Built in 1917, this landmark building has transitioned from a luxury department store to a gang headquarters, and now to a boutique hotel. Its restoration, completed in 2013, preserves the structure's neoclassical and Art Deco elements while incorporating modern amenities. Located in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Casco Viejo, the hotel offers a unique blend of historical charm and contemporary luxury. Its design likely features high ceilings, large windows, and a mix of period-appropriate furnishings with modern decor. The hotel may include a central courtyard and a rooftop terrace with views of Casco Viejo and Panama Bay. The American Trade Hotel's presence contributes to Casco Viejo's gentrification, transforming the once-neglected neighborhood into a thriving tourist destination. For visitors, it provides an immersive experience in Panama's history and culture, serving as an ideal base for exploring the historic district's cobblestone streets, churches, and vibrant dining scene.
