Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo Panama, Panama City, Panama.
This autumn sees the opening of the 159-room Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo Panama in Panama City’s historic district. The property’s renovated front, which includes a column-lined entrance and wrought-iron balconies, adheres to the original design of the Casco Viejo neighbourhood’s seventeenth-century, UNESCO World Heritage-listed architecture. Inside, the communal areas are decorated with a variety of vibrant tiles, elaborate lighting fixtures, and local artwork, while the guest rooms, many of which have views of the Pacific, are simple and serene. At the indoor/outdoor Ammi skybar, visitors may savour brick-oven pizzas and margaritas while taking in distant views of the Panama City cityscape. The Sofitel Legend excels at keeping things calm, from the evening candle-lighting ceremony to the butlers preparing hand-drawn baths, even if one of Central America’s most exciting locations is right outside its doors.
