Pietermaai is the restored historic district just east of Punda where once-crumbling colonial mansions now house boutique hotels, cafés, cocktail bars and the city's best nightlife.
A short walk from the hotel, "Pietermaai Smal" is a strip of beautifully faded-then-revived facades, candlelit courtyards and waterfront bars.
By day it is quiet and photogenic; by night it is where Willemstad goes out
It is the place for a stylish dinner or a late drink after exploring Punda.
