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.

Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
