What a fabulous town with an interesting history. This town was spared by Germany in WWII because a general close to Hitler begged to save it. Bruges was one of the wealthiest towns in Europe, if not the wealthiest. It's beautiful, charming and has the best food we've ever tasted!
We stayed at the Hotel Tuilereen which was super clean and charming. Doors open by keys!! not key cards. The pool is indoors and great for a dip. There is an outside veranda with chairs and umbrellas. A great place to have a drink at the end of the day. We booked thru Orbitz and had a bit of a snag due to their computer error. The hotel contacted Orbitz and we were shown to a room that exceeded our expectations. Clean, huge and very comfortable. Front desk personnel are great. Location is perfect, right across the street from a canal and 1 block to the boat dock.
Don't miss the chocolate factory, yum. Also the tons of chocolate shops in town. If they don't make the chocolate right in the shop, skip it! There's too much competition for the really really fresh chocolate. Tea rooms are charming. Restaurant right next door to Hotel Tuilereen is outstanding. Dinner is served in their outdoor garden, under umbrellas with fresh herbs growing nearby. At one point, the chef came and cut some herbs for a meal!
The Bruges Museum is great, small but extremely interesting. There are 2 huge churches in town, both worth the climb.

A beautiful small and personal hotel on the banks of a pretty canal right near the centre of Bruges. The hotel has a nice welcoming atmosphere and an air of luxury. The staff are on the whole very helpful and looked after us well.
A few niggles about the room. There are no tea and coffee making facilities in the room. But my biggest gripe was that having booked a double room and paying high prices at a deluxe hotel, I do not expect this to be 2 single beds pushed together. This was a shame, as otherwise the room and bathroom were lovely and spaceous.
Loved the little bar, although would have preferred it to be non smoking.
Pool and sauna etc. were really nice and often felt private as there was rarely anyone in there.
Breakfast was expensive, but worth every euro, especially as it went on until 12:00 at weekends, and meant no need for lunch. Choice was amazing and all felt really decadent.
Overall a great hotel and would stay again, but would ask for a room with a proper double bed.
PS: a film is being shot in Bruges at the moment and the star is staying at the hotel. Hollywood A lister!

This is a really lovely hotel in a great location with extremely nice friendly staff. Our room was really lovely and I would love to go back. The town of Brugge is also spectacular and well worth a visit. Altogether a great weekend!

I chose this hotel for a weekend away to propose to my future wife. The hotel is simply wonderful, located next to a canal and 5 minutes walk to the Old Square

Beautifully decorated, with charming staff, we knew on arrival that we were in for a wonderful stay.

Our room which was a suite was excellent, large and with an immaculately clean bathroom full of toiletries. The hotel has excellent facilities with a comfortable swimming pool/spa and a very snug bar.

Breakfast is expensive but well worth the money as a treat if you tuck in to the champagne.

So good a stay that we returned for the final night of our honeymoon. We didn't stay in a suite this time bit the experience was just as good. Thoroughly recommended.
