Yalo provides a rock-‘n’-roll and light-filled oasis behind its serene façades along Brabantdam. The vintage décor, carefully chosen by the owners in collaboration with creative agency ‘King George’ – which also worked on branding, interior design and conceptual design – gives the hotel a cosy and incredibly stylish feel.
The big eye-catcher? The enormous glass roof, which bathes the entire building in natural light by day, giving way to the starry Ghent skies by night.
Yalo is for locals, day-trippers, foodies and hotel guests alike. Whether dining alone or with others, enjoy a delicious long meal sampling the delights concocted by culinary expert Sam D’Huyvetter. Whether for breakfast, lunch, an aperitif or dinner, the tables are always set!
Chef Jasper Maatman and his team are sure to stimulate all your senses with Yalo’s authentic, pure, seasonal and open-minded cuisine. Here, you will find classics with a twist, peppered with influences from across the globe.
And that also includes Ghent! At Yalo, we are passionate about working with all the goodness the region has to offer. Freshly baked bread topped with chocolate from chocolatier ‘Joost Arijs’, ‘Fourchette Beer’ from local brewery ‘Van Steenberge’, rum and vodka from the nearby ‘Dada Chapel Distillery’… the list goes on.
Yalo has everything you need to spend your overnight stay in total style and relaxation. The 92 – not so standard – hotel rooms are very much an extension of Yalo’s unique DNA. The result? Well, you’ll have to come and see for yourself.
For the sweet-toothed hipsters among us, enjoy cheesecake and frothy cappuccinos – made using locally-roasted coffee from the ‘Van De Kerckhove’ roastery – served in Yalo’s trendy green setting.
