- An inspiring start to your day: Come morning, head to the hotel’s stunning breakfast room and sun terrace for panoramic views of the city while you eat. The breakfast buffet has a great continental selection of meats, cheeses, cereal, bread and much more to enjoy while you gaze over the rising city.
- History abounds: The hotel is an elegant combination of two historic buildings; one part a converted cotton factory from 1857, the other a restored Renaissance house from 1518. Some rooms still have evidence of their past, exhibiting the original brick walls and oak beams of the factory.
- A unique setting: Ghent River Hotel is the only hotel in the city which can be reached by boat, and the riverside terrace is a great place to sit back and watch the world go by or enjoy an afternoon coffee after a morning sightseeing. Its cosy bar serves a selection of Belgian beers and other beverages for pre- and post-dinner drinks.
The nearest airport is Brussels, approximately a one-hour drive away from the hotel. If you wish to travel by train, the Eurostar from London takes just three hours, and the journey from Gent-Sint-Pieters to the hotel takes roughly 20 minutes by taxi or bus.
