Which room to book: Splurge on one of the 22 suites with a decorative..."
Jetsetter "Former residence of Burgundian aristocracy in the heart of medieval Bruges with a spectacular garden, terraces, and beautiful lounges." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Deserving of its 5 stars, this former ducal palace is up to the usual Kempiski decorative standard, but the spa pool, art gallery and chapel make it something extra special."
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

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
The Telegraph7.0
"A convenient hotel with something of a tired charm just far enough from the hustle and bustle of Bruges' teeming centre." Full review
