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

Beyond the quiet comfort of your stay, Ghent’s historic core and Museum Quarter offer experiences that will truly inspire you. At the MSK, you can witness the live restoration of the world-famous Ghent Altarpiece, while S.M.A.K. across the street challenges you with provocative contemporary art. Explore Ghent’s high-tech evolution at STAM, discover functional beauty at the Design Museum, or spark curiosity at The House of Kina. From the 15th-century majesty of St. Bavo’s to the city’s vibrant street art, Ghent offers a journey as enriching as it is unexpected.
