Hyatt Hotels Corp. and Shebandowan Holdings are planning to open the Hotel La Compañía del Valle in Valle de Anton, Panamá, in early 2025. The property is approximately 50 miles west of its sister hotel, Hotel La Compañía in Casco Antiguo.
El Valle de Anton is a mountain town approximately 2,000 feet above sea level in the crater of an extinct volcano. The property will join The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, a complementary property to Hotel La Compañía in Casco Antiguo.
The hotel’s art and wellness house will be a unique sculpture park symbolizing five elements—fire, water, earth, metal and wood—with 200 pieces displayed around the gardens and public areas. The Elysium Spa covers 18,000 square feet with Roman baths, chocolate and wine therapy, a saltwater pool and a sundeck overlooking La India Dormida. The activity and racquet center will arrange hiking tours, e-bikes and horseback riding as well as time on the tennis, paddle and pickleball courts.
“We are delighted to further strengthen our relationship with Hyatt with the forthcoming Hotel La Compañía del Valle,” Fidel Reyes, managing director, La Compañia Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement.
“Panamá continues to see a strong trend in tourism and ecotourism and following the success of Hotel La Compañia in Casco Antiguo, we’re excited to unveil Hotel La Compañía del Valle, which will mark the first international-branded hotel in the countryside of Panamá at El Valle de Anton,” said Chris Lenz, CEO and founder of La Compañía Hotels & Resorts.
