Reviews for Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo
A Gem in Old Town Panama
This hotel is a gem located on an incredible piece of property in Old Town Panama. Everything about it was magnificent...the rooms, the pool, the food and the service. The rooftop bar was beautiful as well as the hidden speakeasy. Our concierge Miriel Jaen made our trip extra special with helpful hints and fantastic dinner reservations at some delightful restaurants. i can't wait to go back and stay at this hotel again soon!

Sofitel Does It Again
The property is beautiful and perfectly situated to everything you might want to do in Casco Viejo. Our room was lovely and our balcony with a view often made it difficult to leave. And the service is superb. No ask is too big nor too small and everything is done with warmth, care, attention to detail and an intention to delight you. Every member of the concierge team is top notch. We will be back.

Give yourself the gift of a stay here
Our 4 night stay at the Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo gave us the best gift of all: time together. The hotel is luxurious, beautiful and impeccably clean. The staff are kind and helpful and the butler team go above and beyond. What does this leave for me to do? Nothing. I got to be present, be with my partner, be us together. We ate delicious food, enjoyed a blissful spa experience, and had a perfect home base for touring. We could not ask for more.

Lovely Hotel with Excellent Service
My husband and I stayed here for two nights during a quick trip to Panama City. The service was extraordinary, the location perfect for visiting the old town, and the rooms fresh and clean. Be sure not to miss the candle lighting in the lobby in the evening for a little bit of history and entertainment. So many small touches that made our visit there special.

Great place to stay in Panama City
The location was great at the end of the old city. Easy walking everywhere and getting an Uber was easy as well. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the hotel it self had everything you needed. We had cocktails on the roof top and speak easy. The pool was well maintained and seviced
