Where to Stay in Casco Viejo, Panama

Don´t trust our picture in this post… Hotel Grand doesn´t exist, this is Panama´s Ministry of Culture at Casco Viejo suddenly transformed into a hotel by the James Bond 007 crew.

Actually… Casco Viejo is a wonderful place to stay… but we don´t have hotels yet! so where and how might be tricky but not impossible. It only takes planning ahead.

So here is the short list!

1. Stay at a private apartment:

You can rent private apartments in different locations in Casco Viejo. All of them are great, nicely furnished, well located. Most include breakfast service. For high season, most of them are over $150 + tax per night.

How to book:

Email Arco Properties at [email protected] Or visit the page at www.arcoproperties.com The apartment called “Café de Asis” faces one of the cutest plazas: Plaza Bolivar. Is a 2 bedroom, with 2 queen size bed. Phone: (507) 211-2548.
