Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof

Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof occupies an 18th-century mansion at Hoogstraat 36 in the old centre of Ghent, in the Flanders region of Belgium. The address lies close to the Patershol district and a short walk from the Graslei and Korenlei quays, St Bavo's Cathedral, the Gravensteen castle and the Belfry, so the main medieval sights are comfortably walkable. Ghent-Sint-Pieters railway station is a tram ride away, with frequent services to Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp. The building is the key to its character: a grand townhouse with period features, which the hotel combines with a boutique sensibility, individually styled rooms and a refined, residential atmosphere. Rooms vary by category, from comfortable doubles to larger rooms and suites, and wifi is available throughout. A restaurant and a bar are listed among the facilities, and breakfast is usually served in the mansion's elegant public rooms. Ghent has a strong food scene, from traditional Flemish dishes to contemporary restaurants in Patershol and around the Vrijdagmarkt, all within a short walk. The hotel does not advertise a large spa or pool, so its appeal is the historic setting, its small scale and its location. Service is concierge-style and tailored to couples, leisure travellers and visitors marking a special occasion, with staff able to arrange restaurant reservations, boat trips on the canals and tickets for local attractions. Rates in the luxury category typically run from about €160 to €330 per night, rising during the Gentse Feesten in July and at weekends. Because the building is historic and the surrounding streets are cobbled, luggage handling and parking should be arranged in advance with the hotel.
