1898 The Post

Housed on the upper floors of Ghent’s old post office building, this intimate hotel boasts 37 luxurious rooms. The rooms have been designed to highlight the building’s dramatic 19th-century architecture, with dark green walls, antique furniture, high ceilings and restored wood elements. The elegant and inviting rooms have been named to fit the theme of the old post office, and offer arresting views of the city.

Tuck into breakfasts and light meals at The Kitchen, or simply take your time over a cup of coffee and a homebaked pastry in front of the open fireplace. Then end the day with a cocktail at The Cobbler, while gazing out at the spires of the historic part of Ghent. The bar also offers a tapas menu.
