Amarla Casco Viejo
This adults-only boutique hotel is ideally located in the heart of Panama City’s historic Casco Viejo with a gourmet restaurant and rooftop jacuzzi.
Being a heritage building the guest rooms vary in size and presentation and come with either queen or king-size beds with luxurious bedding. All are air-conditioned and furnished with handmade artisan furniture, antiques, local photography and artwork, with silk kimonos and slippers for guests, as well as free Wifi and coffee from the Boquete region. The rooftop terrace commands stunning views over Casco Viejo and Panama Bay.
Enjoy a cocktail from the bar before discovering the gourmet cuisine at Kaandela Restaurant, specialising in a fusion of Latin American and Asian dishes. Choose from having your food cooked in front of you in the kitchen or served on the patio adorned with palm trees and orchids. Casco Viejo, also known as San Felipe, is Panama City’s most historic district and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Staying here, you’ll find the Presidential Palace, Cathedral, National Theatre and the Plaza de Francia all a short walk away.
