Hotel Shamon  

A one-of-a-kind Art Nouveau boutique just outside Eeklo’s center, a short stroll from Estate Het Leen and the Town Hall. Set in Het Meetjesland, it’s about a 30-minute drive to Bruges and under 25 minutes to Ghent — ideal for quick city hops.

Housed in a protected P. Cauchie design, the hotel shows off stained glass, sgraffiti wall paintings and wooden floors. Ten individually decorated rooms feature flat-screen TVs, minibars or refrigerators, private baths with rainfall showerheads or tubs and cozy bathrobes; many rooms open toward a garden and terrace.

Relax in the garden and on the terrace or spread out at the picnic area and hotel library. Rent bicycles to explore the region, grab a drink at the bar or a cup at the on-site café, and rely on concierge services and an area shuttle (surcharge) to make getting around easy.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout the property, desks in rooms and phone access for working travelers, plus free self-parking and express check-in/check-out to keep schedules tight.

An on-site coffee shop/café and bar/lounge cover breakfasts and light bites; buffet breakfast is served weekdays 7:00–9:30 and weekends 8:30–10:30 for a fee (children under 2 eat free). Limited-hour room service is available, and nearby restaurants — including an Italian option — are within walking distance.
