The Megapolis Hotel Panama stands in the modern part of the city, in the Bella Vista area between the bay and the business district, where glass towers, restaurants and shops line the main avenues. The hotel was previously known as the Hard Rock Hotel Panama Megapolis, and it remains one of the larger hotels in the area, a tower of guest rooms and public spaces aimed at both leisure visitors and business travellers. For anyone who wants to be in the modern city rather than the historic quarter, it is a convenient base.
Location and getting around
The district is one of the most practical in Panama City for visitors. The Cinta Costera promenade, a long waterfront path popular with walkers and cyclists, is within reach, and the restaurants and nightlife of Calle Uruguay and the surrounding streets are close by.
Casco Viejo is a short taxi or ride-hailing trip away, and so are the shopping malls and the main avenues of the business district. Tour operators can collect guests from hotels in this area for canal and day trips, so a base here works well for a visit built around excursions.
Facilities
As a large city hotel, the Megapolis offers a range of facilities typical of the category, including restaurants and bars, a swimming pool area, a fitness centre, meeting rooms and a front desk that operates around the clock. The tower format means that many rooms have views, and higher floors can look over the bay, the skyline and the Pacific. Check the details of the facilities that matter most to you, such as the pool hours, breakfast arrangements and parking, when you book, since they can change.
Who it suits
Business travellers, couples and families who value comfort, a central modern location and the ability to eat out easily in the evening. It is not the choice for travellers who want colonial atmosphere, but it makes a good counterpoint to a night or two in Casco Viejo, and the bay district is the best area for restaurants, shops and easy transport. Because room types and prices vary by date, compare options and check the latest guest reviews before choosing.
