DK Eyewitness "Of the many hotels that line the Zand – a large open space in the west – this is probably the best. Rooms are comfortable, and the indoor swimming pool is a bonus."
Star Service "Situated 500 m southwest of the medieval city, a mere 10-minute walk from the station, this palatial building has been cleverly converted from an old 17th-century monastery." Full review

"Occupying a 17th-century monastery, the NH Brugge looks quaint from the outside, though dated interiors and modern add-ons detract from the picturesque first impression." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler "At the 93-room Kempinski, in a fifteenth-century castle in a cul-de-sac in the heart of town, the best rooms have fireplaces and original oil paintings." Full review
Star Service "In the center of this stunning medieval city, about 10 minutes' walk from The Markt, this is a stellar period establishment with blue-blooded provenance and a postcard aesthetic worth writing home about." Full review

Fodor's "In terms of sheer grandeur, nothing in Brugge can compete with this, the only five-star accommodation in Flanders." Full review

Travel + Leisure "The only five-star property in the city, Hotel Dukes' Palace oozes opulence with noble pomp and circumstance galore, but it’s not overly stuffy or fussy"
