guests won’t want for much more, especially at these rates. DoubleTree By Hilton Panama City provides similar amenities for slightly less money, although it lacks the same contemporary panache.

This 125-room luxury hotel is a sophisticated pick that's centrally located in the financial and banking district of Panama City, with dining and shopping options in walking distance. The rooms are bright and airy, with large bathrooms and technology like iPod docks, big flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Facilities here include a Panamanian-inspired restaurant, chic bar and lounge, rooftop pool (though it’s small and wedged between two buildings), and an excellent spa with great city views. For business travelers or well-heeled tourists, this is a great luxury alternative to the many chain hotels in the area.

Built in 2014, the upscale Hilton Panama feels crisper, brighter, and more upscale than many Hilton brand hotels we've visited. With a modern decor, a prime location overlooking Panama Bay, and 30,000-square-feet of meeting space, it's arguably the business hotel for visiting executives. Leisure travelers will appreciate the full-service Eforea Spa and resort-style pool. The spacious 347 rooms include flat-screen TVs, Nespresso makers, and minibars, while upgraded rooms offer private balconies. It's hard to imagine guests wanting for much at this full-featured property, but, it's also hard not to feel nickel-and-dimed with charges for breakfast, Wi-Fi, and valet-only parking service. Panama Marriott Hotel offers many of the same amenities for less money.
