The 171-square-mile island
of Curaçao is located in the
Caribbean Sea, 42 miles east
of Aruba and 35 miles north
of South America. White-sand
beaches, spectacular diving,
a historical downtown area,
Dutch-colonial architecture, modern infrastructure
and an abundance of restaurants and bars are just a
few things that make this island the perfect destination
to combine business with pleasure.
Set on the shores of Piscadera Bay along two private
beaches, the deluxe Hilton Curaçao is just 10 minutes
from the Hato International Airport and 5 minutes
from Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao. This
196-room resort offers your group the opportunity
to take advantage of all that the island has to offer. A
full-service spa, scuba diving, a Vegas-style casino,
snorkeling and tennis are amongst the many activities
offered on property.
Exploring nearby historic sites, lingering on endless
beaches or taking in the island’s lively history and
culture are among visitors’ favorite pastimes. Some
of the world’s best scuba diving is found in the waters
off Curaçao and snorkeling over vividly colored coral
reefs is not to be missed.
At Hilton Curaçao, your group will savor this island
location while enjoying resort luxury Hilton-style. And
now, U.S. taxpayers can claim the same tax deduction
for expenses associated with conventions in the
Netherlands Antilles as they do for U.S.-based events.
That makes this beautiful resort an exciting – and
smart – meetings choice.
