The hotel will become the first Autograph Collection resort in the destination and will increase Marriott International’s footprint within its All-Inclusive by Marriott Bonvoy portfolio.
(Curaçao, April 25, 2023) Autograph Collection Hotels today celebrated the groundbreaking of the Pyrmont, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort, expected to be the first Autograph Collection branded hotel in Curaçao. The resort will feature 300 guest rooms with mesmerizing ocean views out of which 28 are suites, in addition to the thoughtful amenities that distinguish this global collection of independent hotels.
Minister of Traffic for Transport & Urban Planning Charles Cooper, Vice President of Operations for EPDG Hospitality Management Mark Nooren, and Area Vice President Caribbean & Managing Director All-Inclusive for Marriott International Alex Fiz, presided over the event.
“The groundbreaking of The Pyrmont marks a thrilling moment for Marriott International, EPDG Hospitality Management, and Curaçao’s tourism market,” said Alex Fiz, Area Vice President Caribbean & Managing Director All-Inclusive for Marriott International. “Curaçao is truly one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive resort destinations, an ideal fit for the first Autograph Collection branded hotel in the island, and a new hub for its discerning guests and more than 180 million Marriott Bonvoy members that look for a stay like nothing else in a convenient all-inclusive format.”
“The addition of the brand to the island will diversify the hotel offerings in the country, marking an important milestone for Curaçao’s tourism industry,” said Charles Cooper, Minister of Traffic for Transport & Urban Planning.
Set within a community committed to the continued preservation of the environment, The Pyrmont is expected to adhere to the highest standards of sustainable and conservation-oriented development. This includes the project’s energy efficiency efforts, which incorporates solar panels on complete roof surface to produce 1 million kWh per year; Ocean Water Assisted Cooling (OWAC) by Omega Engineering, a hyper sustainable and profitable surface ocean water cooling reducing 50% - 60% of the energy consumption on air-conditioning of the hotel.
“We are creating a world-class destination with The Pyrmont and are proud to bring a new level of experiential travel to Curaçao,” said Mark Nooren, Vice President of Operations for EPDG Hospitality Management. “The resort is slated to be developed in the heart of downtown within the lively Pietermaai District and will be complemented by the remarkable design by the architecture firm Filosofia do Espaço and the bespoke service of the Autograph Collection brand. Meanwhile, the all-inclusive setup will enhance the experience for visitors of all ages and parts of the world.”
The construction of the Pyrmont is expected to be finalized in the end of 2025 and will feature 8 restaurants, 5 bars, a kids club, a diving and water sports center, infinity pool, an adults-only roof top, a 250-meter-long boardwalk and water breaker, which will create a spectacular beach and pool area, and will also feature a wedding gazebo for memorable events.
