Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo — Panama City
(5 stars)Book a room overlooking the waterfront in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, at Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo (the sixth property to join the brand’s portfolio). Once Panama’s Union Club (visited by monarchs and icons), this is a building synonymous with culture and local heritage. Now it’s been made over as a 159-bedroom hotel, set around a huge pool and sun terrace that’s arranged over two storeys. It opened in the third quarter of 2022, with five restaurants led by a Michelin-starred chef, plus the Ammi SkyBar and a spa incorporating tea and relaxation rooms.
