Fodor's Expert Review Pillows Grand Hotel Reylof

Hoogstraat 36, Ghent, Flanders, 9000, Belgium

This converted 18th-century town house hotel is one of the more distinguished addresses in town, with a luxurious spa that occupies the former stables and the pervading sense that you've just stepped onto a particularly meticulous film set. Neutral greys and Scandinavian browns have replaced the old camp majesty of what used to be one of Ghent's most flamboyant hotels, but it's no less impressive. The addition of the excellent LOF restaurant is also a definite bonus. And while the rooms are a tad toned down these days, the addition of a free minibar that you're actively encouraged to rifle through and empty means you probably won't notice.

PROS

  • excellent spa with hammam, pool, and sauna
  • staff are pitch-perfect
  • surprisingly good value and a free minibar

CONS

  • more than a 10-minute walk to the center (in Ghent, that's a lot)
  • it's lost its over-the-top charm
  • there's little in the way of a budget option
