More Info:
The heart of the Avila Beach Hotel is a beautiful Dutch Colonial style mansion, which today houses the lobby and various executive offices of the hotel. It is estimated that the original mansion was built at the end of the 18th century. During the British rule at the beginning of the 19th century, it became the residence of the British Governors and later on that of the Dutch. The original part of the complex was called "La Belle Alliance". Another building of great historical importance on the Avila grounds is the charming seaside cupolo known as the Octagon because of its octagonal shape. Around 1812, the Venezuelan liberator Simón Bolívar and his two sisters took refuge at the Octagon during their time of exile from the Venezuelan war of independence against Spain. Today this building serves as a small museun in memory of the connection between Simón Bolívar and Curaçao. The historical ambiance and romantic seaside setting are perfect for hosting elegant wedding receptions, special meetings, poetry readings and concerts.
The Avila's a step back in time and a step forward in vacation pleasure. A special place to make a little history of your own. Regardless of improvements, current and yet to come, guests can remain assured that the core values that make up the hotel's philosophy will remain untouched. The Avila Beach Hotel has a rich history and a bright future as one of Curaçao's premium sophisticated hotels.
