The Central Hotel Panama was built almost 150 years ago in the heart of Panama City, in front of the beautiful Plaza de la Independencia, in the Old Town (Casco Viejo). It opened its doors in 1874, being the first hotel of the country. Soon it became the favorite site of intrepid travelers. Its guests included US President Theodore Roosevelt and Count Ferdinand de Lesseps. By the 20th Century the hotel was recognized as the best in Panama for its high level of European and American services.
