Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) and Shebandowan Holdings, S.A. announced the first phase of the opening of Hotel La Compañía del Valle. With 40 guestrooms and suites now available, and 30 set to debut by May 2025, Hotel La Compañia del Valle welcomes guests and World of Hyatt members to a new destination in central Panama surrounded by breathtaking biodiversity, mountains and landscapes. Part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, the hotel pioneers a new level of luxury in Panama’s Valle de Antón, a sought-after countryside retreat located 50 miles west of Panama City, sitting approximately 2,000 feet above sea level within the crater of an extinct volcano.
“The addition of Hotel La Compañía del Valle to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, marks a significant milestone in our brand’s expansion of luxury offerings in Panama,” said Fidel Reyes, Managing Director of La Compañía Hotels & Resorts. “As the first of its kind art and wellness-focused hotel in Panama and beyond, Hotel La Compañía del Valle sets a new standard for transformative hospitality, offering guests unparalleled experiences in the mountainside.”
Blending personalized service with a deep connection to art and wellness, Hotel La Compañía del Valle is a revitalizing retreat offering a one-of-a-kind sculpture park, an expansive state-of-the-art spa, inspiring activities, and refined culinary experiences.
Tuscan-Inspired Retreat in Panama’s Countryside
Drawing inspiration from Tuscany with a warm and timeless style, the hotel embraces the beauty of El Valle de Antón to create a sanctuary with a purpose. The hotel offers 70 spacious guestrooms and suites spread across four wings with balconies and terraces all overlooking the mountains, garden courtyard or surrounding common spaces. Guestrooms and suites are thoughtfully designed with a modern and elegant aesthetic featuring natural undertones to create an experience that is both refined and welcoming.
Art and Wellness
The hotel features a one-of-a-kind sculpture park curated with more than 200 art pieces placed around the corridors and public areas. Opening in May 2025 and serving as the heartbeat of the hotel is Elysium Spa, an expansive 18,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art spa offering natural healing treatments and experiences such as chocolate and wine therapy, a saltwater pool, and Roman baths, among many other amenities. The hotel is conveniently located just two miles from the town of El Valle, where guests can explore charming local cafés, historic churches, markets, shops, and more. For those seeking an outdoor adventure, there is an array of activities to choose from including scenic hiking, e-biking, horseback riding, misty forest trails, as well as an infinity pool, tennis, paddle, and pickleball.
Culinary Excellence
A dining destination for both guests and locals alike, Hotel La Compañía del Valle offers a unique selection of culinary experiences inspired by three distinct concepts: fire, earth, and wind. The gastronomy program, which features onsite restaurants each pegged to an element, is led by Executive Chef Patrice Jaumon whose experience spans Michelin-starred kitchens in France and acclaimed restaurants across London, Morocco, Bora Bora, Mexico, and Champagne. Known for his modern take on Panamanian cuisine, Jaumon helped establish Hotel La Compañía in Casco Antiguo and Villa Ana 1928 as the most sought-after culinary destinations in Panama City. Every meal is a culinary masterpiece crafting unforgettable dining experiences using fresh and seasonal ingredients, from Tiempo, which offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner with international flavors, to the upscale open-flame charcoal restaurant serving lunch and dinner, Fuego (opened March 2025), and the first Mediterranean and vegetarian restaurant in El Valle, Terra (opened March 2025).
Perfect Canvas for Unforgettable Celebrations
Hotel La Compañía del Valle offers the perfect backdrop for a wide range of celebrations, meetings, events and incentive groups. From intimate meeting rooms to a grand outdoor plaza, the hotel offers more than 11,000 square feet of event space that can accommodate all types of events including weddings, seminars, conferences, social celebrations, and gatherings.
As the second hotel to open under the La Compañía Hotels & Resorts portfolio, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Hotel La Compañía del Valle welcomes guests to enjoy a one-of-a-kind itinerary in Panama by experiencing the historic charm of its sister property, Hotel La Compañía in Casco Antiguo, before or after visiting the serene countryside of Valle de Antón. Bookable via the hotel at an additional cost, exclusive transportation ensures a smooth journey between two remarkable properties, creating a curated Panamanian experience.
