Closest hotel: Curaçao Airport Hotel

The Curaçao Airport Hotel is on F.D. Rooseveltweg, about 1 km from the terminal. It has a pool, a rooftop restaurant and a casino. Older listings show the name Hotel Holland at the same address.

The hotel runs an airport shuttle for $10 per room one way between 06:00 and 21:00, which you book 24 hours ahead. It is a practical choice for a late arrival or an early flight.
