Donald Trump marked his entry into Latin American real estate Wednesday with the Panama City opening of his 70-story resort, the tallest building in Latin America.
The sail-shaped structure, soaring 284 meters (932 feet) into the sky, is a luxury resort and residential address that added to a real estate boom in Panama.
The Trump Ocean Club reflects “the modern sensibility of the new generation of luxury travel,” the company said in an invitation to the inauguration of the resort, where the cheapest room costs $300 per night and homes sell for $250,000 to $1 million.
Wyndham has become the latest hotel chain to open a new property in Panama, with this week’s launch of the Wyndham Garden Hotel Panama City.
The 70-room hotel, located in the city’s quiet and exclusive Obarrio neighbourhood, is yet further proof of the hotel boom in Panama, which is currently has more properties under construction than anywhere else in Central and South America.
The property is aimed at both business and leisure travellers, with 32-inch flatscreen televisions, marble bathrooms, a fitness center, restaurant and bar.
Luxury hotel brand Trump is to debut a new hotel in Panama in 2011, marking its first foray into the rapidly expanding Latin America market.
Trump Ocean Club will be perched above Panama Bay. The building stands 70 stories tall, a tower evoking a majestic sail fully deployed in the wind.
Trump Ocean Club‘s 369 hotel rooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows, include 47 suites, range from approximately 526 to 1,561 square feet.
