This medieval community features whitewashed houses with red-tiled roofs surrounding a peaceful central garden where ancient trees shade weathered benches.

While dining options are minimal within the beguinage itself, Ghent's center is just a 15-minute walk away. The neighborhood prioritizes its tranquil, non-commercial atmosphere over tourist amenities.

Ghent Marriott Hotel

Ghent Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I do like this hotel, despite the hiccup(s) we had at the onset of check-in. I would like to send a thank you to Ilayda, who eventually got us checked into our room. She went well above and beyond and it did not go unnoticed. She not only corrected the issues but also made up for the mishaps, immediately. Ilayda wanted to assure us that our stay at Ghent Marriott Hotel, would be as great as we expected it…and because of her, it finally was. Our room was nice and spacious. Staff is nice and friendly. Breakfast was good, I just wished they served waffles as part of the buffet breakfast. We sat at the bar 2 nights in a row, and had drinks…the lobby/bar area is beautiful. Victoria, did check on us after we checked out of our room, as we sat in the lobby waiting for our ride to the train station. She did seem very genuine, in asking about our stay…which I appreciate. However, Ilayda saved the day and our stay. "
