Check availability Official websiteThe JW Marriott anchors Punta Pacifica, Panama City's premier waterfront development in the San Francisco neighborhood. The building stands 284.4 metres (933 ft) tall, making it the tallest structure in Panama and all of Central America. This architectural prominence places the hotel at the center of Panama City's most modern district.
The waterfront location features integrated facilities: a yacht club and pier offering direct water access, and daily ferry service to the Pearl Islands. The building itself is part of a 252,000-square-metre mixed-use development, the largest of its kind in Latin America, housing hotel rooms, residential units, retail shops, an office tower, and a casino alongside leisure facilities.
A defining feature of the waterfront setting is daily ferry service to the Pearl Islands, located off the Panamanian coast. This service provides guests direct access to explore the islands—a primary day-trip option for hotel visitors.
