The Hotel d'Hane-Steenhuyse is an 18th-century hôtel particulier (grand townhouse) in the Belgian city of Ghent.
In 1815, King Louis XVIII, in exile from France, resided in and held court from the hotel.
Afterward he thanks his host with the gifts of a porcelain dessert service that is now kept in the Ghent City Museum ("STAM").
In 1981, the city of Ghent acquired the building, which it used first as an information center and later as the Monuments Management Service.
Under Jean-Baptiste the building was visited by various famous European figures: The building was constructed on the gradually acquired plots of older houses, with a goal of maximizing utilization of the available space, leading to the irregular shape and central protrusion of the facade.
They consist of salons and halls typical of the rich upper class society of the time.
The high ballroom "à l'italienne" is particularly richly decorated, with painted ceilings, mirrors, an honorary staircase, and a parquet floor signed by Henri Feylt.
They are older than the hotel itself, and were adapted from the vaulted cellars of the houses previously occupying the site.
The building is decorated with paintings by Petrus Norbertus van Reysschoot and Peter Paul Rubens, among others, as well as copies of works by Jan Brueghel the Elder.
