Situated in Ghent’s Marriott Hotel, this upscale steakhouse draws inspiration from 1930s Midtown Manhattan.

Channelling Art Deco style and a speakeasy vibe, the 98-cover Midtown Grill is a contemporary take on old-world glamour.

Deep green walls set the tone, complemented by rust-red upholstery and swathes of warm wood. Guests are greeted in an intimate bar area, where a large illuminated refrigerator showcases an impressive selection of prime meat cuts, giving the diner a hint of what’s to come.

At the heart of our portfolio is the Ghent Marriott, a true beacon of hospitality in the historic city centre. Located along the scenic Leie River, within the medieval harbour, the Ghent Marriott boasts 150 luxurious bedrooms, 9 versatile meeting and event spaces, a renowned restaurant, and a beautiful terrace overlooking the canal.
