A sweetheart of a hotel, DeVille has won a de-
voted clientele for its classy, tasteful digs and sterling service. Beautifully appointed
rooms feature antique Thai dressers glistening with inlaid mother of pearl, marble-topped
antique tables set with Louis XV chairs, and the finest-quality US-made mattresses with
custom bed linen made of Egyptian cotton and goose-feather pillow.
All of the 33 rooms are suites and offer luxury par excellence. While it's comfortable
and functional enough for the most distinguished executive travelers, it's also undeniably
romantic - a hard balance to strike.

; Calle Ricardo Arias & Vía España; d incl breakfast from
US$125; )
This well-located casino hotel has that swinging, tropical style
more common to Havana than Panama, thanks to the open architecture, cool breezes and
abundance of fresh-cut flowers. Service is oft-praised and recently remodeled rooms are
tasteful and spacious. At current rates it's a steal.
