Thanks to the ancient pier, Ghent River Hotel is the only hotel that can be reached by boat.
The site encompasses 2 buildings: a renaissance house, dated 1518 and a rice-mill built on a burnt down sugar refinery, dated 1857. The building also served as a cotton spinning-mill (1873), a warehouse (1879) and a steam actuated bakery (1892). The latter expanded several times until 1909.
In front of the hotel you come across a small square which is served as thread (yarn) market in the Middle Ages and the 19th century. Next to the hotel we meet one of the typical medieval “waterstraatjes”. After a few minutes walk, you meet the ‘vrijdagsmarkt’ with the statue of Jacob van Artevelde.
