Dos Palmitos stands for a colonial style bed and breakfast, only 10 minutes away from the business center of Panama City, on the lower part of green Ancon Hill. Up to 1999 this privileged neighborhood was called the Canal zone.

Located right next to the Panama Canal, Albrook airport and shopping mall, but also near the international bus terminal.Tocumen International airport is a 25 minutes ride.The house itself was built in 1920 and served as a dwelling for US officials. At the time Panamanians  did not live in this area. This all changed when the Canal administration was handed over  to the Panamanian government in 1999. Now this part of Ancon is just a lovely green neighborhood with typical houses, beautiful gardens and waiving palm trees.

Part of the rain forest is still there and in the evening animals, like deer and agoutis leisurely walk the roads. Ancon hill is also home to hundreds of different species of birds Dos Palmitos takes pleasure in receiving bird watchers from all over the world, who just enjoy sitting on the garden terrace with their binoculars!A walk to the top of the hill also gives people a stunning sight of the city and the Canal. It is the beauty of this tranquil spot within bustling Panama City that makes the difference!
