Starwood Hotels flag to open two locales in country
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. said its Westin brand will debut in Panama, with two new properties slated to open there in the next two years. The 611-key Westin Playa Bonita Panama near Panama City will open in 2011, followed by the opening of the 198-key Westin Panama Hotel in 2012 in Panama City's Costa del Este business district.
The two new Westins in Panama will be operated as franchised properties under an agreement between Starwood and Bern Hotels & Resorts Panama. Starwood previously partnered with Bern to open Le Meridien Panama in September 2009.
“We are delighted to accelerate the expansion of our Westin brand in Latin America with the addition of these two new hotels in Panama,” said Nancy London, vice president and global leader for Westin Hotels. “The Westin brand is at a pivotal point in its life cycle, with an unprecedented opportunity for global growth. Fueled by the international appeal of its distinctive wellness positioning, Westin is well on its way to establishing itself as an international market leader.”
