DECEMBER 2019 – Pillows Grand Hotel Reylof, Ghent, has been awarded winner of Best Hotel Design
at the VENUEZ Hospitality Awards 2019. This accolade further cements the hotel’s position as one of
Europe’s top design hotels.
Dating back to 1724, the building of Pillows Grand Reylof Hotel was the former baronial residence of
poet Baron Olivier de Reylof and sits just outside the boundaries of the medieval city walls of Ghent. The
hotel’s award-winning design perfectly combines historic architecture with modern Scandinavian style.
Each of the 157 state-of-the-art rooms and suites are sympathetically decorated to ensure that every hotel
guest has a welcoming retreat away from the buzz of the city. The neutral tones and grey hues of the
hotel’s colour pallet, combined with a neoclassical mix of marble floors, ionic columns and a sweeping
staircase creates a unique set of spaces that take guests on a journey; from relaxaing in front of a roaring
fire surrounded by wood clad walls, to the sleek marble of the bar and the homely parquet wood flooring
of the restaurant.
The VENUEZ Hospitality Awards focus on innovation, style, good entrepreneurship, growth potential,
price-quality and, above all, excellent service. With thirteen coveted awards, from Best Restaurant Design
to Best Coffee Inspired Concept, the VENUEZ Hospitality Awards are highly regarded throughout
Belgium.
Pillows Grand Hotel Reylof are proud to be considered as one of the most beautiful hotels in all of
Belgium. Hotel Manager, Anna Rollema, comments “our luxurious hotel is somewhere guests can find
the comfort and warmth that is found in their own homes; whoever they are and wherever they come
from. We have a stunning property to work with, but it is our team that make our hotel truly exceptional.
From our housekeeping team to our chefs, from reservations staff to front office hosts, every member of
the Pillows team strives for excellence, day and night.”
“A hotel with a luxurious ambiance, finished to the highest standards with fine materials, and with LOF
Restaurant sitting beautifully at its heart. The staircase is an obvious eye- – catcher and the courtyard is
remarkable” – VENUEZ Hospitality Awards 2019
