New Downtown Panama City Hotel Now Welcoming Guests

Hotel Indigo complements marina area and reflects local culture

The latest addition to The St. Joe Company’s hotel portfolio, the 124-room Hotel Indigo Downtown Panama City Marina, is now open. The five-story hotel, located in downtown Panama City, offers majestic views of St. Andrew Bay and a walkable location convenient to the many locally owned restaurants, bars and businesses that make up the historic downtown area.

Hotel Indigo properties are designed to reflect the culture of the surrounding community. Each hotel draws on the unique story of its local area as inspiration for aspects of the hotel ranging from captivating design to distinctive local ingredients on menus.

At Hotel Indigo Downtown Panama City Marina, guests will enjoy two on-site restaurants: Tarpon’s provides a Southern twist on coastal fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and offers indoor and outdoor seating. The open-air, fifth-floor dining venue, Steam on 5, serves fresh local seafood along with curated craft cocktails. Both restaurants afford diners stunning water views.

Guests of the hotel enjoy high-speed internet, complimentary parking, a private pool, an outdoor fire pit, a 24-hour fitness center and an onsite retail shop. The hotel is pet-friendly and is equipped to host meetings and special events in a spacious banquet room or outside on the event lawn. 

“We are excited to be a part of the downtown Panama City community,” said Jean Capps, general manager of the Hotel Indigo Downtown Panama City Marina. “We have an amazing venue to showcase to our guests, and we can’t wait to welcome both visitors and locals to enjoy an experience that’s both upscale and authentic to the distinct fabric of downtown Panama City.”

This is the fourth of five hotel openings planned for the first half of 2023 by St. Joe. Its hotel portfolio now consists of 1,102 rooms.

Two additional hotels are currently under construction. The Camp Creek Inn is scheduled to open this month; Residence Inn by Marriott Panama City Beach will open in 2024.
