Historic & Cultural

The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb

Ghent is a gem of Flanders – medieval, energetic, and layered with art, canals, beer, and flavor. At Marriott Ghent, we invite you to go beyond your room and experience the city like a local. Begin your journey at Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and the spiritual heart of the city.

Medieval Ghent: Castles and Canals

Step into history at Gravensteen Castle, a 12th-century fortress in the heart of Ghent. Once the seat of the Counts of Flanders, the castle offers a glimpse into medieval life with its grand halls, towers, and winding staircases. From the ramparts, enjoy panoramic views of the city’s rooftops and canals.

Three Towers View

Nowhere else in Belgium will you find a skyline as iconic as Ghent’s three towers. Rising proudly in the historic center, the trio of Saint Nicholas Church, the Belfry of Ghent, and Saint Bavo’s Cathedral form the city’s most famous panorama.

Museums & Culture

Explore Ghent’s Museums and Culture

Ghent is a city where history, creativity, and innovation meet. At Marriott Ghent, you’re just steps away from some of Belgium’s most inspiring museums. Discover timeless works at the Museum of Fine Arts, showcasing Flemish masters, or experience bold perspectives at S.M.A.K., the contemporary art museum. Step into Ghent’s story at the STAM City Museum, where immersive exhibits bring the city’s rich past and present to life. For design enthusiasts, the Design Museum Ghent highlights furniture, applied arts, and innovative creations. Families will love the House of Kina, a child-friendly nature museum where interactive exhibits spark curiosity about animals, science, and biodiversity. Whether your passion is art, history, or discovery, Ghent’s museums offer an enriching cultural journey for every visitor.

Beer, Food & Local Flavors

Taste Ghent’s Local Food & Drink Culture

Ghent is a city best savored through its flavors. From centuries-old brewing traditions to modern culinary innovation, food and drink are at the heart of the local culture. Visit Gruut Brewery to taste unique craft beers brewed with historical herb blends instead of hops. For a quirky experience, head to Dulle Griet and order the famous “Max” beer served in an oversized glass — just don’t forget you’ll need to leave a shoe as a deposit. Foodies will love exploring the Great Butcher’s Hall, where Ghent’s legendary Ganda ham and other specialties celebrate the region’s meat traditions. Indulge in Belgian cuisine at iconic restaurants like Pakhuis or Georges, or wander into hidden cafes and chocolate ateliers to uncover sweet surprises. Whether you’re raising a glass of Belgian beer or savoring pralines, Ghent serves up an authentic taste of Flemish culture.
