1898 Porter’s House opened 1st September 2026 – a magnificent waterfront heritage retreat in the historic heart of Ghent. Described by the Financial Times in September 2026 as a ‘micro-hotel’ the place is designed to feel like a gracious heritage townhouse with stylish but luxurious accommodation in the heart of the city.
Rooms or suites can be booked individually, or for a more private stay, the entire property – sleeping up to 10 guests – can be reserved exclusively. Additional offerings include bespoke butler service, VIP concierge arrangements and private chef experiences upon request.
Two of the suites feature sweeping softly lit terraces – perfect for sunset drinks. Indulge in outdoor contrast therapy with deep copper bathtubs, infra-red sauna, ice showers and views over the heart of Ghent’s vibrant medieval port – the perfect wellness retreat.
Authentic PR launched Porter’s House to media with an exclusive ‘key notes’ article secured in the Financial Times, as well as coverage in Conde Nast Traveller, Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Independent and The Week magazine among others.
