Top 10 Casco Viejo Hotels of 2026

My favourite store in Casco Viejo by far! It sells #colorful Kuna handmade products and the owner of the gallery is a very kind lady, who even allowed me to visit her place outside working hours.

The Westin Playa Bonita Panama

10/10 Excellent

"The property was in a beautiful spot with a gorgeous of the ocean. The water recedes in the day but don’t worry it comes back by the morning. The food is good - good variety. One thing I will point out. Bring your insect repellant. There are microscopic insects (mosquitoes) that come out from 6pm-6am that you will not see or feel when they bite you until the next day when you start to itch the bites. After bite is also a must. Other than that we had the best time! "

Plaza Paitilla Inn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room and a comfortable bed. Don’t really like the frosted glass bathroom wall but I’ve seen it before. We had a room with a bay view and the view at night of the water and the lights of the city was beautiful! All of the staff were great, especially Hussein! We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. Overall and fantastic stay!"

Crowne Plaza Panama Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My stay here was wonderful. I needed somewhere to stay during my layover and this was ideal. It was close to the airport and the staff was very kind. Check in was a breeze and the hotel was very modern and elegant. The hotel shuttle was very convenient and they even packed me dinner to go so I could catch my flight. I cannot say enough good things ago this hotel and would highly recommend."
