Redefining the way we stay in the city

In a world where city trips are fast, full, and exciting, travellers increasingly look for places that offer both energy and calm. That balance is exactly what inspired RAIBU, a new aparthotel concept by STAY-C.
After launching its first two locations in Ghent and Antwerp in 2025, RAIBU is already preparing to open two more properties next year, bringing its thoughtful, design-driven philosophy to even more urban explorers.

As a boutique escape wrapped inside the heartbeat of the city, RAIBU blends local living, digital ease, and hotel comfort, an approach that bridges the gap between traditional stays and  boutique hotels. 

A calm retreat in the middle of the city

RAIBU’s guiding principle is simple: offer a place where people can slow down, without stepping away from the city they came to experience.

Every RAIBU space is designed with serenity at its core. Soft materials, natural colours, balanced lighting, and quiet corners create a true retreat. Whether you’re enjoying a night in Antwerp, settling in for a longer stay in Ghent, or searching for comfortable places to stay longer, the experience is the same: a soothing pause from the city buzz.

This thoughtful design approach makes RAIBU a strong alternative for travellers who appreciate the aesthetics of design hotels but also value independence, privacy, and space.

Digital-first convenience

Check-in is smooth and fast. Guests can manage their stay without queues or paperwork, ideal for business travellers who usually search or visitors who prefer flexibility.

Each RAIBU studio comes with:

• A peaceful sleeping area

• A fully equiped kitchen

• A private bathroom with amenities

This makes RAIBU perfect for short city escapes, work trips, or extended stays.

Guests enjoy the consistency, comfort, and quality standards of a boutique hotel, without losing the freedom of an apartment.
