22. Jan, 2010 0 Comments

Albrook Inn is located 10 minutes from downtown, and close to the best tourist attractions such as: The Panama Canal, The Metropolitan National Park, domestic airport Marcos A. Gelabert, the bus Terminal, the Albrook Mall and other shopping malls, supermarkets, pharmacies, among other things.

A warm welcome and meal. Just a few minutes from the airport, the Albrook Inn offers the weary traveler amenities in abundance. The young staff is charming and helpful, and the kitchen brims with talent. And the birds! The traveling birder will be nearly overwhelmed as soon as you step out of the door. It is tempting to think of spending an entire day just on the grounds of the Albrook Inn, where the subtle beauty of flycatchers and tanagers competes with the gaudy toucans and parrots for the birder’s attention.

Located in an exclusive residential area, offering a relaxed atmosphere, combining the comfort and quality of its service with a beautiful scenery of nature and wildlife which makes it the only hotel in town with this feature, for visitors who wants to enjoy a stay in a hotel in Panama near the city but away from the bustle.

Albrook Inn is located in what was one of the 7 American military bases for the defense of the Panama Canal, it had 311 hectares and was built in 1922 in the area of Balboa. This military base received the Albrook name in honor of the 1st commander Frank Albrook. In 1924, it was called Albrook Field. Here was the first commercial airport located in the old Canal Zone between 1924 and 1961. Also served as the base for the US Air Force so it was used as a military base for warplanes between 1943 and 1989 and hosted the “Inter-Academy Air Force”, where more or less 26,000 Latin American pilots were trained.

In 2000 Panama takes control of the the Panama Canal and all the american military bases. The panamanian government and private investors have developed residential and commercial areas, this is the case of Albrook.
