Poel 1, 9000 Gent, Belgium

Ghent is rich in diversity - from a smorgasbord of cuisines dished up by globally-inspired restaurants, to a far-reaching music and theatre scene. Modern art galleries jostle for space alongside history-rich museums, and with its intriguing mix of traditional Flemish culture and 21st-century Belgian living, you're guaranteed an experience rich in wonder and variety. This city is ripe for exploration: rub shoulders with locals at thriving markets, explore pretty squares, kick back at a characterful drinking den or two, and shop your heart out at a clutch of hip boutiques.

A plethora of historic landmarks and unmissable attractions are within walking distance from the hotel, including Korenmarkt Square, the 14th-century belfry, the preserved 10th-century Gravensteen castle, and the scenic Graslei street - all less than 10 minutes away on foot.
