TrinityHills Capital Partners with Marriott for Innovative Resort Development in Panama

Trinity Hills Valley, S.A., in collaboration with US-based developer TrinityHills Capital, announces a transformative franchise agreement with Marriott International, Inc. to establish a Tribute Portfolio hotel and residences in Lidice, Capira, Panama. This ambitious project aims to develop a 111-key hotel alongside 130 private residences, merging the unique ethos of the Tribute Portfolio brand with Marriott's esteemed guest experience standards. Managed by Remington Hospitality, the resort is strategically positioned approximately 45 minutes from Panama City and just over an hour from Tocumen International Airport, making it an attractive destination for both tourists and locals.

The project's location benefits significantly from ongoing infrastructure enhancements, including the expansion of the Pan-American Highway and the upcoming Panama Metro Line 3, which is projected to be completed by 2028. This development is particularly noteworthy as it represents the first mountain surf lagoon-anchored destination in the Western Hemisphere. The combination of adventure, luxury, and sustainability sets the stage for a unique offering in Panama's burgeoning tourism sector. Abdiel Basto, COO & Managing Director of TrinityHills Capital, underscores the project's commitment to innovative resort development, emphasizing the goal of providing an authentic experience that harmonizes with Panama's natural beauty.

The initiative is not only focused on delivering a high-quality hospitality experience but also highlights eco-friendly practices and community integration. The project’s success hinges on final approvals, but it signals a significant step towards enhancing Panama's upscale tourism offerings. By integrating sustainable practices and fostering community ties, TrinityHills Capital aims to create a destination that caters to environmentally conscious travelers while boosting local economic development. This landmark agreement marks a pivotal moment for both the company and the region, positioning Panama as a competitive player in the global tourism market.
