Friendly staff. Helped with airport transportation for an overnight layover

Staying at Hotel Herrera in Casco Viejo was truly unforgettable-one of those rare experiences where everything just feels right from the moment you arrive. Nestled right in the heart of Plaza Herrera, the hotel’s beautifully restored colonial façade immediately drew me in, but it was the warm welcome from the staff that really set the tone for my stay. My suite was a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort, with gorgeous handcrafted furniture, and a balcony that overlooked the lively Plaza Herrera below. Every detail, from the plush bedding to the luxurious marble bathroom, made it feel like a boutique retreat. I loved waking up to the sounds of the city and sipping coffee while watching the world go by from my private balcony. The hotel’s location made it easy to explore the best of Casco Viejo on foot-charming cafes, art galleries, and vibrant nightlife were all just steps away. The staff went above and beyond, offering great recommendations and even arranging a guided tour to the Panama Canal and a day trip to the Emberá community, which was a highlight of my trip. Dining at Hotel Herrera was another standout. I treated myself to a special dinner in THEcellar, their exclusive private dining room, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. The food was incredible, and the intimate setting made it feel truly special. If you’re looking for a place that combines history, luxury, and genuine hospitality, I can’t recommend Hotel Herrera enough.

Wonderful location in historic city center - Casco Viejo. Superbly helpful staff - helped me make a few arrangements on short notice (airport transport, city guide, birdwatching guide). I certainly hope to return to Panamá.
