Hotel Kura Hulanda: Guest Rooms and Courtyards
During my stay I savored my moments walking the hotel’s cobblestone streets and sitting in its many courtyards. (Kura Hulanda means “Dutch courtyard.” in Papiamentu, Curacao's native tongue.) One of my favorite experiences was having breakfast in the Indian Marble Garden next to the Astrolab Observatory Restaurant. The delightful song and movements of the yellow-bellied bananaquit kept me entertained while I lingered over my hot tea.
Hotel Kura Hulanda: It Takes a Village
The anthropological museum Museum Kura Hulanda is one of the things that makes Hotel Kura Hulanda unique, even among its peers in the Leading Small Hotels of the World. The museum provides and thought-provoking survey of the origin of man, African slave trade, West African Empires, Pre-Colombian gold, Mesopotamian relics and Antillean art. Next door is the open-air Kura Hulanda Museum Restaurant with its tasty healthy offerings.
The Kura Hulanda village also includes stylish art galleries, boutiques and a combination snack bar/gift shop.
