Central America’s Largest TRYP by Wyndham Hotel Opens in Panama
PANAMA CITY, Panama – Wyndham Hotel Group, the world’s largest hotel company with approximately 7,410 hotels and part of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN), today announced the opening of the 331-room TRYP by Wyndham Panama Albrook Mall, marking the select-service hotel brand’s largest hotel in Central America and second property in Panama City, Panama. Its addition further supports the company’s steady expansion in the Latin America region.
Owned by Corporacion Hotelera de Panama, S.A., and managed by Bristol Hospitality Group, the newly constructed hotel puts guests in the heart of Panama City, close to major businesses and attractions and adjacent to Albrook Mall, Central America’s largest shopping center.
