The Hotel · Since 1892

A merchant house, re-composed.

The building began as a Punda merchant property in 1892 and has carried the quarter's history ever since, registered a protected monument in 1962, inscribed within UNESCO's Historic Willemstad in 1997.

Our restoration treats every inch as a single object: lime-washed walls, oak and woven fiber, sheer linen that breathes with the trade winds, and the brass crest glowing quietly over the lobby. Not a renovation, a re-composition.

The quiet comforts, considered.

Boutique does not mean going without. Every room is individually composed inside the monument with the essentials done properly, and a few things you will not find next door.

Individual air-conditioning

Silent split A/C in every room, with a ceiling fan in several, plus trade-wind cross-ventilation through the old sash windows.

02

Fast fibre Wi-Fi

Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the house and the café, strong enough to work the morning away downstairs.

03

Rain showers & brass

Walk-in rain showers with solid brass fixtures, majolica-tiled baths and organic mirrors, the bathrooms are a room of their own.

04

Van Gogh coffee downstairs

A 4.7-star specialty coffee bar on the ground floor, your first espresso is two flights away, opening at 8am.

05

Concierge & luggage hold

Airport pickup arranged on request, complimentary luggage hold before check-in and after check-out, and a 24-hour concierge line.

06

A protected 1892 monument

Lime-washed walls, exposed beams, oak and woven fibre, a registered heritage house, re-composed room by room rather than renovated.

07

Steps from the bridge

Two minutes on foot to the Queen Emma Bridge and the painted Handelskade; the whole UNESCO city is walkable from the door.

08

US dollars accepted

Pay in USD, guilders or by card. Book direct for the lowest rate, free cancellation up to 7 days, and no platform fees.

09

Elevator to every floor

An elevator serves the upper floors of the monument, so the lofts and balcony rooms are an easy ride up after a day exploring Willemstad on foot.

10

Every room has an in-room safe for passports, cards and valuables, and reception is staffed around the clock for anything you need, day or night.
