1898 The Post

Ghent Is Challenging Antwerp as Belgium’s Capital of Cool | Vogue

"Tucked into a corner of Ghent’s grand neo-Gothic former post office, this 38-key boutique hotel feels like a first-class revival that favors cozy charm over flashy fanfare. The atmosphere is intimate, with a small reception instead of a big lobby, and its mail-exchange past is present in every detail: rooms named after stamps, postcards, envelopes, letters, and carriages, plus antique writing desks, rotary phones, built-in bookcases, and framed sketches of the original post office. Even the second-floor honesty bar is styled to evoke a vintage postman’s office, adding to the nostalgic, quietly luxurious feel of the place." - Lindsay Cohn
