Loved this place! It felt like stepping back in time. Everything was comfortable, I had an amazing cocktail at The Cobbler, and the location was perfect. I’ll never stay anywhere else when visiting Gent.

BrazilPerfect location in the middle of it all and a short walk to everything. Beautiful property which hosts probably the most upscale bar in all of Ghent. I highly recommend this property for location, comfort, and overall ease of seeing Ghent by foot. Beautiful rooms, in room amenities, and attention to detail throughout the hotel decor.
