The Trump International Hotel & Tower Panama (formerly Trump Ocean Club or Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower) is a 70-story, 2,500,000 sq ft (230,000 m2), mixed-use waterfront condominium tower development in Panama City, Panama.

The project was designed by Colombian architects Arias - Serna - Saravia S.A.[2] The building is situated on a beachfront lot with views of the Pacific Ocean and Panama Bay, in the area of Punta Pacifica. The building was developed by real estate tycoon and the President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump of the Trump Organization and Roger Khafif, President of the K Group, a Panama resort developer. The project includes 369 hotel condominium units, 700 condominium units, 1500 parking spaces, retail shops, casino, use of a private beach club on Viveros Island, yacht club and pier, wellness spa, gym, pool deck, meeting and event spaces, and a business center.

The hotel opened on July 6, 2011.[1] On September 21, 2011, it was indicated by Bloomberg.com that Fitch Ratings downgraded $220 million in bonds that Newland International Properties, Corp. is using to finance construction of the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Panama. The downgrade to CCsf from B-sf, resulted from "continued uncertainty over the willingness and ability" of buyers to take possession of apartment units, according to Fitch documents.[3]

In November 2012, Sun International announced plans to open a 75,000-square-foot (7,000 m2) casino at the property with 600 slot machines and 32 table games. The company paid $45.5 million for the rights to the space, and planned to spend another $60 million to develop it for an opening in mid-2014.[4]
