Calle Gaspar Hernandez Y, Vía Argentina, Panama City, 581 Panama

Hotel Overview

Panama City moves fast, and its financial district is where much of that energy concentrates, in the towers along Via Argentina and the surrounding blocks of international business, fine restaurants, and the lively nightlife that the area is known for. Best Western Plus Panama Zen Hotel sits within that zone on Via Argentina y Calle Gaspar O. Hernandez, 16 kilometers from Tocumen International Airport, making it equally practical for arriving travelers and those based in the city.

Rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with cable TV, safe, coffee maker, and desk. The rooftop pool with city views provides an elevated place to decompress after a day of meetings or exploration, and the gym, business center, and meeting rooms support the needs of corporate guests. Panamanian cuisine is served in the on-site restaurant, and free high-speed Wi-Fi and parking are included.

Banco General headquarters is just over a kilometer away, and Copa Airlines corporate offices are under ten kilometers. Shopping malls, the casino district, and the bars and restaurants of the area surround the property. Whether visiting for the Canal, for business in the Corredor Sur corridor, or simply to experience one of Central America's most cosmopolitan capitals, this hotel places you at the center of Panama City's professional and social life.
