Le Meridient Panama is a modern, contemporary building located on the edge of the Bay of Panama, boasting views of the Pacific Ocean and the Panama City skyline.

The hotel features a double height entry with an overturned glass pyramid that reflects vibrant colors throughout the sleek black granite lobby. Offering 111 guestrooms, including 29 suites, the hotel also has 4,000 square feet of function space for corporate meetings and events as well as intimate social affairs.

In addition, Le Méridien Panama features a signature restaurant, Latitudes, by Panamanian Chef Anibal Chiari, a contemporary fusion concept of international cuisine that can seat 75 guests, including a communal table and private dining room. Latitudes also offers Le Méridien signature breakfast, which includes reinvented favourites with components developed by three-star Michelin chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and Coffee Culture, a global programme developed in partnership with illycaffè.

The hotel also offers spa treatments in the Sensory Spa by Clarins with six treatment rooms and a fitness center, outdoor pool and terrace, overlooking the Bay of Panama.

“Le Méridien Panama marks a milestone in Le Méridien’s global re-launch and transformation into a lifestyle brand as we open in Central America for the first time and celebrate our 15th new Le Méridien hotel since Starwood acquired the Le Méridien brand in November 2005,” said Eva Ziegler, Global Brand Leader, Le Méridien and W Hotels Worldwide.

Le Méridien Panama also showcases the newly introduced global Le Méridien arrival experience, curated by international arts provocateur Jérôme Sans, the hotel brand’s cultural curator since 2006, and developed together with members of the LM100, Le Méridien’s family of cultural innovators.

Le Méridien arrival experience, designed to make the first ten minutes of the guest’s stay memorable, consists of four signature elements, including the transitional portal, which is a visual and audio “wall” of art and sound at the entrance of the hotel, developed by artist and LM100 Member Younès Rahmoun. His role within LM100 originated when he was engaged by Le Méridien brand to create the art pieces, entitled “Zahara 77 Flowers,” “Nisf Sahâba” (Half Cloud) and “Sahâba / Massar” (Cloud / Rangelands) for various Le Méridien transitional portals around the world.
