The neighborhood
Stay where Curaçao comes alive.
Pastel streets by morning, sea air all afternoon, and dinner, music and cocktails just beyond your door.
Willemstad, up close
A historic district made for wandering.
Pietermaai brings together restored Dutch-Caribbean townhouses, independent kitchens and unmistakable after-dark energy. From the hotel, more than 30 restaurants, cafés and bars are within easy reach on foot.
Walk toward Punda and Queen Emma Bridge, follow the waterfront, or simply let the colorful streets decide the route. Back at the hotel, tropical courtyards and two private pools offer a quiet counterpoint.
After dark
Follow the music home.
The district
Color, character and the Caribbean.
Start among ornate façades, continue through Punda’s lanes and end where the harbor meets the floating bridge. The neighborhood shifts naturally from slow mornings to lively evenings.
