When planning a visit to Panama City, there’s no better way to experience its soul than by staying in Casco Viejo — the city’s most historic and vibrant neighborhood. At the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage Site lies Amarla Boutique Hotel, a hidden gem that perfectly blends colonial charm, contemporary comfort, and personalized hospitality.

A Boutique Hotel with  a Story

Amarla Boutique Hotel is housed in a beautifully restored colonial residence that captures the essence of Panama’s heritage. Wooden beams, handcrafted décor, and locally inspired art fill every corner, creating an atmosphere that feels warm, elegant, and authentic. With only a handful of rooms, Amarla ensures that every guest enjoys privacy and personalized attention — the hallmark of a true boutique stay.

The Best Location in casco viejo

Few hotels can match Amarla’s location. Just steps away from Independence Square, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Canal Museum, the hotel places you in the center of Panama’s cultural heart. Wander through cobblestone streets, admire the colonial facades, and discover rooftop bars and art galleries just around the corner. Whether you’re here to explore history or enjoy Panama City’s modern energy, Amarla puts you right where you want to be.

Designed for the Modern Traveler

Every room at Amarla tells its own story. Combining rustic textures with soft fabrics and natural light, each space invites relaxation and comfort. Guests often describe their stay as “a home away from home” — peaceful, cozy, and full of character. The hotel’s small size allows the staff to offer an experience that’s both intimate and memorable.

Beyond Accommodation

Staying at Amarla isn’t just about having a beautiful place to sleep — it’s about living the culture. Guests can start their day with a locally inspired breakfast before stepping out to explore Casco Viejo’s charm. At night, unwind with a cocktail on the rooftop while watching the sunset over Panama’s skyline.

A Cultural delight Kaandela

One of the highlights of Amarla is Kaandela, its signature restaurant. Here, fire is the central element — every dish is crafted over open flames, offering a menu that’s both bold and creative.
