About us
In a green oasis at a conveniently accessible location in Ghent, you’ll find our unique hospitality hub: a collaboration between Courtyard by Marriott, Holiday Inn Express, and Residence Inn by Marriott. These three hotels form a vibrant place where hospitality, comfort, and experience are central. The hub includes a state-of-the-art event center and the refined Arno Ristorante, a Tuscan fine-dining restaurant.
Courtyard by Marriott opens its doors in October 2025. The hotel features 174 stylish rooms and offers guests an inspiring blend of elegance and functionality. Thanks to the collaboration between the hotels, event center, and F&B outlets, we create a seamless experience for both business travelers and tourists. Your stay, your way — that’s our philosophy.

Our location is easily accessible, no matter where you’re coming from. The hotel is located at Akkerhage 2B, 9000 Ghent, right by exit 9 ( Gent) of the E17 highway. Coming by car?
