No imposing entrance or red carpet awaits you here. No clue on the outside that behind the cenuries-old frontage on Oude Houtlei is an ancient cloister : PoortAckere. An oasis of peace, hidden away from the bustle of the city. Once inside you find yourself in a former nunnery whose history goes back to 1278. The building that turned its back on the world for so many centuries now reveals its secrets to a few favoured guests. A harmonious combination of neogothic style and comfort : luxurious rooms whose modern appointments maintain a respect for tradition. You will spend the night in the 'maagdenvleugel', the 'breedhuis' or the 'huis avn de rector' and will enjoy a hearty breakfast in the chapter house. A feeling of peace and freedom comes over you in the more neogothic part of the hotel, the guest house.
