The Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo is a beautiful hotel nicely located in the old section of Panama City. The bars and restaurants on site are excellent with delicious offerings. The staff is friendly and responsive. The pool and lounges are inviting with poolside service for drinks and food. The fitness room is well-equipped. Our stay here was wonderful.

Words can never express how much it breaks my heart to leave this place. From the literal moment I arrived the staff have been attentive, accommodating and so warm that I felt like I was with family and not alone in a foreign country. Panama keeps finding ways to hold my heart and this time around? Sofitel Legend did the work ❤️

Great historic hotel in a great location
Sofitel transformed a century old private club right on the ocean into a beautiful hotel. Everything about it is perfect. The rooms. The staff. The restaurants. Definitely worth visiting. And re-visiting.
