Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof Ghent
Grand historic mansion meets polished contemporary boutique. Louis XIV bones, modern comfort. Think high ceilings, original artworks, plush carpeting, and a fireplace lounge — but with Nespresso machines, smart TVs, and Bluetooth speakers in every room.
Breakfast costs around €34/person and isn't included in base rates — the city center has excellent cafes if you'd rather save
Why It Matters
The 1724 townhouse setting alone is remarkable, but the hotel earns its stripes through execution: a Michelin Guide-listed fine dining restaurant (LOF) on-site, a spa housed in Baron Reylof's original carriage house, and a location that puts you in the middle of one of Belgium's most beautiful and walkable cities. It holds 1 Michelin Key as of 2025.
A 4-star boutique hotel spread across two buildings: a grand 1724 Louis XIV townhouse and its 20th-century neighbor, sitting right in Ghent's pedestrianized historic center. Modern design and antique grandeur coexist throughout 156 rooms and suites. The hotel holds 1 Michelin Key (2025) and is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World — serious credentials for a property that manages to feel genuinely warm rather than stiff.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Family Room
Spacious and bright, with a second bedroom on the first floor. The go-to choice for families traveling with children.
39 sqm
Junior Suite
Spacious suites described as having a historic character — likely in the older 1724 townhouse wing. A notable step up in atmosphere and room from the Luxury categories.
39 sqmLuxury Room
Light and elegant rooms where comfort and modern style go hand in hand. The smallest category in the hotel, but still equipped with all the Pillows signatures: duck down bedding, rain shower, Nespresso, Bluetooth audio, and Smart HD TV.
23 sqmLuxury Room – Balcony
Same as the Luxury Room but with a private balcony — a worthwhile upgrade for a bit of outdoor space in the city center.
23 sqmLuxury Room – Twin Bed
The only twin-bed option in the hotel. Same elegant styling and full Pillows amenity set, configured for two single beds. Slightly larger footprint than the standard Luxury Room.
Twin · 26 sqmLuxury Room Grand
The step-up room for guests who want more breathing room. Noticeably more generous than the base Luxury Room, with the same refined aesthetic.
32 sqmLuxury Room Grand – Balcony
The Luxury Room Grand with the added bonus of a private balcony. Best of both worlds for guests who want space and outdoor access.
32 sqmPillows Suite
Understated and elegant with a separate bedroom and comfortable seating area. The suite format gives you genuine separation between sleeping and living space — a real difference for longer stays.
41 sqmPresidential Suite
The hotel's crown jewel at 126m² on the top floor, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private dining room, a seating area with fireplace, and — the real draw — two private terraces with views over Ghent's historic center and the courtyard garden. A private elevator connects directly to the parking garage.
Two King · 126 sqm
Reylof Suite
The hotel's namesake suite and a substantial upgrade in space. At 50–66m², it's genuinely roomy, and comes with a second bedroom on the first floor — making it practical for families or those who just want to spread out.
