Magical hotel experience

A very magical stay at this fantastic hotel. The small touches at check-in were very well-received by us. The 'Letter' room was very nicely furnished. The cocktail bar is one of the best we had experienced. The location is excellent for exploring Ghent. I would certainly stay here again if i return to Ghent
