Great location. Very nice personnel. Clean spacious room overseeing beautiful plaza Herrera.
The only caveat is that access to the rooms is only with stairs. There is no elevator, we were told it’s because it’s an historic building. We could carry our luggages up to our room but people should be aware of this before booking.

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.

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.

Hotel histórico bem conservado, porém sem elevadores (ruim para idosos) e café da manhã fraco com poucas opções. Bar da sala de estar sempre fechado o que faz os hospedes descerem a escadaria e subir de volta quando quiserem ir ao bar

Hotel muy bien cuidado , limpio, excelente ubicación dentro del Casco Antiguo y muy buen desayuno incluido!! El único problema es que nos dieron la habitación en el tercer piso y el hotel no cuenta con ascensor , o sea había que ponerle para subir las gradas (73 y 75 años) y debería aclararse antes de su alquiler que no hay esa facilidad y así uno decide si alquila o
No!! Las maletas las movilizaban gente fuerte y joven , por ahí no había problema . Por lo demás todo bien

Atención de lujo; y el desayuno qué teniamos incluido en el hospedaje estaba muy rico, bien elaborado y con suficientes opciones para los diferentes gustos.
Los alrededores muy seguros para andar caminando y muchas opciones de distraerse

La propiedad es espectacular por la remodelación que preservó la época colonial y la decoración resalta también. El desayuno en su restaurante es delicioso, con un toque Sonorense que contiene el nivel de picante equilibrado y perfecto. La atención y amabilidad del personal especialmente de Yair y Dash fue de lujo. Hotel ampliamente recomendado y sin duda volveria a hospedarme aquí.
