The Panamá Rey Hotel, under the same ownership for the past twenty-six (26) years, is presently in the midst of an amazing million dollar-remodeling project. With a history of solid successful business management behind it, and because the hotel is in David’s center of commerce, it is in an ideal location, and now is the perfect time to prepare the Panamá Rey Hotel as the premier hospitality center for the western highlands of Chiriqui. This modern renovation and major design improvement will give the hotel a highly contemporary, 21st century appearance. The renovations will involve a total revamping of the exterior and interior of the hotel from Accommodations, Guest Services, Restaurants Services, making it a hub for eco-tourism and attractive all-inclusive travel packages.

Panamá Rey Hotel is the tallest building in the city of David where you can experience the view from atop the hotel in the ‘mirador’ viewing area, which offers a superb, 360-degree view of the surrounding areas: Baru Volcano, the mountain ranges of Panama’s western highlands, and the Pacific Ocean. Well that is, after the two state-of-the-art “on top of the world” modern restaurants are completed. The entire eighth level will blossom into two magnificent restaurants: Mandalay Bistro, with Eurasian style cuisine, and Sky Pub and Grill, offering American style food which, when completed, will accommodate seating for 250 guests.

A View From the Top

The Panamá Rey Hotel began its renovations of its 100-room hotel in 2002 with an initial investment of $300,000 to upgrade part of the ground level of the hotel. A number of the interior rooms have already been completed. The Café Don Sui a small café was the first to be completely renovated and is adjacent to the hotel, with a new colorful oriental look, carried out using rich warm red color and wood interior. The café accommodates 25 diners.

The Skypub Bar and Lounge (Under Construction)

Next to be completed was the hotel lobby, revamping and opening it up to the street, then enhancing the look by adding a real teakwood reception welcome center. The renovation process does not stop here, with plans for the installation of a second hotel elevator, and of course, the hotel’s upper level with the two restaurants, as well as the new façade of the building and many other modifications.
