An Insider's Take
'This UNESCO World Heritage gem transforms a colonial mansion into Panama's most sophisticated luxury retreat, where 500-year-old history meets French elegance in the heart of Casco Viejo.' What's Special? The hotel occupies a meticulously restored 1920s building that once housed the American Trade Hotel, featuring original terrazzo floors, soaring ceilings, and wrought-iron balconies overlooking cobblestone streets. The rooftop pool offers stunning views of both the Pacific Ocean and Panama City's modern skyline, while the ground-floor Lyceum restaurant serves French-Caribbean fusion in a dramatic atrium setting.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a corner suite for panoramic views of the Panama Canal entrance and catch sunset from the rooftop bar – it's one of the few places where you can watch ships transit between two oceans while sipping champagne.
Don't Miss Walk just two blocks to Plaza de Independencia where Panama declared independence in 1903, explore the stunning Metropolitan Cathedral with its pearl-inlaid altar, and visit the nearby Mercado de Mariscos for the freshest ceviche in Central America. The hotel's concierge can arrange private tours of the Miraflores Locks, just 20 minutes away.
