The Hilton Curaçao
This island in the Netherlands Antilles offers
the requisite pleasant breezes, beaches and deliriously blue
waters. But on Curaçao, all this is played out on a decidedly
cosmopolitan canvas.
In the tidy capital of Willemstad, visitors will find a range of
dining experiences, from tasty local fish to upscale European
fare.
Top meeting hotels include the 196-room Hilton Curaçao (formerly
a Sheraton). After Hilton Caribbean assumed management last spring,
the property began a top-to-bottom renovation of all guest rooms,
public areas and meeting space, to wrap up this fall.
For R&R, visit the hotel’s spa and beach, or head farther
afield for reef diving or, best of all, a swim with the dolphins at
the Curaçao Seaquarium.
