Hotel Plaza Herrera

The property was beautiful done. The wood craft was amazing but most of all the staff and owner made it exceptional. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Panama city. Location is perfect as well!

El hotel es expectacular. Las instalaciones excelentes. La pasamos de maravilla. Full recomendado.

Beautiful old world building recently renovated, excellent service and very comfortable.

Beautiful room. Great staff. Amazing restaurant!

I’ve stayed in boutique hotels across Europe and Latin America — and this one tops the list. Hotel Herrera blends elegance, story, and soul. It feels like the kind of place you want to stumble upon — and then never leave.

Plaza Herrera out your door. Rooftops, ruins, and real culture at your feet. There’s no better base for exploring Panama City’s heart than this hotel. You’re in it — part of the rhythm, the flavor, and the magic.

I will be back and bringing friends!!

Staying at Hotel Herrera in Casco Viejo was truly unforgettable-one of those rare experiences where everything just feels right from the moment you arrive. Nestled right in the heart of Plaza Herrera, the hotel’s beautifully restored colonial façade immediately drew me in, but it was the warm welcome from the staff that really set the tone for my stay.

My suite was a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort, with gorgeous handcrafted furniture, and a balcony that overlooked the lively Plaza Herrera below. Every detail, from the plush bedding to the luxurious marble bathroom, made it feel like a boutique retreat. I loved waking up to the sounds of the city and sipping coffee while watching the world go by from my private balcony.

The hotel’s location made it easy to explore the best of Casco Viejo on foot-charming cafes, art galleries, and vibrant nightlife were all just steps away. The staff went above and beyond, offering great recommendations and even arranging a guided tour to the Panama Canal and a day trip to the Emberá community, which was a highlight of my trip.

Dining at Hotel Herrera was another standout. I treated myself to a special dinner in THEcellar, their exclusive private dining room, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. The food was incredible, and the intimate setting made it feel truly special.

If you’re looking for a place that combines history, luxury, and genuine hospitality, I can’t recommend Hotel Herrera enough.

I had a one night layover in Panama. I choose this place because it was on the main plaza in the historic district and it looked like New Orleans. It was excellent. My suite and balcony were better than anything I have had in the French Quarter, and less expensive. Service and people were great. I got some new kinds of drinks in the bar and very interesting menu. This would be the place to stay for Carnival next year.
