Inside, you'll find a touch of colonial flair and numerous references to the rich history of the building and the city. A Mediterranean restaurant, a lively rooftop bar, a pool overlooking the water, an elegant spa, and a fitness center with ocean views offer a variety of retreats, and the legendary Panama Canal is only 30 minutes away.
Pamper your body and mind at the Sofitel Spa, featuring the renowned KOS brand, whose diverse treatments are inspired by ancient South American healing rituals, or relax on a sun lounger by the pool. A modern fitness center with sea views is available 24 hours a day. Don't miss the famous Panama Canal, the city's main attraction. The Miraflores Visitors Center is the most popular place to watch the boats passing through the locks and is only a 30-minute drive from the hotel.
The 159 elegant accommodations range from spacious superior rooms to spacious suites with wrought-iron balconies, where upholstered chairs offer the perfect place to relax with views of the bay and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Inside, you can enjoy a sophisticated colonial flair, underscored by wooden carved four-poster beds, parquet floors, and brass fittings. Colorful artwork and elegant velvet sofas lend the old world a modern mid-century aesthetic.
Enjoy a delicious Mediterranean dinner at the hotel's gourmet restaurant Caleta, which specializes in seafood and local products. The rooftop bar Ammi offers unparalleled views of the ocean and the modern skyline, while live Latin American music regularly creates a lively atmosphere. Last but not least, the relaxed Pool Bar and Mayda serve refreshing drinks, while freshly brewed Panamanian coffee and fragrant pastries await you at Vera Café.
Thanks to its historic building and central location in Casco Viejo, Panama's cobblestone historic old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the luxurious Sofitel Legend presents itself like a grande dame in elegant colonial style right on the waterfront. French-inspired accents such as wrought-iron balconies and the checkerboard marble floor in the ballroom create an upscale atmosphere, while an exhibition of numerous paintings and photographs in the lobby references Panamanian history. The elegant rooms and suites mostly offer sea views and are furnished with plush velvet sofas, solid four-poster beds, and colorful artwork.
