Bed down at an elegant 19th-century hotel in the historic hub of Ghent - includes breakfast and more

Steeped in history: Housed in a lovingly-restored building that dates back to 1865, the setting of this classical charmer couldn’t be more central; bang opposite the 800-year-old Castle of the Counts, also known as the Gravensteen. Add to the mix the lovely guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms and ample modern must-haves, and it’s easy to see why this historic city sleep steps out ahead of its competitors.
-
Morning goodness: Step into the cosy ambience of the breakfast room and replenish your energy with a hearty breakfast buffet spread. From warm bread rolls to fresh fruit, healthy cereals, freshly squeezed orange juice and more, there's something to suit everybody's tastes. You could also swing by the stylish Bar Donjon for local and regional beers or a refreshing cup of coffee.

Dreamy sightseeing: It may not be as famous as Brussels and Bruges, but the Belgian city of Ghent is the quirky medieval marvel that tempts with awe-inspiring art and architecture, quaint cobbled streets, top-notch museums, canal-side pathways, world-famous beers, and artisan chocolatiers - don't miss this less-visited gem.
How to get there
The hotel is around 68 kilometres from Brussels Airport, roughly an hour's drive. It's also possible to take the Intercity Direct between Brussels and Ghent, then change for a local bus to take you through the city.
