Pros

Custom-made Mexican and French furnishings with Bertoia chairs create distinctive interior design

Key venue for the city's annual jazz festival with intimate 60-seat club setting

Tranquil garden courtyard offers peaceful retreat from urban surroundings

Multiple room categories feature balcony views of Plaza Herrera

Cons

“This hotel, set in the heart of Old Panama City, struck me as a place where colonial elegance meets modern design; live jazz drifts from the club, while fusion cuisine tempts in the restaurant. I especially like that it offers tailored wedding packages and event spaces, making it ideal for intimate gatherings. It is an amazing destination for leisure and cultural immersion.”
