Belfort Hotel Ghent
Belfort Hotel Ghent is a comfortable four-star hotel with an exceptional location right opposite the Belfry of Ghent and only a few steps from the City Hall and Saint Nicholas' Church. The hotel offers spacious rooms, its own restaurant with a bar and views of the historic row of towers. The combination of a central location and full hotel amenities makes it a popular choice for both city-trippers and business travellers.
In terms of accessibility, the Belfort Hotel offers several adapted rooms reachable via wide lifts. These rooms feature a roll-in shower, grab bars at the toilet and shower, lowered light switches and sufficient turning space. The main entrance is step-free with an automatic sliding door, and the lobby, bar and breakfast area are all accessible on a single level. The staff are trained to assist guests with disabilities during check-in and throughout their stay.
The hotel sits in the low-traffic historic core of Ghent. The surrounding streets are mostly paved, although the Hoogpoort area has patches of cobbles. Adapted parking spaces are available in the underground Parking Kouter, which is connected to the centre via a lift. Nearby Gent-Sint-Pieters station is served directly by tram 1, with a stop five minutes' walk away.
Good to know
- Reservation

- Busy and quiet times
- City-trip weekends (Friday-Sunday) and festivals (Ghent Festivities in July, Light Festival) are the most expensive times; weekday bookings give better rates and more attention.
- Things to note
- Adapted rooms with roll-in shower, grab bars and lowered light switches; wide lifts, step-free lobby and breakfast area. The surrounding Hoogpoort has patches of cobbles.
- Visit tip
