Curacao Marriott Beach Resort Reopens after $40 Million Renovation

Tucked into the coast of Curaçao, Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort reopens today after undergoing a $40 million renovation. Managed by Aimbridge Hospitality, the 336-room hotel is positioned on six acres of oceanfront real estate overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

The redesigned space, renovated to represent the latest innovative design thinking from the Marriott Hotels brand, is set to become the ultimate Caribbean destination for the active traveler who enjoys diving and swimming, alongside relaxing and enjoying the island’s famous tropical weather.

Design

Reflecting Marriott Hotels’ ethos of creating inspirational spaces where guests can be their best selves, the design of the hotel is clean and contemporary with hints of Dutch naval and nautical inspiration throughout the property.

This includes Dutch Colonial Architecture combined with Plantation-style elements – welcoming guests to an open-air modern lobby with incredible views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea. The color palette consists of soothing neutrals, accessorized with blues and turquoise to reflect the local Caribbean waters.

Pops of orange and brown wood tones are woven throughout the property to mimic Earthy tones. Each guest room is equipped with private balconies, ocean or pool views, large flat-screen TVs, plush bedding and spa-grade bathrooms. Each room is adorned with artwork made from local recycled plastics.

Culinary

Award-winning Caribbean-born Chef Dino Jagtiani will be responsible for opening and refining all culinary experiences on property including a fine dining restaurant called C-Spice and multiple bars including a craft cocktail bar and pool bar.

The C-Spice restaurant features Caribbean fare with hints of European and Latin American flavors. The restaurant will offer guests inside or outside dining adjacent to the courtyard that features a cigar lounge and bar with premium rums and spirits.

Meetings

Boasting 20,000 square feet of outdoor space, the resort also offers two ballrooms including the 5,000-square-foot Royal Ballroom and 3,000-square-foot Queens Ballroom. Surrounded by lush greenery, a botanical garden can be used for events in addition to a 10,000-square-foot oceanfront space set on the resort’s white-sand beach.

Amenities + Resort Programming

Ideally situated just minutes from the island’s historic capital, the hotel has multiple amenities for guest to enjoy including an adult and family-friendly pool, a kids club and a walking path connected to the property.

There is also a state-of-the-art gym with daily classes including yoga, Pilates, pool fitness and more. Guests can also take advantage of live entertainment in the lobby on weekends as well as the Reef Club which offers a private lounge setting with food and beverages.
