Curaçao Leading Small Hotel of the World opens new casino
Hotel Kura Hulanda’s new casino debuts on the heels of its new spa, a Leading Spa of the World
Willemstad, Curaçao (August 2006) – Hotel Kura Hulanda Spa & Casino has opened the doors to its brand new European-style, split-level boutique casino. Located on the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao, the casino is centrally located for cruise ship visitors, tourists and local residents alike.
The casino operates seven days a week from 10am to 2am with slot machines open at 10am and game tables open at 6pm. Gaming options include one American roulette table, two blackjack tables and a poker table where customers may enjoy six card casino stud poker or seven card stud poker. This is the only casino in Curaçao to offer seven card stud poker. There are 48 brand new Ainsworth Celebrity and Ambassador video monitor gaming machines, with the number set to double in the near future.
Situated along the waterfront of downtown Willemstad, the facility offers two entrances – one conveniently located on the exterior for local residents, guests of other hotel and cruise ship passengers, and a separate entrance within the walls of the Kura Hulanda complex, which is exclusive to hotel guests.
The casino currently offers free drinks, snacks and table match-play vouchers to game-playing patrons. During the cruise season additional incentives are offered to customers on board cruise ships.
This grand opening comes on the heels of last month’s announcement of the opening of the Kura Hulanda Spa, a state-of-the-art facility recognized as a Leading Spa of the World. The opening of the casino rounds out the eight block Kura Hulanda complex, which is also home to a world-class anthropological museum, two pools, three restaurants, including the award-winning fine dining at Astrolab, shops and boutiques, multiple courtyards and gardens, a courtyard bar, five-star hotel accommodations and more.
Located in Willemstad, Curaçao, the Hotel Kura Hulanda Spa and Casino is an 80-room luxury boutique resort featuring meticulously restored 18th and 19th century Dutch Colonial Caribbean buildings around several glorious courtyards. Hotel Kura Hulanda Spa & Casino, a member of Leading Small Hotels of the World, offers outstanding dining options and is part of a village complex known as Project Kura Hulanda, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
