Scene
Stylish boutique with excellent service, set in a lively neighborhood
This wedge-shaped, three-story building stands out from its neighbors with a fresh, white exterior, balustrades lining each floor, and greenery dripping off the roof. The tiny lobby offers little comfort and there are no elevators, but the highlight of the hotel is the spacious, modern rooms. Guests rave about Las Clementinas for the excellent, personalized service and intimate atmosphere. The neighborhood has a party vibe -- especially at night -- making sleep difficult for some, even with the earplugs provided. The lack of on-site entertainment and dining lures primarily couples, though some families come as well.
Location
In the Casco Viejo neighborhood of Panama City, a lively area with plenty to do
Las Clementinas is in the vibrant Casco Viejo, in a UNESCO World Heritage site. The neighborhood is in southern Panama City, on a tiny peninsula jutting into Panama Bay. It is an area with a rich cultural and historic vibe, and guest can easily find restaurants, shops, and sites within steps of the hotel. The hotel is a two-minute walk from Iglesia La Merced, a beautiful church and one of the oldest in the city. It is also a two-minute walk to a supermarket, a casino, and several nightclubs. The hotel is a five-minute walk from the National Theater of Panama, six minutes from the Panama Canal Museum, and a 10-minute walk from the National Culture Institute. It is a 12-minute walk to the nearest bus stop from the hotel. Those with a car can use valet parking at the hotel, and take the 17-minute drive to the Miraflores Locks, where they can see ships traversing the canal locks and visit a small museum on the history of the canal. Albrook International Airport is a seven-minute drive from the hotel, and Tocumen International Airport is a 30-minute drive away.
Rooms
Standard Rooms, plus spacious apartments with kitchens and living areas
There are three typical hotel rooms, plus six spacious apartment-style units called Chambers with kitchens, dining and living areas, and separate bedrooms. Hardwood floors, brick wall accents, and neutral tones create a warm and relaxing backdrop, while pops of colorful design in artwork and a few pieces of furniture make for a lovely, contemporary look. Every unit except for the Standard Room has a furnished balcony. On the downside, several past guests have complained of late-night outside noise reaching the rooms and being an issue. All rooms offer modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, air-conditioning, coffeemakers, and minibars, while Chambers add kitchens with full-size refrigerators, stovetops, and microwaves. Bathrooms have stunning colorfully tiled shower stalls and a bidet showerhead next to the toilet. Robes, slippers, and hairdryers are provided, as are free soaps, shampoo, and lotion.
