A TIMELESS ELEGANCE
So does the Bristol live up to its formidable reputation for timeless elegance and exceptional service? Walking through the reception – itself a modern classic – with its skilful combination of contemporary art and colonially inspired décor, you’d have to agree. The place does have an air of elegance that spans time. And the service? The guest rooms and suites have personal butlers who combine charm and discretion, and who take care of every detail for you (and in many cases even anticipate your wishes). Nothing is too much trouble. And nothing is very far away, either. The Bristol is conveniently located in the most prestigious, financial area of Panama City – close to upmarket Balboa Avenue, the glamorous shops, boutiques and stores, as well as the sights and nightlife of buzzing Panama City.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
