We appreciated the authentic historic nature of the property, the high ceilings, the dark woods, the generous-sized rooms. Sitting by the pool -- and even getting into it -- was a bonus.

An Elegant Stay In A Charming Historic Hotel
The historic American Trade Hotel exceeded our expectations, even with the amazing reviews written by past guests. The hospitality staff were courteous, friendly and offered a surprising upgrade to an amazingly spacious room overlooking the charming Plaza Herrera. We couldn't have asked for a more elegant stay!

Great spot
Really great spot, better than expected. Considered changing future plans to stay here again. The only thing is that the club across the street is loud until 4am, but it was easy to sleep through.

I loved this hotel for the location and decor. The bed was comfortable and the staff were so welcoming and helpful. The food in the restaurant was also fabulous, we had dinner and a few breakfasts. The location was great for exploring Casco Viejo. The only downside is the loud music coming from a hotel across the way until 2am. They offered to move us to the other side but there are church bells… so best to pick a room based on whether you're a night owl or early riser!

This beautiful hotel is within the old town in Panama City. Beautifully restored to its earlier glories. The rooms are large and stately. Friendly staff and restaurant on site. Lots to see and do in Casco Viejo, the old town. We took a tour through the panama canal and it was fascinating!

Great location, beautiful, but a bit loud
Overall, it is a lovely historic building. Our room was on the top floor directly across from a church tower, bells are loud and ring often, especially on Sundays. We could also hear loud music late into the night from nearby restaurants/bars. Ear plugs are a must. The floor was a bit dirty and we had no hand soap. Bed was quite comfortable if a bit on the hard side. The food in restaurant was inconsistent. Breakfasts were very good but dinner was not great (meat so tough, could not eat it). They did take the meal off our bill. Front desk and door men all very helpful.

A lovely property overlooking Plaza Herrera in the Casco Viejo area of Panama City. I will say, prior to staying there, I was a bit concerned about several reviews that claimed there was no hot water...oh my God! They were SO wrong! Not only is there hot water but the shower has such great pressure that I nearly got whiplash! Swimming pool is a nice, serene area and there's a small gym on the 1st floor. One curious thing, however, is that both the hotel's bar and restaurant close ridiculously early--like 6:00 p.m. so the restaurant doesn't serve dinner--no problem since there are so many restaurants around, but odd. Loved the central location, so close to restaurants, the historic churches and museums. Not a ton of shopping in Panama City other than for Panama hats and chocolate.
