Discover our Heritage

Nestled within the historic walls of 'T Klooster Hotel in the heart of Willemstad, Curaçao, our restaurant invites you to experience a unique culinary journey that is steeped in rich history and cultural heritage. Our establishment is more than just a place to dine; it is a gateway to the past, offering a glimpse into the fascinating story of 'T Klooster Hotel.

Originally constructed in 1936, the building that now houses 'T Klooster Hotel and its restaurant was initially a monastery for the Brothers of Tilburg, a Roman Catholic order dedicated to education and missionary work. For decades, the brothers lived and worked within these walls, contributing to the spiritual and social fabric of Curaçao. The monastery’s architecture, characterized by serene courtyards, arched doorways, and robust coral stone walls, provided a peaceful retreat for the brothers, fostering an atmosphere of reflection and community.

By the late 20th century, the role of the monastery had evolved, and the need for a large religious residence diminished. Recognizing the historical significance of the building, it underwent extensive renovations in 2008 to transform it into 'T Klooster Hotel. These renovations were meticulously carried out to preserve the historical integrity of the structure, allowing it to retain its unique charm while adapting to modern hospitality standards.



Today, our restaurant is situated within this beautifully restored building, offering diners a chance to enjoy their meals surrounded by the timeless elegance of the former monastery. The high ceilings, arched doorways, and tranquil courtyards create a serene and inviting ambiance, perfect for a memorable dining experience.
