Monasterium PoortAckere

Oude Houtlei 56, 9000 Gent, Belgium

No imposing entrance or red carpet in this hotel. There is nothing to suggest that this modest facade of the Oude Houtlei once housed a modest monastery: PoortAckere. "An island lost in the whirlpool of a noisy city." A historic site located in the heart of the art city of Ghent. Monasterium PoortAckere in the lively city center of Ghent offers a unique location for parties. The last sisters left in 1998 and the neo-Gothic monastery was renovated into a hotel, group restaurant, seminar room and party location. They have managed to preserve the authenticity while still offering all modern amenities. The atmosphere, the courtyard, the chapter rooms and the church stun the guests. The former Sint-Autbertuskerk offers space for 150 people at a banquet or 200 guests for a walking dinner. Dinners, receptions or barbecues can also be organized for smaller groups. The menu offers a wide choice. A piece of seventh heaven on earth!
