Successful Bay St. couple from Toronto quit their jobs to open a hotel in Panama Toronto
Feeling unfulfilled in their Bay Street careers, a couple from Toronto started a journey years ago to open a hotel in Panama, which only came to fruition during lockdowns.
"After our daughter was born, she spent months picking out our furnishings and interior decor for the hotel. We shipped a 40-foot container with all of these purchases the month before we moved. On Oct. 9, 2019, we left Canada with our three-year-old and six-month-old baby, and moved into our new home."After having left everything behind, they didn't know of the forced delays that were to come.
Construction was halted for two months in 2020, and there were delays with supply manufacturing and shipping materials. Though they had planned to open in October 2020, they ended up opening in December."We kept on building. The final months leading up to our opening day were chaos with our team working around the clock," says Somes.
