Las Clementinas

Apartments and studios in a 1930s building in Casco Viejo

About Las Clementinas

Las Clementinas is a nine-unit hotel in Casco Viejo, Panama City, at Calle 11 and Avenida B. Six apartments of 80 to 85 square meters have full kitchens and balconies, and three studios share a terrace. Mahalo Cocina y Jardin and a rooftop patio are on the property. The hotel can arrange airport transfers.

Las Clementinas occupies a 1930s building on Calle 11 and Avenida B, set on a stretch of Panama City's 1673 colonial wall. Clementina Herrera, a pawn shop owner, built it and later opened her home to artists, thinkers and women seeking independence. The hotel opened in 2010 after years of abandonment. The restorers reused timber salvaged from the bed of Lake Gatun, which was flooded to build the Panama Canal.

There are nine units. The six apartments measure between 80.19 and 85.33 square meters. Each has a queen bed, a sofa bed, a separate living area, a complete kitchen and a balcony, and sleeps up to four. Doors and windows are soundproofed. The three studios, called Standard, King and Double, run from 25.16 to 32.17 square meters and open onto a shared terrace.

The building also holds a sunken courtyard, a garden and a rooftop patio with views over the city and the ocean. Mahalo Cocina y Jardin, the restaurant on the property, serves brunch and dinner every day, often with live music. Plaza Herrera is a few steps away, and the National Theatre and the cathedral are close by.
