For a romantic night in Ghent, we recommend the Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof. Located in the centre of the city, this magnificent 4* hotel has an excellent gastronomic restaurant and a large spa area. Looking for a more original experience? Head to 1898 The Post. This luxury boutique hotel is housed in a former post office. The history of the building is reflected in the names of the rooms: choose between The Stamp, The Envelope, The Letter or The Postcard and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city.

We've fallen in love with The Green Attic: this rare gem near the center of Ghent offers rates from €75 per night. The perfect little hideaway for a weekend for two! The loft is incredibly cozy and warm. After spending the day strolling around the city, you can slip into the large bathtub, surrounded by plants and lit by the subdued light of garlands... a romantic atmosphere guaranteed. Available dates are going fast, so don't hesitate!

A bucolic and exotic stay awaits you!
