History
Ghent is a city that doesn't compete for your attention, it simply captures your heart. It is a destination that stands proudly in its own right, where medieval grandeur meets a pulse of modern, creative energy. The Ghent Marriott is an intrinsic part of this story. Built into a restored 16th-century merchant’s house on the iconic Korenlei, the hotel seamlessly integrates authentic Gothic beams with a dramatic glass atrium. It is a unique setting where the charm of medieval Ghent meets the comfort of modern luxury, right on the banks of the River Lys.

Perfectly positioned along the Korenlei, Ghent Marriott Hotel is the ideal starting point to explore a city where history and contemporary culture unfold side by side. Step outside and discover a destination that reveals itself gradually, inviting you to experience it at your own pace.
Ghent’s iconic skyline is defined by its three towers and the imposing Gravensteen, a medieval castle that rises unexpectedly in the heart of the city. Here, history is not confined to museums but lives on in the cobblestones, canals, and centuries-old facades that shape the city’s character.
Beyond its landmarks, Ghent offers a vibrant and layered urban experience. Independent boutiques and local designers bring a distinctive energy to areas such as the Zuid district, while neighbourhoods like Patershol invite you to wander through intimate streets filled with galleries, restaurants, and hidden corners. The recently restored Wintercircus reflects the city’s forward-looking creative scene.
Did you know? Ghent is home to the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, the world-renowned masterpiece by the Van Eyck brothers. Often described as the most frequently stolen artwork in history, it has been taken 13 times over six centuries.
Where Culture Comes to Life
Throughout the year, Ghent stands out as one of Europe’s most vibrant cultural destinations, where historic surroundings meet contemporary expression. The city comes alive during the Gentse Feesten, a ten-day festival that transforms its streets and squares into a dynamic stage for music, theatre, and performance. Events such as Ghent Jazz and Film Fest Ghent further reinforce its international cultural appeal, drawing artists and audiences from around the world.
Beyond its festivals, Ghent offers a rich cultural landscape that unfolds year-round. From the classical collections of the Museum of Fine Arts to the contemporary edge of S.M.A.K., the city balances heritage with innovation. Smaller galleries, theatres, and creative spaces add to its independent spirit, making culture in Ghent both accessible and constantly evolving.
Did you know? Film Fest Ghent is internationally recognized for its unique focus on the role of music in cinema, culminating each year in the prestigious World Soundtrack Awards.
