Booked the tower suite for my husband's birthday was absolutely out of this world, couldn't beat the view. Staff were attentive and had put out some flowers after I'd mentioned the reason for our stay. Perfectly located, breakfast was lovely. Will treasure this trip.

An architectural masterpiece/ best location.

Gorgeous Hotel, in one of Ghent’s most beautiful architectural landmarks. One feels they are staying in a museum of sorts. Perfect location. Bed linens fit for a King. Only drawback was my beautiful shower was up a steep staircase and if your mobility is challenged then this is a huge problem but I’m ever so glad I experienced this gem of an establishment. The staff is fantastic.
Hotel is top two floors of this building.
View from bar and stellar cocktail bartenders whose artistry is mesmerizing.
Hotel bar is second floor with the soaring windows.
You have access to your own private bar and stunningly beautiful room located in a turret.
