Location
Gravensteen Hotel is located right in the middle of Ghent's town centre and very close to the 800-year-old Castle of Counts, from which the Counts of Flanders once ruled the area. The Hotel is housed in a 19th century mansion, which has been completely renovated in its original Second Empire style. The hotel is charmingly decorated and provides modern comfort in a restful atmosphere.
Rooms
The hotel offers 49 personified rooms at your disposal, equipped with all modern comfort.
Restaurant
You can start your day with a rich and varied breakfast buffet in the atmospheric breakfast room.
General
The two conference rooms are ideal for the organisation of a seminar, a product presentation, a cocktail party and dinner. To relax or work out, you can use the sauna and fitness centre.
The concierge/receptionist (I can't recall his name) was five-star in his helpfullness and professional courtesy! Absolutely excellent. Ghent is a logistical nightmare to navigate and he clearly mapped out my exit from town. Loved the city and the hotel but no hotel can be sensibly located in this medieval town. The Gravensteen, however, is within a block of the Castle which does give it a good location. Please see Ghent but take a train not a car! - 28-Apr-2005 Good hotel with an excellent location near the castle in the center of the city, helpful staff, big and nice breakfasts, very clean and pleasant rooms, althought the matresses and pillows can be a little worn. In general a very satisfying choice.- 03-Dec-2002 |
