Central Hotel Panama faces the central park of Casco Antigua, Panama City’s prettiest historic district. Built in 1874, it is one of Panama’s oldest hotels. Today, it maintains its reputation as an upscale hotel that offers a memorable stay.

There is an abundance of interesting sightseeing to do within walking distance of the hotel — just walk down the street to see some iconic examples of Panamanian architecture. Travelers can also check out some interesting nightlife, including jazz bars, nightclubs, and bars with lovely outdoor patios. Panama’s locks always get plenty of attention from travelers, and exciting tours can bring you to some of the most scenic islands. Not far from the hotel, you can also visit a museum dedicated to the history of Panama City’s famous canal.

You can find gourmet offerings that fit with the elegant dining rooms. There is an on-site restaurant as well as a bistro – make sure to start your day at the restaurant to take advantage of the complimentary breakfast. The restaurant specializes in unusual cuts of meat, including crocodile and rabbit, as well as hand-made pasta. The bar has a menu of wine and cocktails, as well as a selection of whiskey.

Check out the fitness center at any time of the day or night – it has 24/7 access. If you have a little extra time, you should also browse the selection of treatments available at the spa. There’s a pool located on the roof, with lovely views of the city. No matter where you are, you can easily connect to the Wi-Fi.

All of the air-conditioned rooms are simply furnished, with wood floors, and calm, neutral colors. Rooms have 47-inch flatscreen TVs as well as safety deposit boxes. Every room also has a work desk and a chair. In the private bathroom, you’ll find toiletries as well as a hairdryer. Start your day with a hot cup from the coffee maker, and keep in mind that you can order room service 24 hours per day. Have a drink from the minibar, or help yourself to the complimentary bottled water.
