Casco Viejo Panama
Jul 22, 2008

Casco Viejo is a magical place. While it is in the process of gentrification, there is still an abundance of vibrancy and local culture. The Canal House affords a truly elegant and comfortable lodging option. I have been in Panama for three years and it is unquestionable the most pleasurable place to stay. If you are looking for a quiet... more

The service was first-class and the staff was incredibly welcoming and accomodating. The chef offered to drive us into the city when we were waiting for a cab and the hostess walked us to a local restaurant for dinner instead of giving us directions! All the rooms are comfortable and clean and we felt like we were in our own... more

Though we were only able to stay for one night, Canal House made our time in the Casco Viejo truly special. Spacious rooms, tall windows, comfortable furnishings, top notch amenities, and dedicated service made it a highlight of the trip. The hotel is very well situated within the old city, and allowed us to explore the streets, shops, architecture, and... more

It's very luxurious. The service is great, and there's an awesome Jazz Club three blocks away. more

My husband and I recently took a first trip to Panama City and after one night's stay in Casco Viejo at Canal House, debated for three more days whether to go to the coast or not. The Canal House, its comforts and attentive staff are simply hard to leave behind! An example of superb service: We booked online with no... more

Thanks Canal House for a very relaxing stay. We had just finished 4 days on the Inca Trail in Peru and were looking for a relaxing, comfortable place to stay. This was it! Beautiful rooms and location, professional staff and service, excellent list of recommendations and things to do, great assistance in organising things to do and very friendly atmosphere.... more

My partner and I stayed at the Canal House on our first and last nights in Panama. The staff was among the most helpful we have ever come across. The hotel is in the lively, beautiful, but sometimes slightly dicey Casco Antiguo, and this beautiful haven is well worth splurging on to have peace and comfort after exploring this neighborhood... more

Canal House is incredible. The staff is extremely professional and courteous. The rooms are well decorated and the dining room and library are well appointed. more

Samantha, Lith et al are the epitomy of hospitality. Once we stepped inside the doors of the Canal House, we felt welcomed, comfortable and quite simply, 'at home'. Understated, elegant and refined. No cookie cutter aestetics that characterise some boutique brands. Staff is visible yet invisible. Breakfast in the dining/drawing room is a great start to ones day. Nice space... more
