This is the choice for an infinity-edge rooftop pool at a 4-star hotel on Vía Argentina. A bar by the pool serves cocktails. Hours, floor and non-guest access aren't published.
The pool
This is an outdoor infinity pool on the roof, with panoramic views of Panama City. A rooftop bar next to it serves cocktails. Floor, hours and non-guest access aren't published.
Our take
Best Western Plus Panama Zen is one of two hotels on our list that name an infinity pool on the roof, but it says less than Gran Evenia about who can use it. Gran Evenia sets a price and a weekday window; this hotel sets neither.
A separate terrace restaurant, Sky Bar & Restaurante THE ROOF, is on floor 15 with city views. Whether it connects to the pool deck isn't stated, so don't assume the pool is on that floor. The gym is open 24 hours.
Good to know
- Outdoor infinity pool on the roof

The catches

To visit without staying, ask the hotel directly. The bar next to the pool has cocktails, but whether it is open to the public isn't stated.
Tips
- Email or call to ask about non-guest access and pool hours before booking.
- February to April are the best three months to swim in Panama City.
Before you go. Get pool hours and visitor rules from the hotel directly, since neither is published.
