HOTEL CENTRAL PANAMÁ: Presidential Luxury Hotel Steeped in Rich History Highlights Casco Viejo

Central Hotel Panamá is a premiere five-star luxury hotel located in the heart of Casco Viejo.  Built in 1874, this structure has withstood the test of time.  Established as Panamá’s first hotel and sanctioned as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its architectural beauty, Central Hotel Panamá has a rich history amongst the world’s high society.  Past guests include but are not limited to President Theodore Roosevelt, developer of the Suez Canal Count Ferdinand De Lesseps, and French builders of the Panamá Canal.  The establishment was built by renowned Frenchman Emil Dreyfous.  In fact, it is rumored that its elegant staircase was constructed by Harland & Wolf, the same builders of the Titanic’s Grand Staircase. 

The hotel consists of 135 rooms with six different floorplans and is guaranteed to satisfy every type of traveler.  Its whispers of opulence and grandeur emanate throughout its corridors.  A few years ago it underwent a meticulous $10 million dollar renovation to preserve its façade and quite honestly it shows.  Restored hardwood flooring spans throughout the establishment accented by skylights which illuminate the courtyards and provides an additional layer of sophisticated airiness.

Central Hotel Panamá sets itself apart from other establishments by providing continuous live entertainment.  One is stirred from sleep by classical instrumental praise music in the mornings.  Piano, guitar or violin performances pacify the spirit throughout the day and sleep is induced by the strings of a harp.

Its amenities include a rooftop pool, an intimate spa, three distinct and inviting restaurants, a beauty salon, a 24-hour fitness center, smart conference rooms, transportation services and customized preparations to compliment any occasion.

Although each one of its floorplans are comfortable, the suites (Junior, Suite and Presidential) offer the closest resemblances to an apartment.  Purpose built with more than sufficient space, Juliet balconies, jet tubs, freestanding rainforest showers (accompanied by never-ending hot water), smart lighting and flatscreen television(s); each guest’s comfort is guaranteed.  Honorable mention also goes to the strong central air system which is a refreshing respite after a long humid day. 

Food choices in Casco Viejo are abundant and one may have a difficult time deciding amongst the many choices.  Central Hotel Panamá’s abundant breakfast options make at least one of those decisions easier.  The foods range from local fruits, cheeses, yogurts, breads, a variety of Panamanian gastronomy dishes, waffles, pancakes, coffee, teas, and fresh juices. 

Although your time at Central Hotel Panamá may be limited, it is highly recommended that at least one dinner should be experienced at Bistró Central.  The restaurant boasts exquisite Panamanian cuisine carefully curated to match the hotel’s overall vibe.  If an authentic local meal is what is desired, Bistró Central does not disappoint. 

Safety is also worth mentioning.  Whilst no one place is promised to be completely crime free, Central Hotel Panamá provides extra measures in making their guests feel secured.  The main entrance to the hotel is only accessible after hours by the guest’s room key.  Not only is this an additional layer of security but a smart one as well.

Overall, your experience at Central Hotel Panamá will ensure an unforgettable memory and will always be your home away from home.
