The Executive Hotel
Panamas home away from home for todays business traveler --- and more
If you focus on the word Executive with stereotypes from yesteryear fixed in your mind, you may not get it. If you ARE an executive in todays business and professional world, you will fully appreciate it.
Yes, its called the Executive Hotel, and its right in the middle of Panama Citys banking district. But visit there at any given time and you might find a local womens group occupying a corner of the restaurant for their monthly lunch. Or a group of diplomats, professors and activists may be gathered in one of the upstairs meeting rooms to discuss foreign policy and international law. Or retired firefighters could be holding a convention. Or journalists for a major US daily might be plotting their next days moves beside the pool. Or a couple who emigrated from Panama to the United States 20 years ago may be resting in between excursions in which theyre discovering the old country and introducing it to their kids. Or maybe all of these things will be taking place at the same time.
Comfortably mixed in among these guests, you will find actual business executives at the Executive Hotel. They wont be the pinstriped clichés of yesteryear, men to whom money is no object, who are out to impress potential clients and associates with conspicuous consumption and the hard sell. They will be men and women like you, folks who demand a pleasant and efficient place to work while in Panama City, people to whom money very definitely IS an object, modern business leaders whose choice of hotel is a soft sell advertisement of their taste and common sense to other people who are also serious about their business.
   
The Executive Hotel is small, intimate and business-friendly. You can plug in your laptop and get fast and free Internet service in the privacy and comfort of your room, or else use all the conveniences of the hotels business center. You can maintain your fitness programs at the gym. You can meet important clients and partners at an instants notice in the 24-hour coffeeshop. If necessary you can pull an all-nighter with the help of the coffeemaker thats provided in every room, with breaks to take in the Panama City skyline from your open-air balcony and all the comforts to recover from the ordeal.
If you can help it, you wouldnt want to come to Panama City and see nothing more than your hotel. Thats where the Executive Hotels location offers maximum advantage. Guests are within walking distance of an amazing selection of great restaurants, the citys best shopping district, and the clubs, bars, casinos and theaters that offer the nightlife that suits your tastes.
If you can help it, you wouldnt want to come to Panama and see nothing more than the capital, either. On that score, the Executive Hotel will help you to arrange jungle excursions, fishing trips, visits to cultural sites around the country. If you are the more independent sort of visitor, the hotels free parking for your company or rental car also makes it easier to get to know Panama.
So yes, its the Executive Hotel, where modern executives go because they enjoy being treated like theyre staying with good friends, with all the services they need and rates that make sense at the bottom line.
But you dont HAVE to be an executive to appreciate it.
