CASCO ANTIGUO, Panama – December 16, 2021 – Marking the completion of a meticulous seven-year restoration project, Hotel La Compañía will officially open its doors spring of 2022.

Where History Meets Design
An UNESCO World Heritage site, Hotel La Compañía will offer guests a rare look into Panama’s deep-rooted past through a design-focused experience centered around three distinct chapters in the hotel’s rich history – Spanish Colonial, French Colonial, and Beaux Arts. The hotel, originally built in the 17th century as a Jesuit convent, is being delicately restored by an expert team of designers, architects, and historians to create a living museum where the history of Panama will be showcased through a bold and contemporary design concept. Situated alongside the majestic ruins of a 300-year-old church, the hotel will be a romantic blend of old and new, where the design, craftsmanship, and cultural influences come to life with modern touchpoints.
