What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
You’d be hard-pressed to find a boutique hotel with more Flemish flair than Quay 17… it’s right on a quiet canal near Bruges’ historic heart.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Sint-Annarei canal stays quiet throughout the day, and the Markt is ten minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Canal-facing rooms look down onto passing boats, and the two suites have freestanding soaking tubs.
The spa
At the table
Breakfast brings regional cheeses and warm dishes under timber beams, and the brown café keeps an honesty bar.
How it began
The 1675 building housed Brewery Den Hert for decades before serving as a mid-century textile mill.
