Our Focus on Sustainability

From reducing waste, water and energy use to responsibly sourcing our food and beverage ingredients, our sustainable practices are embedded throughout the hotel.

Electric Vehicle Charging

On-site charging stations make it easy for guests to continue their journey by electric vehicle and reduce transport-related emissions.

Purified Water Stations

Guests can refill the carafe provided in their room at our water station, helping reduce the need for single-use bottled water.

Your Choice Housekeeping

Guests may decline daily housekeeping and receive Marriott Bonvoy points, while helping us save water, energy and cleaning products.

Our Focus on Community Engagement

From supporting local producers to showcasing Ghent’s culinary craftsmanship, our community engagement efforts include: strengthening our connection with the local community.
