The hotel occupies a landmark building on Korenmarkt, a short 5 minute walk from the Graslei quay and about 10 minutes on foot from St. Bavo's Cathedral, making it a convenient base for sightseeing in Ghent. Rooms and suites feature high ceilings or sloped roofs, king-size beds, and free WiFi, and many offer street or canal views; bring a camera for the light on the river at dawn. Guests often tell staff they first noticed the original post office tiles in the lobby, a small detail that points to the building's past and makes the stay feel more personal.
Shared areas include The Kitchen, where an open fireplace sets a relaxed tone for an American buffet breakfast or a late coffee, and The Cobbler cocktail bar, known locally for creative cocktails and fine tapas. The hotel also has a meeting room for up to 10 people, useful for small business gatherings or a quiet workspace after a day of exploring. Antwerp International Airport is about 33 miles away by road, and it is easy to reach Ghent by train from Brussels or Antwerp, so pack comfortable shoes and call it a day in one of Ghent's most atmospheric hotels.
