Step back in time with us at Victoria City Hotel Aruba, one of the island’s oldest hotels, nestled in the heart of Aruba’s bustling tourism hub. Our history is a rich tapestry woven through the decades, vividly captured in a collection of old photographs that tell our story.

When the doors of Victoria City Hotel first opened in October 1969 by François Croes, it wasn’t just the beginning of a new lodging—it was the start of a cultural landmark. Situated on Nassau Straat, then one of Aruba’s most pivotal streets, the hotel, originally known as Hotel Victoria, quickly became a cornerstone of hospitality. Over the years, Nassau Straat has transformed into Caya Betico Croes, but its significance remains, connecting guests to the colorful array of attractions Aruba has to offer.
As we walk through the corridors of our history, each photograph in our archive—from black and white shots of the bustling early days to the colorful transformations of the late 20th century—highlights a chapter of our evolution. These images showcase not only the architectural changes but also the faces and events that have shaped our identity.
From its inception, Victoria City Hotel has witnessed the island’s growth into a vibrant tourist destination. The evolution from Hotel Victoria to today’s modern Victoria City Hotel reflects the dynamic changes of the entire region. Each room, hallway, and common area holds stories of the guests who have passed through our doors, each adding to the hotel’s legacy.
While we honor our past, we are also steering towards a promising future. Our ongoing transformation into the premier Urban City Boutique Hotel includes not just physical renovations but also redefining our guest experience to merge Aruba’s rich culture and natural beauty with contemporary luxury.
We invite you to explore our history more deeply and see for yourself how Victoria City Hotel has stood the test of time, adapting and thriving. Our history is not just preserved in the photos that line our walls but in the memories we create every day with our guests.
As we continue to evolve, the spirit of Aruba remains at the heart of everything we do. Come, stay, and be a part of our continuing story—a narrative of rejuvenation, unmatched hospitality, and the indomitable spirit of Aruba.
