Panama City, Panama

A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the American Trade Hotel occupies a beautifully restored 1917 Art Deco building in the heart of Casco Viejo, the city’s UNESCO-listed historic district.

The hotel blends old‑world elegance with clean, contemporary design, offering a refined atmosphere that appeals to leisure travelers seeking culture, architecture, and style in one place. It represents an intersection of centuries‑old tradition and forward‑thinking progress, combining contemporary conveniences with modern luxuries. Inside, you’ll find vintage tilework, warm wood accents, and curated mid‑century touches, along with all the comforts expected of a boutique luxury stay.

Located directly in front of Plaza Herrera—and standing as the tallest building in this neighborhood of colonial architecture, cafés, and pedestrian‑friendly streets—the hotel distinguishes itself with its whitewashed façade, floor‑to‑ceiling paned windows, and lofty balconies. Each suite includes air conditioning, a refrigerator, Wi‑Fi, and a stocked minibar. On the premises, guests can enjoy the rooftop pool, restaurant, artisan coffee from Tiempos, and a fitness center. In this vibrant area of town, chances are good, you’ll catch live music in the lobby or at Danilo’s Jazz Club.
