La Compania The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
Hotel La Compañia (HLC) is set to become a true icon of Panama’s along with the Panama Canal and Casco Viejo, where the hotel is located. Casco Viejo, the historic area of Panama City was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.
What makes HLC so unique is the time and care spent on painstakingly restoring each and every piece of brick, stone and vintage wood from the 17th century for the façade as well as in the various niches of the building. The only way for the colourful history of Panamá to come alive, live on and be enjoyed by locals and the experienced international traveller. The restoration will take into account the history of the site and that of Casco Viejo.
Situated over a city block, Hotel La Compañia encompasses of four buildings located in Avenida A, Calle 8 and Avenida Central. A little secret, which can only be viewed once within the four walls of the hotel, spills out to depict Casco Viejo’s largest internal courtyard. This peaceful internal oasis stands adjacent to the ruins of the Jesuit church of 1739. In fact, the oldest building of the Hotel, originally created as a Jesuit mission, was constructed in 1688.
Across the street is the San Jose church from 1675, home to the famous “Golden Altar” which legend has it was painted black to prevent it from getting into the clutches of English pirate Henry Morgan when he attacked the city. And bordering on the opposite side of Avenida A, is the impressive twin towered Cathedral of Panamá, one of the largest churches in Central America. The foundation stone is thought to have been laid in 1668.
Because of the three very distinct influences and turmoil the country experienced between the 16th and the early 20thcentury, it only seemed natural and just to capture the essence of these cultures. The colonial architecture of the Spanish, French and the American plantation will be evident in the three parallel wings of Hotel La Compañia.
Hotel La Compañia is part of the Hyatt’s Unbound Collection and consists of 88 deluxe rooms, spacious luxurious suites and the very unique Henry Morgan Suite located on the top floor of the French Wing. There is a total of five restaurants and two bars including a roof top bar with magnificent 360-degree views of the city and the Pacific Ocean.
Recreational facilities include a roof top pool with sun deck, massage and spa services at the HLC Spa also located at the roof top and for the exercise conscious, a complete Health Club.
Conference and banquet facilities are also available for meetings, private events as well as weddings.
Hotel La Compañia is anchored in the cultural epicentre of Panama. From its shell and location, the hotel allows us to understand the story of the city itself and witness the effect of events that marked and shaped today’s Panama. It is an opportunity for us to offer to you to experience it in our hotel.
Construction for the Hotel began in December 2018 and doors were opened in early 2022.

Hotel de la semana: La Compañía The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
Hotel La Compañía (HLC) está destinado a convertirse en un ícono en Panamá a la par del Canal de Panamá y el Casco Viejo, dónde está ubicado el hotel. El Casco Viejo, el centro histórico de la Ciudad de Panamá, fue declarado World Heritage Site por la UNESCO en 1997.
El tiempo y el esfuerzo dedicado en restaurar cada ladrillo, calicanto y madera de las fachadas del siglo 17, serán los ingredientes para catalogar el hotel como único en su clase. HLC será la opción para revivir la historia de Panamá por los locales y turistas experimentados. Los trabajos de restauración ha tomado en consideración la historia de la propiedad y del Casco Viejo.
Ubicado en una manzana entera, el Hotel La Compañía está compuesto de cuatro edificios sobre la Ave. A, Calle 8va y Ave. Central. Un hermoso secreto se esconde dentro de las cuatro fachadas posteriores del proyecto, enmarcando el courtyard más grande del Casco Viejo. Este courtyard, considerado un oasis, está ubicado justo al lado de las ruinas de la iglesia de los Jesuitas con fecha de 1739. Un hecho importante es que el edificio más viejo del hotel, fue originalmente construido por los Jesuitas, en 1688.
Diagonal al hotel está la iglesia de San José construida en 1675, donde está el famoso Altar de Oro. Las leyendas dicen que este altar fue con brea para evitar que fuera robado cuando el pirata Inglés Henry Morgan atacó la Ciudad de Panamá. En el lado opuesto de la manzana, está la Catedral de Panamá considerada una de las catedrales más grandes de Centro América. Se estima que las primeras piedras de la catedral se pusieron en 1668.
La historia de Panamá entre el siglo 16 y siglo 20 se define por la influencia de tres culturas muy distintas y al hotel le pareció importante capturar estas influencias en el diseño de interiores. La cultura francesa, española y americana serán evidentes en las tres alas del Hotel La Compañía.
Hotel La Compañía será parte de Hyatt´s Unbound Collection y tendrá 88 habitaciones delux, suite de lujos espaciosas y una suite principal de Henry Morgan en el último nivel del ala francesa. Habrá un total de cinco restaurantes y dos bares, incluyendo un roof top bar con una maravilla vista de 360 grados de la Ciudad de Panamá y el océano Pacífico.
Amenidades recreativas incluye una piscina y solario en el roof top, masajes y servicios de spa también ubicado en el roof top. Salones para banquetes y conferencias estarán disponibles para eventos privados y bodas, entre otros.
Hotel La Compañía está naciendo en el centro cultural de Panamá. Considerando las ruinas existentes y su ubicación, el hotel nos cuenta la historia de la ciudad y como fue testigo de la evolución y eventos que crearon el Panamá de hoy. Es una oportunidad para nosotros ofrecer esta historia a través de la experiencia de hospedarse en nuestro hotel.
WHERE HISTORICAL CASCO VIEJO ARCHITECTURE MEETS PANAMA'S MODERN LUXURY
Three different eras of Panama history come to life at Hotel La Compañia, where opulent modern design revitalizes a landmark location. Each of our three wings restores a piece of the old town (Casco Antiguo) to the height of contemporary luxury. Choose a beautifully curated room in the French Colonial wing, built by Jesuit priests in 1739; the Spanish Colonial wing, dating back to 1688; or the Beaux-Arts rooms in the American wing, which was once a high-end department store constructed in 1905.
Our five in-house restaurants draw on the same historical inspiration, creating the stone Spanish church interior of El Santuario or the old-school wood and brass furnishings of the American Bazaar. Head to the rooftop pool and bar for the ideal vantage point of a thriving Casco Antiguo neighborhood, where nightlife, upscale dining, and world-renowned archaeological sites live side-by-side.
Drawing inspiration from French, Spanish, and American architectural traditions, the 88 rooms at Hotel La Compañia are a tribute to the past that also delights the modern eye. Each of our hotel’s three wings features a different design, but they share a bright, airy sensibility and a host of luxe amenities.
