Hotel Verhaegen – Ghent

Foto PhotoPhotoPhoto

From gilt mirrors to Roberts radios, everything fits within this grandly classical 1770s home. The owners are gently-spoken interior designers who have created a sumptuous blend of historical renovation and well-placed modernism along with certain 60s-retro touches to avoid any sense that you are in a ‘dead’ museum. The truly dazzling salon and 18th century dining room include original wall-paintings of Flemish-fantasy harbour scenes. Out the back, a neatly manicured parterre garden and fountain-pond leads to a photogenic 17th-century carriage house. The ‘Balcon,y Room’ is the most appealing of the four guest rooms and can be combined with a neighbouring sitting room to form a suite. Its unique, personally designed furniture includes a washstand in parchment leather with nickel basins. The truly vas bathtub has a stone surround and the toilet door is humorously disguised. ‘Paola’s room’ knocks you for six with it vivid pink walls, stripy carpet and a bathroom that feels much bigger than it is, thanks to the infinity effect walls of mirrors.
