The Canal House
The Canal House is located in Panama's oldest neighborhood - Panama City's colonial old quarter, adjacent to the newly restored Interoceanic Canal Museum. Casco Antiguo is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is quickly being revitalized and now hosts some of the city's best restaurants, cafés and Latin jazz clubs. Casco Antiguo (also known as Casco Viejo), is walking distance from all of the key government ministries and equidistant from both the banking center and the Canal Zone (less than ten minutes by taxi to each), making the hotel an ideal base for business travelers.
Hotel Address: Calle 5ta. Ave. A. Casco Antiguo

- Take the "Corredor Sur" or the expressway/toll road from the International Airport, direction Panama Centro. You will stay on the "Corredor Sur" for about 20 minutes, go through two tolls and then follow the signs to Balboa Avenue
- Once on Balboa Avenue, follow it for about a mile and eventually you will see an overpass and Shell Station
- Make your first left just past the overpass and Shell Station, (there will be a Fish Market on your left, which might be hard to see if you are arriving at night)
- Upon making your first left, then make an immediate right
- About 50 yards further, there is a fork (you can either go hard left, center or right towards Chinatown). Take the Center Street for about 300 yards
- Towards the end of this street, you will come to an open area on your left and you will see the entrance to Casco Viejo (which looks like an onramp / inclined road). Go up the hill and take a right at the fork
- Go straight on this road (9th Street) until you reach Avenida A (3rd Stop Sign)
- Turn left onto Avenida A (you will see a big park, "Plaza Herrera", on your right)
- Head down Avenida A and the Canal House will be on your left as you come to Ave 4a Este
