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.
Taste Ghent’s Local Food & Drink Culture
Local Chocolates
Skip the mass-produced souvenir boxes. Ghent’s local chocolatiers treat chocolate like art, blending classic Belgian techniques with unexpected flavors like local herbs and sea salt.
The Local Brews
Belgian beer needs no introduction, but Ghent has its own spin. Alongside classic heavy tripels, you can try medieval-style beers brewed with a unique blend of herbs instead of hops. They are best enjoyed in a cozy, brick-walled tavern.
Ghent Comfort Food
On a cool day, nothing beats Gentse Waterzooi, a rich, creamy chicken or fish stew that has been a local favorite for centuries. Pair it with a side of double-fried Belgian fries and you are set.
Escape to a World of Ultimate Relaxation
We’ve partnered with Hof Ter Donk to offer our guests exclusive access to a wellness sanctuary that embodies calm, elegance, and purity. In this authentic setting surrounded by refined design, time seems to slow down as you unwind in absolute tranquility.
