Best Five Star Hotels in Bruges

Bruges is a compact charmer.  It’s one of Europe’s best preserved pre-motorised cities, and dotted with impressive medieval architecture.  Bruges also famously has a lot of chocolate shops.  And fine dining restaurants.  And luxury hotels.  Many of the most famous and lauded places to stay in Bruges are in the Old Town, the bit looped within the main canal, around the famous Markt - medieval market square.  As well as elegant boutique townhouse conversions, and glamorous canal-view hotels, the Old Town is also know for its churches, museums, and impressive array of places to eat and drink.  South Burges is on the southern side of the major landmarks, a quieter collection of streets and canals, and is a good neighbourhood in which to look for luxurious, but bijou hotels.  Burges is a year-round destination, and it’s floodlit by night, so it feels as if there’s always time for another drink, or chocolate, or a bit more of a stroll before heading back to enjoy your five star luxury.
