About Waldorf Astoria Panama
- The UNESCO-listed Casco Viejo, Panama City's colonial old quarter, is about 15 minutes away from the hotel by taxi.
History
Waldorf Astoria Panama opened in 2013 as Hilton’s first Waldorf Astoria in Latin America, bringing the brand to Panama City’s Calle Uruguay area near the financial district. The hotel is marketed today as Waldorf Astoria Panama and is positioned around its spa, city views, and signature dining venues. I could confirm the current branded property page and opening year, but the reviewed primary and secondary sources did not clearly identify the original architect or interior designer. The property remains one of the brand’s core city hotels in the region.
The setting
Waldorf Astoria Panama anchors the corner of 47th Street and Calle Uruguay in Bella Vista, at the epicenter of Panama City's most celebrated dining and nightlife corridor. Uruguay Street's compact stretch concentrates the capital's finest restaurants, rooftop bars, and cocktail lounges within steps of the hotel entrance — a scene often compared to Miami's South Beach in energy and sophistication. One block south, the Cinta Costera promenade fronts Avenida Balboa and the Bay of Panama, while the banking district's glass towers are a short walk north along Calle 50. This 36-floor tower shares its block with a cluster of luxury properties, and the UNESCO-listed Casco Viejo historic quarter lies roughly 15 minutes by taxi. 5-minute walk to Federal Reserve Bank.
