Panama City’s sea-focused escape

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Set on Panama City’s Pacific waterfront, JW Marriott Panama occupies a 70-story tower in Punta Pacifica, where the skyline and ocean compete for attention. The hotel’s scale is immediately apparent from its elevated position, but its connection to the water is more than visual; a private dock provides direct access to ocean excursions.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows put the Pacific and city skyline at the center of the experience, while rooms and suites pair generous proportions with private balconies in select categories. The property’s outdoor spaces continue the waterfront theme, with an infinity pool overlooking the bay and Panama City. Dining ranges from Masi, where ceviche and live-fire cooking anchor a distinctly Panamanian menu, to Cava 15, a wine bar with a more intimate setting. The prime address puts the city’s attractions within reach while always keeping the Pacific in view.

Our Inspector's Highlights

JW Marriott Panama has a private dock for boat excursions, giving guests another way to enjoy the ocean. The waterfront location also makes island and yacht outings a natural extension of a stay.
The two main infinity pools sit on the 13th floor, both facing the Panama City skyline and the ocean. One has a submerged level with built-in loungers, making it suitable for both laps and lingering in the water.
At Masi, chefs prepare Latin American and Panamanian dishes, including ceviche at a dedicated bar. Azul keeps things light with poolside dining and cocktails.
The Panama hotel rooms are spacious, starting at nearly 550 square feet, with ample natural light and pale woods that ensure an airy aesthetic. Balconies and double-vanity bathrooms add to the thoughtful amenities.
Suites up the luxury ante with expansive living rooms, kitchenettes and window-side bathtubs that let you soak up skyline views.

The Look

The Ocean Club, which houses the JW Marriott, is a 70-story structure that stands out among Punta Pacifica’s high-rises with its curved, oval-shaped walls. The luxury hotel occupies 24 floors of the mixed-use building, with residences, businesses and a casino filling the rest.
Floor-to-ceiling glass hugs the 12th-floor lobby with natural light, while warm wood paneling frames the elevators and mirrored chrome pillars add character to spaces. Turquoise abstract sculptures and low-profile lounge seating supply color and contrast.
Accommodations echo the hotel's waterfront setting with blond woods, crisp white bedding and soft neutral tones. Slatted wood screens and a floating wood headboard give texture, while globe-shaped pendants bring a warmer note to the otherwise light, streamlined rooms.
A sculptural staircase connects the lobby with Masi, creating a prominent architectural feature between the hotel's social spaces.
Cava 15 goes dark and moody with Louis Vuitton-designed interiors, including mahogany floors, leather seating, velvet drapery, gold accents and a black grand piano.
