Otrobanda, het kleurrijke culturele centrum in Willemstad, Curaçao

De naam betekent “de andere kant”. Otrobanda staat bekend als een van de meest artistieke wijken in Willemstad, de hoofdstad van Curaçao. Gelegen net over de brug van Punda, waar u de belangrijkste winkelstraten en toeristische attracties vindt. Deze buurt biedt een unieke kijk op de levendige straatkunst van Curaçao.

Hoewel veel toeristen naar de wijk Punda gaan om foto’s te maken van de kleurrijke huizen en gebouwen, zijn er veel rustigere zijstraten waar kunstenaars levendige taferelen hebben geschilderd die het leven op Curaçao uitbeelden, waaronder kleurrijke vissen die uit het water springen, vrouwen die paardrijden en zelfs de traditionele windmolens van het eiland.
In deze prachtige wijk in Willemstad staan veel historische gebouwen, zoals het voormalige Gouverneurspaleis, het oude stadhuis, de Sint-Nicolaaskerk, het oude schoolgebouw, het oude ziekenhuis en diverse andere. Er zijn hier ook verschillende musea en galeries.

De kleurrijke trappen zijn een van de meest gefotografeerde plekken in de stad. Zij bevinden zich bovenaan de Van Lennepstraat, waar u een prachtig uitzicht heeft op de boogbrug die de Koningin Julianabrug wordt genoemd. Een andere populaire plek om te bezoeken zijn de muurschilderingen die de passage tussen de Quinta-straat en de Cornelis Dirkswegh omzomen.

    De historische wijk van Willemstad

    Otrobanda was ooit een ruige buurt. Maar sinds de jaren negentig hebben kunstenaars en vrijwilligers de plek omgetoverd tot een bruisend kunstcentrum. Tegenwoordig zijn in Otrobanda tientallen muurschilderingen, beelden en kunstinstallaties te zien.

    In 1988 verklaarde de regering het gebied tot historisch monument en in 1997 kwam het op de Werelderfgoedlijst van de UNESCO. De buurt is ook de thuisbasis van verschillende galeries en musea gewijd aan de lokale geschiedenis. Een van de populairste attracties is het Kura Hulanda Museum en het Curaçao Museum. Er zijn ook veel restaurants en bars waar u kunt genieten van livemuziek en dansvoorstellingen.

    In 1634 stichtten de Nederlanders de havenstad Willemstad op het Caribische eiland. In 1795 werd het onderdeel van Nederlands West-Indië. Een eeuw later, in 1934, namen de Verenigde Staten bezit van de eilanden tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Tijdens de naoorlogse periode droeg de Amerikaanse regering Willemstad over aan Nederland, dat in 1986 de controle over de archipel terugkreeg.

    Willemstad ligt in het zuidelijkste deel van het hoofdeiland Curaçao, dat voor de kust van Venezuela ligt. De stad heeft ongeveer 45.000 inwoners. De meeste huizen zijn gebouwd rond pleintjes en straatjes, waardoor een typisch Nederlands patroon van woningbouw ontstaat. De oude wijk van de stad is omgeven door een muur uit het begin van de 18e eeuw. Dit gebied bevat vele voorbeelden van laatbarokke en neoklassieke gebouwen; sommige dateren uit de 19e eeuw.

    Er zijn ook talrijke kerken, waaronder de Basilica Santa Ana, het oudste kerkgebouw van Willemstad. Andere opmerkelijke gebouwen zijn het voormalige gouverneurspaleis, het stadhuis, het cultuurhuis, het kunstmuseum, de nationale bibliotheek, het scheepvaartmuseum, de oude gevangenis, de nieuwe gevangenis en de botanische tuinen. In Otrobanda staat ook het eerste verpleeghuis. Dit gebouw ligt in het Kura Hulanda Village, waar ook het prachtige boetiekhotel “Kura Botanica” is gevestigd.

    Rif Fort & Renaissance Mall

    De Renaissance Shopping Mall ligt in Otrobanda, naast een van de acht forten van Curaçao. Dit fort heet Rif Fort en ligt aan de ingang van de St. Lawrence rivier. Anna Bay. In 1824 werd besloten dat de verdediging van Curaçao verbeterd moest worden omdat deze verouderd was. In opdracht van luitenant-generaal Krayenhoff begon de bouw in 1828. Naast het militaire doel van de bouw zorgde het ook voor werkgelegenheid op het eiland.

    Het fort had 56 kanonnen. Tegenwoordig herbergt het riffort een winkelcentrum met vele winkels, restaurants, cafés, bars, bioscopen en uitgaansgelegenheden.

    Koningin Emma Brug

    De Koningin Emmabrug is de brug in de Sint-Annabaai die de 2 districten Punda en Otrobanda verbindt. De brug gaat regelmatig open zodat schepen de haven kunnen binnenvaren.
    De brug werd gebouwd in 1988 en is sindsdien verschillende keren gerenoveerd. De lichtbogen werden geïnstalleerd ter gelegenheid van het bezoek van koningin Juliana en prins Bernard in 1955.
    Elke keer als de brug open gaat, zijn er twee veerboten om je naar de overkant te brengen. Vergeet niet deze prachtige brug ’s middags te bekijken, zodat u versteld zult staan van de mooie en kleurrijke huizen. Vergeet ook niet om het ’s nachts te zien met al die magische lichtjes.

    Wow! In a word, great... top service. You will receive a very warm welcome from Miguel. From the start you feel more than welcome. That's because of the entire team and the atmosphere there. If there is a problem, they are immediately available to help you. Super nice accommodation, perfect location. You can explore the entire island with a rental car and you can park it safely at the accommodation. In short, more than satisfied with this accommodation!

    End of july we stayed for 9 nights at Kura Botanica, and to be honest it was a fantastic experience! A really calm, nice hotel near to the city center. Pleasant and enjoyable people with Miguel and Derrel in particular. Room was spacious, clean, nice and very good airco (really important). Breakfast at Bario is only 2 minutes away from the hotel, but doesn't bother at all. When you return in the afternoon or evening at the hotel then there is always Derrel at the bar who is curious about your day (we really missed him when he had his day off).Hotel is a recommendation when you want a calm nice clean hotel near to the city center (and when you want to meet the 2 nicest people in Curaçao 😁)

    I had a wonderful holiday here with my adult children. Enjoy breakfast at Restaurant Bario nearby, drink delicious cocktails from friendly bartender Derrel at the pool bar or relax in the pool. An occasional chat with charming Miguel, who also gave us new beach towels for the pool. We had a lovely time. Thank you!

    Very good hotel! Rooms are really 1000/10! The staff is super friendly and happy to chat with you, especially the sweet Miquel and Derrel. It is super clean and very well cared for! I would really recommend everyone to go here. Small is beautiful! A nice homely atmosphere and super nice that everyone has their own entrance to your “house”/room! The courtyard outside the hotel is also super cozy with small shops and restaurants! Hotel is in a perfect location! Only a few minutes' walk to Willemstad (you can get there within 5 minutes). Once again highly recommended!

    Smelled amazing when you walked in, couldn't help but smile. location is perfect. In the middle of it all but yet, private and quiet. I can't say enough about customer service! Miguel is absolutely wonderful, put a smile on my face every time we interacted. He was helpful and even walked us around to show us what was near the hotel.Best hospitality/customer service I have ever experienced and I have traveled all over the world.

    Beautiful, nice and service-oriented boutique hotel in the heart of Willemstad.To be clear: If you book via Corendon: certainly not a 5* hotel (a good 4 is better). Missing some critical things. But they make up for it with great service!A quick summary of plus and minus pointsPlus:-Location. The heart of Willemstad. In the middle of restored Otrabanda. 15 minutes walk from Nieuwstraat. Nevertheless, very quiet.-Service: employees are super friendly and helpful.-Rooms. Rooms are clean and beds great. Nice shower. Are cleaned every day. And I mean really cleaned.-Nice poolside bar where there is a lot of chatting in the evening.-Adult only. Really nice.Minus:-No beach access. This is not something that you can blame the hotel for, but it is stated differently on the Corendon site. If you want to go to a beach, you will have to arrange that yourself. Otherwise they would have gotten 5 stars for location.-Swimming pool is quite small for 46 rooms. There are approximately 13 beds, so on busy check-out days: do the math.-Breakfast. They have outsourced breakfast to a restaurant nearby (Bario). Not a buffet but a la carte. During our stay we suffered from long waiting times. Kura management then took steps and things improved.-No gym.Extras:-If you stay here, it is wise to arrange a car for at least a few days.-Be informed by the hotel management about where to eat/be etc etc.

    I had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica in Curacao. This boutique hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The rooms were not only nice but also impeccably clean, which is always a priority for me when traveling. The location is fantastic, being so close to Brionplein and Punda, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings.The ambiance at Kura Botanica is truly special. It radiates charm and offers a tranquil atmosphere that made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff was welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.I would highly recommend Kura Botanica to anyone looking for a cozy and well-maintained boutique hotel in Curacao. It's a gem that ensures a delightful stay in this beautiful destination.

    Hotel with a beautiful garden, in the middle of a historic village. The service from the staff has always been friendly and multilingual. The room we stayed in was new and the bed was excellent!However, some problems were observed. They didn't replace the amenities for our last night, nor did they even collect a towel that was on the floor.The shower is also not separated from the rest of the bathroom, there is no curtain or shower stall which makes the bathroom wet. There was also a lack of support for soap and shampoo, which are on the floor.The parking lot is far away and you need to either walk with your bags or take your car close to the entrance and then return to the parking lot.But the worst thing for me was the breakfast. it is served in another hotel and there is no variety, it doesn't change between days, it is very simple and contained. You can just have a coffee and a juice and not repeat it. On the first day we were treated very poorly, even harshly, which made us not want to go back the next day.

    Great place to stay. Renovated only recently and rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and polite. Pool is a bit small but perfect to relax at the end of day. Or whenever you start your day later.Breakfast is in collaboration with a place 1min away and is taken good care off. Choices and taste are overall just good.They did tell Kura B is planning to build their own kitchen in the near future. But the 1min (literally) walk shouldn't trouble you.

    We are locals and wanted a relaxing escape from our usual routine. This place was extremely relaxing, with a beautiful pool surrounded by large trees to provide a great mix of shade and sun. The hotel is very well located with many great restaurants within a few minutes walk. The rooms are very well designed for an authentic Curacao experience. We would highly recommend a stay to both couples as to individuals visiting Curacao.

    I think this is best hotel in Curaçao!It is sweet and charming, the rooms are very clean and well kept. It is comprised of several buildings within the property. Vivid colours both inside and outside of the rooms. Lots of lush foliage and very serene, literally perfect for retreating from busyness and embracing relaxation.It’s tucked in Kura Hulanda village so there’s plenty to do and eat without walking more than 10 minutes but I recommend exploring nearby neighbourhoods like Otrabanda (where the hotel is), Punda and Pietermaai which are all walking distanceWhat’s most memorable is the keen hospitality of the KB team. I felt welcomed throughout the duration of my stay, not just upon arrival. They happily answered every question I had and was consistently kind and helpful.Janette, Teresa, Disney, Darrel, Rosalita, and the young lady w the cute headscarf that complimented my crocs - you guys are amazing!My only regret is leaving such a good review bc now I risk KB not being available when I return!

They have outsourced breakfast to a restaurant nearby (Bario). Not a buffet but a la carte. During our stay we suffered from long waiting times. Kura management then took steps and things improved.-No gym.Extras:-If you stay here, it is wise to arrange a car for at least a few days.-Be informed by the hotel management about where to eat/be etc etc.

    I had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica in Curacao. This boutique hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The rooms were not only nice but also impeccably clean, which is always a priority for me when traveling. The location is fantastic, being so close to Brionplein and Punda, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings.The ambiance at Kura Botanica is truly special. It radiates charm and offers a tranquil atmosphere that made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff was welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.I would highly recommend Kura Botanica to anyone looking for a cozy and well-maintained boutique hotel in Curacao. It's a gem that ensures a delightful stay in this beautiful destination.

    Amazing boutique adult only hotel. One suggestion ... full length mirrors. Excellent service. Kind staff. Free cappuccinos if you ask nicely. Very close to all of Willemstad. Many amazing restaurants near by. The retail shops had such great selections of clothing and souvenirs. Highly recommend!!

    Hotel with a beautiful garden, in the middle of a historic village. The service from the staff has always been friendly and multilingual. The room we stayed in was new and the bed was excellent!However, some problems were observed. They didn't replace the amenities for our last night, nor did they even collect a towel that was on the floor.The shower is also not separated from the rest of the bathroom, there is no curtain or shower stall which makes the bathroom wet. There was also a lack of support for soap and shampoo, which are on the floor.The parking lot is far away and you need to either walk with your bags or take your car close to the entrance and then return to the parking lot.But the worst thing for me was the breakfast. it is served in another hotel and there is no variety, it doesn't change between days, it is very simple and contained. You can just have a coffee and a juice and not repeat it. On the first day we were treated very poorly, even harshly, which made us not want to go back the next day.

    Great place to stay. Renovated only recently and rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and polite. Pool is a bit small but perfect to relax at the end of day. Or whenever you start your day later.Breakfast is in collaboration with a place 1min away and is taken good care off. Choices and taste are overall just good.They did tell Kura B is planning to build their own kitchen in the near future. But the 1min (literally) walk shouldn't trouble you.

    We are locals and wanted a relaxing escape from our usual routine. This place was extremely relaxing, with a beautiful pool surrounded by large trees to provide a great mix of shade and sun. The hotel is very well located with many great restaurants within a few minutes walk. The rooms are very well designed for an authentic Curacao experience. We would highly recommend a stay to both couples as to individuals visiting Curacao.

    I think this is best hotel in Curaçao!It is sweet and charming, the rooms are very clean and well kept. It is comprised of several buildings within the property. Vivid colours both inside and outside of the rooms. Lots of lush foliage and very serene, literally perfect for retreating from busyness and embracing relaxation.It’s tucked in Kura Hulanda village so there’s plenty to do and eat without walking more than 10 minutes but I recommend exploring nearby neighbourhoods like Otrabanda (where the hotel is), Punda and Pietermaai which are all walking distanceWhat’s most memorable is the keen hospitality of the KB team. I felt welcomed throughout the duration of my stay, not just upon arrival. They happily answered every question I had and was consistently kind and helpful.Janette, Teresa, Disney, Darrel, Rosalita, and the young lady w the cute headscarf that complimented my crocs - you guys are amazing!My only regret is leaving such a good review bc now I risk KB not being available when I return!

    What a great holiday we had here!Very new boutique hotel where nothing is too much to ask.A super service with people who do everything they can to make your holiday the best!Rooms are very nice, modern and spacious!Location is perfect to stay away from the hustle and bustle, but still be close to the center.The district is in full bloom and is very pleasant to be in. A drink, a snack in a quiet setting where most tourists have not yet found their way. A gem!Breakfast at Maira's kitchen was great!Thank you to all staff! You make the experience and trip even more beautiful.GreetingsKaren and Yannick

    We had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica! It just opened, everything is new, thought about and the service is nothing short of amazing!It is beautifully situated in the middle of Willemstad, close to the Pontjesbrug, in a neighborhood that exudes and exudes innovation. The people are fantastic, the breakfast at Maira delicious. We would like to come back soon!Amelia and Martin

    This fully renewed boutique hotel is truly a beauty. Completely renovated, it lies in historic Willemstad on one minute walking distance of the Anna Bay and very close to some of the nicest beaches in Curacao
