Hotel Gravensteen

The one hotel in the Ghent group that takes dogs, right by the castle

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
Hotel Gravensteen is an 1865 mansion on Jan Breydelstraat, directly opposite the castle and at the mouth of the Patershol lanes. There are 86 rooms behind the original stair hall, plus the Donjon lobby bar. It is one of three Ghent hotels under the same ownership, and it is the one the other two send dog owners to. It suits a traveller who wants the best-placed address in the old town and does not need five-star polish.

Why it's in the collection

You are fifty metres from the Gravensteen moat and the Patershol lanes, with the Lieve canal path and the Graslei quays both inside five minutes, and the whole area is inside Ghent's car-free zone.

Dogs are welcome in the hotel but not in the Donjon lobby bar.

The open question

Dogs are welcome in the hotel. The Donjon lobby bar, which is open to the public as well as to guests, does not take dogs. There is no hotel restaurant, so meals happen out in Patershol anyway.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
