1898 The Post

Boutique City Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.6
 

1898 The Post, an intimate four-star boutique hotel in the heart of Ghent, transforms the upper floors of the city's historic post office into a stylish retreat, offering discerning travellers a blend of late 19th-century grandeur and contemporary warmth since its opening in 2017.

Housed in an iconic building, this elegant property features 38 rooms and suites, each adorned with high ceilings or sloped roofs, dark green walls, and antique furniture that honor the structure's heritage. King-size beds, plush linens, and modern amenities like Nespresso machines create a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance, while grand windows frame some of Ghent's most breathtaking city views. The earthy tones and restored wood accents evoke a sense of local character, blending seamlessly with a fresh, modern touch.

Dining at The Kitchen is a warm, inviting experience, where guests can linger over an American buffet breakfast of fresh pastries, seasonal fruits, and hearty specialties. This shared space, with its open fireplace overlooking Ghent's spires, also serves light, seasonal dishes for lunch and homemade pastries for afternoon tea, perfect for relaxed moments or quiet work. The Cobbler, the hotel's crowning cocktail bar, channels an old-world atmosphere with world-class bartenders crafting creative cocktails alongside fine tapas and delicacies, all enjoyed with stunning views of Ghent's historic skyline.

The hotel's 57-square-meter meeting room, designed for intimate boardroom-style gatherings of up to 10, offers a refined setting for events, with options for coffee breaks or light lunches. Guests can explore Ghent's charm with ease, aided by a dedicated concierge who curates bespoke experiences, from private tours of medieval landmarks to strolls along the city's picturesque canals, ensuring a deep connection to its vibrant heritage.

Nestled between the scenic Graslei and Kornmarkt, 1898 The Post places guests steps from Ghent's festive Christmas market during the holiday season. Major landmarks like the Gravensteen Castle and Saint Bavo's Cathedral are a short walk away, while Antwerp International Airport is 53 kilometers, anchoring this elegant haven in the heart of Ghent's cultural tapestry.
