Description
The Ghent River Hotel has its own jetty and it is the only hotel in Ghent that is accessible by boat. The hotel consists of a Renaissance house dating from 1518 and an old factory that dates from 1857. Both buildings are connected by a very modern section. In front of the hotel is a little square that served as a cotton market during the Middle Ages and the nineteenth century. Next to the hotel is a typical medieval 'little water street'. A few minutes' walk from the hotel you will find the Vrijdagsmarkt.
The warmly decorated rooms are charming. To relax, guests can use the sauna (at a charge) and free fitness facilities. The medieval cellar is a great place for a cocktail party, a private dinner or a product presentation. The hotel has meeting rooms with a capacity of up to 50 persons.
