American Trade Hotel

Contemporary style with an old-world spirit in historic Casco Viejo, Panama City

Time it right, and the La Merced church bells will ring in your arrival at American Trade Hotel in Panama City. From the outside, canopied windows and graceful balustrades topped with ornamental trees promise an Art Deco delight within. Walk through the towering, glass fronted entrance and this boutique hotel doesn’t disappoint – while keeping a few more surprises up its sleeve.

Soft yellow tones, dark wood and vintage tiles tip their hats to classic mid-20th century style. Light and simple, these spaces give everything (and everyone) in them room to breathe. Take in the old town views from your room – if you’ve booked the Panorama Suite you’ll have plenty to choose from. Plan your next move while swimming a leisurely lap of the rooftop pool. Then fuel your city exploration with coffee from the hotel’s Tiempos Coffee, using beans grown and roasted in Panama.

You don’t have to go far to soak up Panama City’s charm. People watch from a café in Plaza Bolivar or take in the peace of the Catedral Metropolitana. When you’ve worked up an appetite, The Dining Room at American Trade Hotel will be set with creative cuisine. After that, it’s time to go out again – but only downstairs to the locally loved, place-to-be-seen Danilo’s Jazz Club.


Enjoy your stay!
