Between canals and the main square, the mid-range Hotel Patritius is a charming bed-and-breakfast in a beautifully restored historic mansion. Period-style common areas get more modern in the 16 stylish rooms, which have minibars and air-conditioning. However, there's a fee for kettles in entry-level rooms. There's no full restaurant here, but a continental breakfast buffet and afternoon tea are both available for a fee, and they can be taken in the peaceful garden.

Couples looking for a more romantic and luxurious stay may prefer the Pand Hotel Small Luxury Hotel, though rates are higher.

The Hotel de Orangerie is an upscale boutique hotel housed in a former convent just two blocks south of Bruges's main central square. Interiors could hardly be more lavish and, while the ornate wood furnishings and patterned wallpaper may be too chintzy for some, the aesthetic is particularly impressive in the hotel's grand lounge.

Hotels this sumptuous and well-located rarely come cheap, and this is no exception, but you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere quite so plushly fabulous.
