The hype
Travelers love the bold decor and breakfast buffet but are divided on the loud music and club-like atmosphere.

$148-251/ ніч
Забронюйте це, якщо You want the 'business mullet' of hotels: corporate tower in the front, thumping DJ pool party in the back.
Чому люди це люблять
- Vibrant, Instagram-ready design that breaks the beige business hotel mold
- Rooftop 'Wet Deck' with panoramic skyline views and energetic social scene
- Central location in the financial district, steps from Uruguay Street nightlife
Короткий огляд: A visually stunning tower where the bass from the rooftop bar might vibrate your bed frame on lower floors.
Переглянуто @saramontoyam: My sister and I booked a suite at W Panama to recharge, and it was exactly what we needed. From dancing in our robes to soaking in that incredible tub overlooking the skyline, every moment felt special. The rooftop pool at night is a total vibe—don't miss it!

Reality check
The pool looks amazing in photos but is often described as 'freezing' and 'underwhelming' due to the temperature.
- You feed off high-energy environments and DJ beats while you sunbathe
- You need a high-end gym; the 'FIT' center is massive and well-equipped
- You appreciate bold, colorful design over traditional luxury

ЧаПи та скриті поради
Все, що вам дійсно потрібно знати перед бронюванням.
Is the pool actually heated?
No. Multiple reviews confirm it is surprisingly cold, often described as 'freezing' in the afternoon shade.
Can I walk to Casco Viejo?
No. It's a 15-20 minute Uber ride depending on traffic. The hotel is in the modern financial district.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. The buffet at Moró costs approximately $15-35 per person unless booked in a specific package.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, very. The 'P.A.W.' program welcomes pets up to ~40lbs for a fee of around $100-$125 per stay.
How much is parking?
Self-parking is approximately $25/day; Valet is available for a higher rate.
Is there a resort fee?
No mandatory daily resort fee was found in current booking terms, just standard taxes and service charges.
Поради знавців
- ✨
La Cajita has 'bucket of beer' specials and killer burgers (~$16) if you want a casual dinner without leaving the hotel.
- ✨
The gym (FIT) has floor-to-ceiling windows; go at sunset for a workout with a view.
- ✨
Ask for a 'Cool Corner' room if available; the layout feels significantly larger than standard rooms.
5 речей, які варто знати перед вашим виїздом
💡The elevators can be confusing—you must transfer at the 15th-floor lobby to reach guest rooms.
💡The 'open concept' bathroom means the sink is literally next to the bed in some room layouts.
💡The AC is powerful—sometimes too powerful. The common areas can feel like a meat locker.
💡Room service prices are high, but the portion sizes are generally massive.
💡You might smell 'sewage' odors in the bathroom drains in certain rooms—run the water immediately upon check-in to test.
