With the extreme shortages in hotel accommodations in Panama, timing could not be better for the government approval for the project, which will bring significant investment and employment to the Pacific beach area. The destination resort will incorporate iconic contemporary architecture, cutting edge amenities including swim-up rooms, a Rock Spa, and a range of other innovations designed to create a new standard, not only for Panama but for the entire Caribbean/Central American region and the rest of the world. The Hard Rock Hotel Panama, a 499-room luxury condo hotel resort development on the Pacific Ocean has won approval to start condo sales from the Panama Government and Housing Authority.
