Kosher food

Chabad of Panama serves prepaid Shabbat meals at 9a Calle Gil Colunge (about 27 min walk); reservations close Wednesday evening, and it also offers a Shabbat meals take-out ordering option. Whether anything is delivered to this hotel is not published

How observant guests manage

About 27 min walk to Beit Chabad or Shevet Ahim on busy streets; Obarrio is not among the eruv areas Chabad names. Workable for strong walkers who carry nothing, or with a Paitilla stay for Shabbat

Eruv

Outside the core eruv neighbourhoods named by Chabad; confirm

Times are estimates along a mapped walking route between map points, at about 80 m a minute, not door to door. How we work out walking times. Eruv badges compare the whole route with the community’s eruv map; “On the eruv line” means the route runs right along the line, too close to call, so check it on the map. The eruv can be down, so confirm it every Friday with your shul or Chabad: the eruv in Panama City.

Good to know

Not a practical Shabbat base for most families. Ask the hotel before booking whether rooms use electronic key cards, whether staff can open the door for you on Shabbat, and whether a low floor or stairwell access is possible.
