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.

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.
