The soul of Casco Viejo

Some hotels reflect their destination.

Others help define it.

Located in the heart of Panama City’s historic quarter, American Trade Hotel occupies a beautifully restored landmark that has witnessed generations of merchants, travellers and dreamers pass through one of the world’s great crossroads.

Today, the property combines historic elegance with contemporary sophistication, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and distinctly Panamanian. Original architectural details sit alongside carefully curated design, while the surrounding streets reveal a neighbourhood that has become the cultural heart of the city.

Days unfold between art galleries, rooftop cocktails, hidden courtyards and exceptional restaurants. Beyond Casco Viejo, modern Panama City rises dramatically along the Pacific shoreline, offering a fascinating contrast between old and new.

The experience feels authentic, creative and deeply connected to place.

A hotel that tells the story of Panama through architecture, culture and character.
