Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce

Top choice in Bruges


This luxurious little boutique hotel occupies a part-timbered medieval house that’s been tastefully updated and graced with art, antiques, Persian carpets and fresh orchids. A special delight is relaxing in the canal-side lounge while envious tourists cruise past on their barge tours.

Most of the 16 rooms are somewhat small but full of designer fittings, including top-quality Vispring beds, Ralph Lauren fabrics and (in some) Philippe Starck bathrooms.
