Panama: Starwood’s W Hotels brand is set to open its first Central American property in Panama City.
Scheduled for an early 2016 opening, W Panama will be part of the 50-floor Evolution Tower, a mixed-use building in Panama City’s financial district.
It will offer “a fully integrated, contemporary lifestyle experience, including 203 stylish guest rooms, with 24 suites, three Wow suites, and one Extreme Wow suite (the W brand’s take on the Presidential Suite), two signature restaurants, the W Living Room experience (reinterpretation of the traditional hotel lobby), destination nightclub, WET pool deck, spa and 8,400 square foot WORKOUT fitness facility”.
Osvaldo Librizzi, co-president of the Americas, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, said: “Panama continues to see strong growth in both business and tourism development given its strategic location between North and South America and ease of access from around the world. We are excited to partner with Evolution Tower Corp, who has a strong presence in high-end construction and iconic developments. We are confident that this first W in Central America will become a new landmark in the city.”
“As part of Starwood‘s overall growth strategy, we continue to focus on expanding our nine leading brands into vibrant cities around the world, such as Panama City,” said Ricardo Suarez, vice president of Latin America acquisitions and development for Starwood Hotels & Resorts. “This hotel will mark our ninth in Panama, and we are very pleased to add a new brand to Starwood’s growing presence in the region.”
