“1898 The Post's Ghent landmark”
1898 The Post & Porter's house is a chic unique UNESCO-core landmark on Ghent's scenic river — palace-luxe baroque interiors with genuine antiques and stories in every corner, a rare tower room reached by a worthwhile stair climb, a pretty-good breakfast served in a great-view dining room, a great evening bar, a walk-everywhere position on the big square, and kind professional staff. One caveat though: a guest wished for a small downstairs sink.
