Reading confirmed earlier this week they had agreed an undisclosed fee for the transfer of 28-year-old Republic of Ireland winger Hunt, who has signed a four-year deal with the Tigers.
Celta Vigo striker Ghilas, a 25-year-old Algeria international and former Blackburn target, has also signed a four-year deal with the Barclays Premier League side.
Tigers' boss Phil Brown said: "These are two more additions and they will add strength and depth to the squad. Stephen is well known in the English leagues and we are hopeful he will add strength to the midfield with regard to scoring goals and providing goals.
"Kamel is a product of our scouting network. We've worked long and hard scanning Italy, Spain, Germany and a few other places. A lot of people may not know Kamel now but that will change over the course of the season."
The pair take Hull's number of summer signings to four following the captures of Seyi Olofinjana and Jozy Altidore last week.
Manager Phil Brown had previously endured a frustrating close season in the transfer market with moves for players including Michael Owen, Fraizer Campbell, Marc-Antoine Fortune, Daryl Murphy and Habib Beye falling through.
The Tigers start their Premier League campaign on Saturday at Chelsea.
