Frommer's Review

This small hotel on the beautiful city-center Groenerei canal has rightly been called one of the most romantic in Europe, thanks in great part to the care lavished on it by the Hessels family. It looks out across the canal to the rear of the Landhuis van het Brugse Vrije palace on the Burg. The comfortable rooms are elegantly and individually furnished, and the lounge, from 1779, was formerly the Guild Hall of the Tailors. You might also lodge in an annex. The in-house restaurant, where the specialties are seafood and regional cuisine, has won favorable reviews from guests and critics alike.

Facilities:
Restaurant (seafood/Flemish); lounge; bar; heated indoor pool; exercise room; sauna; concierge; secretarial services; limited room service; babysitting; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
