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.

Much more than I expected. The front desk guy at check in answered all our questions and when we explained we were serious food people sent us to the best restaurant in town. We never ate anywhere else. Great location. More affordable and better than the surrounding “ blg deal” hotels. Stay ...

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.
