Your Gateway to Ghent’s Best

A City Full of Surprises

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.
