W magazine had a great article about the American Trade Hotel hotel in Casco.\u00a0 Another great achievement for KC Hardin and Ramon Arias.<\/p>\n

Here is the article written by Linda Lablonsky.<\/p>\n

Not long ago, anyone traveling to Panama City, Panama, didn\u2019t bother visiting Casco Viejo, the capital\u2019s largest historic district. There wasn\u2019t much point. After 80 years of steady deterioration, its narrow streets were dark and broken and its colonial building stock was either abandoned or occupied largely by gangs or squatters.<\/p>\n

But there is perhaps no greater indication of how the 340-year-old neighborhood is starting to change than the opening this month of the American Trade Hotel<\/a>, a collaboration with Atelier Ace, an arm of the trendy Ace Hotel chain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With interiors by the hip Los Angeles design company Commune Design, a coffee bar, a jazz club, a farm-to-table restaurant, a travel agency to organize day trips, and a banquet hall next door, the hotel is poised to meet the needs of travelers seeking both authenticity and coddling. That\u2019s a far cry from the stripped, graffiti-bombed shell that the building was in 2007, when it became the property of Conservatorio, a Casco real estate development company founded by two preservation-minded lawyers, Ram\u00f3n Arias and K.C. Hardin. For Arias, a 50-year-old Panamanian whose family tree qualifies him as a true prince of the city, the acquisition represented a kind of homecoming. His great-great-grandfather, a savvy businessman also named Ram\u00f3n Arias, built the white stucco palace in 1917, after the opening of the Panama Canal, as a five-story luxury apartment house with a department store and a bank on the ground floor, which is now the hotel\u2019s expansive lobby. During what Arias calls \u201cour dictator years\u201d (1968 to 1989), the building had different owners and became the province of five drug gangs that resided there, each on its own garbage-strewn floor. \u201cOne was a lady gang,\u201d Arias told me when I visited in June. \u201cIt was a lesbian gang,\u201d countered Hildegard V\u00e1squez, 44, Panama\u2019s leading restoration architect and a stickler for historical detail.<\/p>\n

Married for 16 years and now the parents of three girls, Arias and V\u00e1squez have been consumed by a multi-pronged effort to rescue Casco from decades of near fatal neglect\u2014their \u201clife project,\u201d as V\u00e1squez put it. The two work as a team, with Arias doing the legal footwork for the more than 150 buildings that V\u00e1squez has been restoring since 1997, when the neighborhood was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site, in part owing to Arias\u2019s intervention.
\n\u201cIt was very nasty here then,\u201d V\u00e1squez recalled. \u201cBut something about it was enticing.\u201d The child of a prominent pediatrician and a half-Swiss mother, V\u00e1squez grew up in a modernist house that is now engulfed by the massive glass-and-steel condos and hotels of the new Panama\u2014the city\u2019s financial district and the redoubt of the rich. \u201cThat\u2019s what I ran away from,\u201d she said, without a trace of regret.<\/p>\n

Arias, a genial man with a warm smile and a comfortable paunch who was raised in a suburb of Panama City, did the same. \u201cI\u2019ve always been attracted to old cities,\u201d he said. Family roots had something to do with it: His maternal great-grandfather, Belisario Porras, served three terms as Panama\u2019s president, between 1912 and 1924; an uncle, Ricardo Arias Calder\u00f3n, was a reformist vice president after the 1989 invasion by American military forces that brought down the dictator Manuel Noriega.<\/p>\n

Casco was founded on a 100-acre thumb of a peninsula in 1671, after the British pirate Henry Morgan sacked the original Spanish settlement. Today, it has the look of a mashup of Old Havana and New Orleans\u2019s French Quarter\u2014with 17th-century ruins, early-American architecture, and a bit of Art Deco thrown in for good measure. By comparison, the new Panama, with its glittering skyscrapers, looked a lot like Dubai.<\/p>\n

Despite the city\u2019s provenance, Casco\u2019s biggest architectural influence is French Colonial, the legacy of the failed 19th-century attempt by France to build a canal. The French brought wrought-iron balconies, flat red Marseille roof tiles, and shotgun layouts, and the Spanish contributed arched doorways, interior gardens, and walls of stone, brick, and lime.<\/p>\n

None of this characterizes the American Trade Hotel, which fits no single architectural profile. It actually combines the original building with two adjacent houses, one with a mansard roof; the interior decor is just as mixed, Commune Design\u2019s Roman Alonso told me, naming Mexican midcentury modern, Spanish Colonial, and custom contemporary as examples. Rather than try to gloss over the hodgepodge of styles, Alonso embraced them to create a narrative\u2014decor as family history. \u201cYou feel more like you\u2019re visiting a beautiful home than a hotel\u2014one that is comfortable, personal, and safe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Safety is still a bit of an issue. Despite Conservatorio\u2019s success in breaking up local gangs by putting them to work on construction projects, the district is still rough around the edges, partly by design. \u201cAny interesting neighborhood in a historic district has a mixed population,\u201d Arias said. \u201cWhen you completely gentrify, it loses its flavor.\u201d I wondered if the concerns of a developer always square with those of a preservationist. \u201cWe argued a lot at the beginning of our marriage,\u201d V\u00e1squez admitted. \u201cToday, we discuss.\u201d The couple started working together in 1995, after the formative meeting of the Calicanto Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the neighborhood\u2019s architectural and cultural integrity. Arias wanted to reclaim a derelict house on Panama Bay that had been in his family for more than 175 years. V\u00e1squez got the job\u2014her first professional commission. \u201cThere I was, making drawings for the house of a guy I was dating\u2014that I didn\u2019t know I would inhabit myself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

A big part of their restoration effort includes what they call Casco\u2019s \u201chuman heritage,\u201d which doesn\u2019t just involve turning gang members into legitimate tradesmen. The hotel staff includes graduates of Capacitaci\u00f3n para el Trabajo, a Calicanto program for which V\u00e1squez serves as president and chief fundraiser. It has transformed the lives of brutally abused and impoverished women, who have become confident working mothers with stories that bring tears to the eyes.<\/p>\n

Now an Aspen Institute Fellow for Central America, V\u00e1squez believes the program can work for other countries as well. \u201cBuildings are more interesting with people,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can\u2019t just fix the architecture\u2014you have to fix the people. And in the process, they change you, too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
