Where to stay in Parque Lefevre
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Panamá Viejo decides it. The site and its churches sit inside Parque Lefevre, so a room in the district puts the Panamá Viejo Cathedral and the Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco within walking reach rather than at the end of a cross-city drive. Parque Lefevre itself offers little in the way of rooms. Panama City keeps the hotel supply, and visitors who come for the Iglesia y Convento de la Merced and the Iglesia y Convento de las Monjas de la Concepción mostly book in the wider city and travel out for the morning.
