The Holiday Inn Gent Expo becomes voco Gent
After 35 years under the Holiday Inn brand, the hotel at Flanders Expo in Ghent is becoming voco Gent, an upscale brand from the IHG group. A new chapter for the hotel, which is hiring to support its move upmarket.
The biggest evolution in its history
For 35 years, the Holiday Inn Gent – Expo welcomed exhibitors, conference delegates and business travellers on the edge of Ghent. It now flies the colours of voco, the IHG Hotels & Resorts brand that combines contemporary luxury with warm, personal service. The hotel itself calls it “the biggest evolution in our hotel’s history” (voco Gent).
voco stands out for its distinctive character, relaxed style and thoughtful touches. In practice, the guest rooms have been refreshed and the communal spaces redesigned to make them more welcoming. The Luma restaurant and bar lounge embodies this new spirit.
What stays the same is the team: the same people continue to welcome guests, now in a setting and under a brand that take them to the next level.
At the heart of business Ghent
The hotel is located in Sint-Denijs-Westrem, a stone’s throw from Flanders Expo, Ghent’s leading exhibition and conference centre. This location makes it a go-to address for trade fairs, seminars and business travellers, while staying close to the historic centre.
It is also an easy place to get to for work: the P+R Flanders Expo stop is on the doorstep, the city centre is close by, and both Brussels Airport and Ostend-Bruges Airport are a 50-minute drive away. Charging stations for electric vehicles are available on site.
