About us

NH Collection Gent warmly welcomes guests to experience an unforgettable modern stay, where the charm, beauty and history of the city blend perfectly. Following an elaborate renovation, NH Collection Gent, which has evolved from NH Gent Belfort, presents refined and elegant rooms restyled to provide modern and tasteful spaces for our guests and exceptional panoramas of the renowned Belfry Tower. The architectural essence of the hotel is reflected in the building façade showcasing the “Filips van Artevelde” corner structure, an eclectic architectural marvel. NH Collection Gent pays tribute to its historical lineage by weaving a narrative of romance, inspired by the literary work “Jacob Van Artevelde” by Hendrik Conscience. The tragic love saga of Veerle Van Artevelde and Lieven Denys, set amidst the strife of the Hundred Years War, lends an air of theatricality to the hotel’s atmosphere. The 13th-century “Denys Medieval Crypt,” embedded within the hotel’s foundations, unfolds the chronicles of the city’s affluent trading history, and currently serves as a charming events venue, rich with stories, suggesting the idea of a hidden wedding chamber. The hotel’s conference spaces, named after the textile gilds, mirror the city’s profound textile legacy and offer guests an immersion on the city’s historical soul. NH Collection Gent offers a range of 10 versatile meetings and events rooms capable of hosting up to 400 guests and a dedicated service team to tailor them to your needs. Facilities include a 200-seat purpose-built buffet restaurant conveniently located adjacent to the conference rooms, perfect for hosting large gatherings and dining events. Additionally, discover the enchanting Denys Medieval Crypt, a unique 100-seat space named after one of the renowned families in the textile industry of the 13th century reflecting the city’s profound textile legacy. A magical setting for more intimate functions and receptions. In homage to Ghent's esteemed textile heritage, our hotel presents 174 spacious and modern rooms that artfully embody the essence of the city's legacy. Adorned with dynamic fabric artistry and imbued with warm hues, each space harmoniously fuses contemporary elegance with the allure of history. All rooms offer an array of facilities, including high-definition flat-screen TVs, premium coffee machines, well-appointed minibars, and secure safes. Connectivity is effortless, with complimentary high-speed WiFi available throughout. The Junior Suites represent a signature element of our establishment, each named in honor of the relatives of the Van Artevelde and Denys families -figures of notable historical importance within Ghent's textile saga. Guests are afforded the opportunity to revel in the expansive views of the historic urban landscape, with accommodations thoughtfully dispersed over four levels. The indulgence of rain showers and the provision of meticulously considered amenities assure a serene and restorative slumber, epitomizing the pinnacle of comfort.
