What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 78 rooms are clean-lined and modest, with dark wood and amber lighting keeping things from feeling corporate.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The central Grote Markt is a short drive away, while Ghent and Antwerp are each thirty minutes by car.
The rooms
Practical living quarters feature rich timber paneling, with upper-floor and modern annex quarters offering streamlined, quiet stays.
The gym
Technogym treadmills and bikes fill the mirrored fitness room, and reception supplies mapped running routes around Sint-Niklaas.
Restaurant
Brasserie Renardeau
White-clothed tables look out through garden windows, and the terrace serves regional dishes beside the reflective lily pond.
How it began
Joseph Serwir opened the doors in 1966, and another Flemish family, the Vermeersch brothers, directs operations today.
