The hotel has its own restaurant, Dali, with a bar and lounge, so you can eat on site without going far. For a taste of Ghent, join a walking food tour that introduces you to local food, or try the Waffles 'n Beer Workshop in the city centre. A chocolate walking tour with tastings is another tasty way to explore. These tours start in central Ghent, which is a short walk from the hotel, so you can easily combine eating with sightseeing.
The hotel sits on Kasteellaan, a quiet street in Ghent's city center, with the main sights all within a short walk.

The area is residential and calm, yet the lively center with its canals and squares is just steps away. The hotel's own restaurant and bar are on site, and the nearby streets offer plenty of cafés and eateries. It is a pleasant, walkable base for seeing the city.
