“American Trade Hotel & Hall is the luxury debut property in a portfolio of unique, independent projects concepted and managed by Atelier Ace, the creative team behind Ace Hotel Group. Developed in partnership with Panama City-based Conservatorio, the property is steeped in the heritage and culture of Casco Viejo, the city’s UNESCO-designated historic district. Panama City lies at the crossroads of the Americas, and the hotel’s location at the centre of the city’s old quarter, just moments from its bustling business district, makes American Trade a natural meeting place for influencers, creatives and cultures from around the world.

The interior design of the American Trade Hotel is rooted in the colourful history of Casco Viejo, reflecting its diverse mix of cultural and design influences. Taking a building that has gone through radical transformations in its storied history — from its origins as luxury apartments over a bank and department store to its more recent use as headquarters for a neighbourhood gang — Commune borrowed from an assortment of 19th-century styles present on the Isthmus to re-imagine the American Trade Building as a family-run luxury hotel.” – Ace Hotel Team.
