About the host
Hosted by MARC Fornos
Casa Arango represent a shared dream and a deep appreciation for Panama’s heritage, brought to life by two siblings with a passion for history and hospitality. Our journey began with La Concordia Boutique Hotel, where we aimed to create a space that not only welcomed guests but also connected them with the cultural heartbeat of Casco Antiguo. This historic district, with its cobblestone streets and colonial architecture, felt like the perfect backdrop for an intimate boutique hotel that celebrated the stories and charm of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Since its opening, La Concordia has stood as a tribute to the vibrant spirit and layered history of Panama, becoming a destination that offers more than just a stay—it offers a genuine cultural experience.
In 2024, our story evolved with the restoration of Casa Arango, a 19th-century colonial gem located on one of Casco Antiguo’s most serene streets. Designed for families and groups, Casa Arango provided a new dimension to our vision, creating an exclusive retreat that balances the architectural beauty of its era with the comforts of contemporary living. Restoring this historic home was a meticulous process, where we preserved its original character while thoughtfully adding elements to accommodate modern needs. Each detail was chosen to reflect the elegance of the past, integrating seamlessly with the vibrant energy of today’s Casco Antiguo.
With Casa Arango and La Concordia, we aspire to provide an experience that resonates with each guest, offering an immersion into the history, culture, and community of Panama. Together, these properties invite travelers to explore the neighborhood’s hidden gems, from traditional cafés and boutiques to iconic landmarks, creating memories that reflect the rich fabric of Casco Antiguo. As siblings who cherish family, culture, and connection, we’re honored to share this story with each guest, welcoming them into a space that’s both timeless and distinctly Panamanian.

Why they chose this property
Casco Antiguo captured our hearts because of its unique blend of historical significance and vibrant cultural life. As Panama’s most historic district, it reflects centuries of stories and diverse influences, from Spanish colonial architecture to the dynamic communities that bring it to life today. We knew that if we wanted to create a hospitality experience that truly immersed guests in Panama’s spirit, Casco Antiguo was the perfect setting.
The neighborhood’s charm lies in its contrasts—cobblestone streets lined with beautifully preserved colonial buildings, colorful murals, and plazas bustling with locals and visitors alike. It’s a place where history and modernity coexist, where you can step out of your door and find yourself surrounded by both iconic landmarks and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. For us, choosing Casco Antiguo meant embracing a neighborhood that inspires connection, exploration, and a deep appreciation for Panama’s past and present.
By establishing La Concordia and Casa Arango here, we aimed to be part of this lively, evolving community and to offer our guests an authentic experience within the heart of it. We love sharing the joy of Casco Antiguo’s rich character, from its historical landmarks to its thriving art and culinary scenes, giving visitors a meaningful stay that goes beyond the walls of our properties.

What makes this property unique
Casa Arango holds a unique place in our hearts, as it is where the Fornós family used to live. This personal connection has driven us to restore the home with the deepest respect and attention to every detail, making it more than just a property—it’s a part of our family’s legacy. Every decision, from the materials used to the design elements incorporated, was made with care to ensure that the spirit of our family’s history was preserved while creating a welcoming space for guests.
One of the most distinctive aspects of Casa Arango is its ambiance, which invites guests to feel at home from the moment they walk in. Unlike a typical vacation rental, Casa Arango exudes warmth and personality, reflecting our family’s love for Panama and for Casco Antiguo’s beauty. We’ve infused the space with elements that embody the essence of the neighborhood, including carefully chosen artwork and furnishings that harmonize with the building’s original architecture.
Staying at Casa Arango means stepping into an intimate and lovingly restored home, where every corner tells a story. This residence was not only brought back to life but also transformed into a space for new memories to be made. We hope that guests feel the personal touch and heartfelt care that went into every inch of Casa Arango, creating an experience that’s as authentic and meaningful as the home itself.
