This captivating hotel is located near large shopping centers, entertainment hotspots and the vibrant nightlife of the city. Also nearby are many of the country’s cultural and geographical attractions. The Panama Canal, considered by many to be the eighth wonder of the world, put Panama on the map and gave this country strategic and logistical stature in the world. The country also enjoys a privileged position for air travel communications between North and South America. Its airport, Tocumen (PTY), has become the most important air travel hub in the region. 

Stay in one of the newest and most luxurious hotels in Panama City, a project as cosmopolitan as the city itself. Riu Plaza Panama Hotel offers a great selection of exceptional services, designed both for business travelers as well as leisure travelers, all with the uniform excellence that characterizes RIU hotels

    Extraordinarily long checkin

    5 star hotels shouldn’t take 24 minutes to checkin. We had checked in online, entered the checkin queue at 1507 then were finally handed keys after 1530. The manager seemed more interested in counting receipts than helping her staff. Again, even by RIU slow check in standards this was very poor.

    Always a pleasure to stay here

    I stay in Hotel Riu every year when I come to Panama for work. It is modern, it is clean, the rooms are spacious, and it has the best breakfast buffet in the entire city. The people are friendly, and the bar is well stocked. Really everything you could ask for in a hotel.

    Texas visiting Panama

    Great stay. Hotel is 5 star. Excellent breakfast buffet and well worth adding to your room fee. Cocktail bar is also really good. Location is close to many tourist sites and also within walking distance to many other stores & restaurants. Safe location.
