In a city brimming with history at every corner, the NH Collection Gent, formerly known as NH Gent Belfort, balances Ghent’s past with a healthy dose of refined Belgian modernity. Firmly in Ghent’s city center, the hotel stands next to the Belfry, a bell tower dating to the 14th century, and an enduring symbol of Ghent’s independence. Within a few city blocks, other city sites are a short walk away including Stadhuis (the Town Hall), Gravensteen, a castle from the Middle Ages, Korenmarkt and Graslei Harbor. The hotel is also located in close proximity to performing arts venues, Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, the Baroque Saint Nicholas Church and Huis van Alijn. For outings further afield, travelers can take the Ghent tramway network from the nearby Gent Korenmarkt station. The hotel intertwines classic and contemporary décor in 174 welcoming rooms. Offerings include standard, standard new-style, superior and Suite rooms with views. Waffles and pancakes are the highlight of the hotel’s bountiful breakfast buffet. Take in lunch or dinner at the Van Artevelde restaurant and dine on international specialties. Enjoy a diverse selection of Belgian beers and cocktails at the lobby bar. Guests can also book one of 10 rooms for meetings, events or wedding receptions for up to 400 attendees.

This hotel always make me fell comportable and high quality.
Good place and clean good breakfast good.
2 de maal in dit hotel . Alles is gewoon perfect ! En wat ons telkens weer opvalt is de rust en de stilte ,zelfs een volle ontbijtzaal is nog altijd stil ! Echt zalig die rust in dit prachtige hotel .
Perfectly comfortable bed, we had a perfect night in this high-standard and very charming hotel. The ceiling is really high, and gives the room some really pleasant space.
The spa is also very pleasant, quiet and relaxing.
Highly recommended!
KKate ThomBeautiful hotel with perfect view of a cathedral from our twin room. Hotel is in a historic building with lovely architectural features by the canal and the room we were in was a cleverly designed ”duplex” with the bathroom and sinks on the upper floor (ie loft) which made full use of the almost double volume ceiling in the smallish twin room we were in. The only drawback was that the steps were narrow and steep and would pose a problem if one had mobility issues. The toilet was located by the door next to the entrance but there was no sink for handwashing. Alcohol gel in a pump bottle was provided.
There is a café, lifestyle / clothes shop and supermarket in the same building. Very convenient and the hotel's location was walkable to all the sights in Ghent central.
The front desk staff were very polite and gracious and allowed us to store our luggage when we arrived before 11am, since check-in was strictly at 4pm. We were happy to find that our suitcases had been already delivered to our room when we returned to the hotel at 4pm.
There are 2 bars in the hotel - one which is open to the public which was buzzing in the evenings and a guest-only ”Honesty Bar” (1st photo) in which hotel guests could purportedly help themselves to liquor and pen down what they had imbibed - but I never saw anyone in it ! This could be due to a lack of ice or mixers. Or glasses. 🍸
CCowquite far from the train station but close to attractions.
a rather old hotel. the door locks are the round shaped ones. the hot water supply of the shower was not quite steady. the room is quite small for europe i think.
the plus side is they gave us the room well before the official check in time. we arrived at around 10:30 and they gave us the room right away. there is a free breakfast buffet as well (even my room choice is the most basic one).
