Discover picture-perfect Bruges from a charming boutique base in the heart of the city - includes breakfast and wine
  • Boutique base: Tucked away amidst Bruges’ postcard-perfect network of cobblestones and canals sits Dukes’ Academie Bruges, a boutique hotel with all the charm you’d expect from its quaint location. Fully renovated in February 2023 and featuring modern rooms and a suite of homely amenities, this lovely hotel oozes city break chic.

  • Bountiful breakfasts: Set under exposed brick archways, the cosy buffet breakfast restaurant provides a tranquil spot to start your day. Fill up on hot and cold treats such as meats and cheese, pastries, eggs and bacon along with coffee, tea and orange juice before exploring your surroundings.

  • Sightseeing made easy: With Bruges’ patchwork of photo-worthy sights within touching distance, you’re perfectly placed to explore here. Float along the romantic Minnewater Lake or take a stroll along Lovers Bridge before pausing to admire the Medieval architecture on display at every twist and turn - from City Hall to the Belfry of Bruges.

Wijngaardstraat 7/9, 8000 Brugge, Belgium

Famed for its canals, cobblestones and cafe culture, Bruges is as pretty as a picture so be sure to have your camera ready to capture some of its elusive charm for yourself. You’ll find a multitude of must-see sights all within walking distance, from the topsy turvy buildings in the Markt to the collection of masterful Renaissance artwork at Groeningemuseum and the tranquil waters of the romantic Lake of Love.

Spend culture-filled days admiring the ornate Medieval architecture on display at every corner, from City Hall and The Belfry Tower to Basilica of the Holy Blood. For something a little more unique, discover more about the city’s famous lace-making heritage at the Lace Centre or hop on a boat and cruise along the canals to see the city from a different vantage point.
