What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
the bolthole is far more refined than it appeared on the silver screen. Imagine a curated collection of antiques, whimsical soft furnishings and beautifully preserved period features.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Perched right on the Rozenhoedkaai waterfront, the hotel sits a short walk from the Markt and the historic Belfry.
The rooms
Individually styled bedrooms feature handmade Vispring mattresses, classic marble bathrooms, Persian rugs, and double-glazed casement windows overlooking the waterways.
At the table
Breakfast is laid out beneath crystal chandeliers by the water, and tables spill onto the canalside terrace.
How it began
The pair of sixteenth-century gabled facades gained cult fame on the silver screen as the central hideout in the film In Bruges.
