5-star superior hotel in a 15th-century former ducal palace, 150 meters from Market Square

Location & Setting

The hotel occupies a restored 15th-century ducal palace, 150 meters from Market Square and the Belfry of Bruges. A UNESCO World Heritage-listed Beguinage is a 10-minute walk away, and the Groeninge Museum is 650 meters from the property. The 3000 m2 landscaped garden offers a quiet retreat in the city center, with outdoor furniture and a sun terrace available.

Rooms & Suites

Rooms in the main palace feature high ceilings, original architectural details, and marble bathrooms. All accommodations include air conditioning, a minibar, and a work desk; some rooms offer views of the garden or city rooftops. The hotel provides family suites, duplex triple rooms, and heritage suites, with turn-down service and Belgian chocolates delivered each evening.

Dining

Dukes' Restaurant serves refined Belgian cuisine using seasonal ingredients, with a menu that changes regularly. Bar Julien offers drinks and tapas in a casual lounge setting, and during summer afternoon tea is served on the terrace overlooking the garden. Breakfast offers a buffet with varied options, including sparkling wine, fresh juices, and made-to-order poached eggs.

Wellness & Facilities

The on-site spa includes a sauna, massage treatments, and a fitness center with cardio and weight equipment. Guests can book spa treatments not commonly found in competing hotels, though spa access is available on limited days and at an additional charge. The hotel also provides a business center, meeting/banquet facilities, and a 24-hour front desk with concierge and currency exchange services.

Family-Friendly Services

Babysitting and child care services are available upon request, and family rooms and family suites offer extra space. The garden provides a safe outdoor area for children to play, and the multilingual staff can assist with activity planning. Private underground parking with electric vehicle charging stations and valet parking simplifies arrival for families traveling by car.
