Top hotels in Casco Viejo
Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo, Panama City
The hotel was gorgeous - timeless, classy and well appointed. The only disappointment was at the speak easy where I ordered a cocktail and was brought a Taro card. As a Christ follower - it was offensive to me. I asked the waiter to take it back.

Hotel La Compañía Casco Antiguo
Wonderful whimsy and attention to detail throught. Noteworthy upbeat staff, naturally welcoming. Outstanding location. Music from rooftop bar was evident in atrium rooms of American wing, so if a concern, best to request a quiet room.

Hotel Casa Panamá
Everyone was nice, the room was clean & the location perfect. I loved having a balcony. I didn’t like that the hallway light didn’t work well and that you had to walk through in the dark and that you could see laundry when you first walk in but it’s a small hotel perhaps they don’t have much space ...
