Spanish in the City- Panama

The Panama Canal officially opens its locks in August of 1914, with the passage of the U.S.S. ANCON. One hundred years later, in 2014, we honor all who were involved in the construction of this magnificent engineering project when we open our doors to visitors from all over the world and name our hostel “POSADA 1914”.
​
Posada 1914 is a two story colonial house located in the heart of Bella Vista, Panama City. It was built by the Lefevre Family in the 1940’s and has been kept in its original state so our guests can feel like they have gone back in time. We want you to enjoy your stay with us and feel at home in our beautiful Posada 1914.

Posada 1914 is a family business, run by an awesome staff with passion and enthusiasm. Each one works a specific area and one of us can always be found on the premises. Johanna, our mother and boss, is always on top of all details of design and activities.

Baboons Boulder Wall is the only climbing wall in Panama City.
Located at Posada 1914 since 2014, our goal is to receive climbers from all over the world to share our passion for climbing.

Hostal Casa Areka is located in the heart of Panama City close to the vibrant district “Calle Uruguay”. There is a 24hr supermarket right in front of the hostel and two big malls, many restaurants and bars as well as the bus stop (e.g. to the Panama Canal or Casco Viejo) in walking distance.

The highlight of our hostel is the lovely pool area surrounded by palm trees, sun chairs and a hammock with a BBQ area where you can hang out. Inside we have a common room with a pool table, lots of sofas, a computer, and a common kitchen that is equipped with everything you need to cook your own meals (remember there is a 24hr supermarket across the street).

We offer private rooms as well as dorms – all with air-conditioning. Breakfast and Internet are included.
