ORHO HOTEL BOUTIQUE PANAMA

New boutique hotel with heavy Indian deco and feel. Oldish with its wood trims and full-length lattice doors in the rooms. Nice, cute front garden. The hotel doesn’t have a front sign yet so look for a red house across from Universidad EuroAmericana. Make sure the hotel knows of the time of your arrival as it is a big house and the staff my not hear you arrive as the front street gate is locked at all times.

This beautiful and unique guest house style hotel is located in the safe and walkable Marbella neighborhood of Panama City, a financial and medical district with many restaurants and cafes nearby. Despite its central urban location, the ORHO is a quiet oasis in the city. Rooms are beautiful and unique, our bed was SO comfortable, and we felt welcomed with genuine Panamanian warmth and respect. The staff organized transportation to and from both Tocumen and Albrook airports for us, waited for us when our flight was delayed, took our bags, and even brought us cold waters upon arrival. I felt completely safe and comfortable traveling with just my teen daughter. It is a hidden gem, but could be a bit difficult to find if you are driving yourself. I used the Tremendo Perro Café (which is next door and provides a discount to hotel guests!) as a landmark for our Uber excursions, so now you can use that too. :)

Such a cool hotel! Very neat decor. The staff was top notch! 110% welcoming and willing to show me some places to go in the city. Extremely accommodating for my later check in and very early check out! Would stay again!

The hotel is not visible, and no signage available. We were unable to find it, even though we were apparently right in front of it.

Did not have room - overbooked & had to find a different hotel. The manager was VERY kind, but I lost over an hour trying to resolve the issue and ended up spending more money on another place that was not as nice.
