Scene
An elegant, historical yet modern boutique
Built in 1390, the Hotel Heritage - Relais
& Chateaux is filled with original features and charm in addition to modern
accents. Traditional floral wallpaper, chandeliers, and plush, antique
armchairs decorate the lobby, restaurant, and bar, and every effort has been
made to restore rather than renovate. Rich, patterned drapes hang from all the
windows giving the hotel a cozy feel while the herringbone pattern wood floors
and detailed carpets add to the contemporary historical design. A
beautiful rooftop sun deck with table and chairs overlooks the historic surroundings. The
hotel takes advantage of its history and provides luxurious comfort and style
in every detail.
Location
In the center of Bruges, within walking distance to attractions, shops, and restaurants
On a quiet street in downtown
Bruges, away from the tourist traffic, is the Hotel Heritage - Relais &
Chateaux. The Bruges City Theater, Historium, Grote Markt, Basilica of the Holy
Blood, and Groeningemuseum are all under a 10-minute walk from the hotel as are
numerous shops, restaurants, and other attractions. Public transportation can
get you anywhere you want to go, including the Ostend-Bruges International
Airport, and renting a car is only necessary if you plan on traveling outside
the city center. Additionally, due to the slow and abundant traffic, it can be
hard and time-consuming to navigate out of Bruges in a car.
Rooms
Opulent and antique rooms with modern, posh comforts
Rooms at the Hotel Heritage - Relais &
Chateaux are exceptionally clean and include original beams (this may cause an issue
for head room depending on height) and attractive antique, soft furniture; even the beams are dust-free. Red velvets, blue fabric, modern floral wallpaper, luxurious
curtains, and chandeliers decorate the rooms making them elegant and
sophisticated. The detailed carpeting is beautiful and guests receive a fresh bowl of fruit and traditional cut glass
sweet jar upon arrival; suite guests also receive strawberries and a bottle of
champagne. Large, thin flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and minibars fill
every room in addition to a special feature: an iPad. Big bathrooms also add
high-end style with large gray tiles, rainfall showerheads in the
walk-in showers, and separate tubs. Gold frame mirrors accent black countertops
and brand amenities are included; robes and heated towel racks up the richness
as well. These are some of the nicest rooms in Bruges; many guests prefer these even to the ostensibly more luxurious rooms at Hotel Duke's Palace, which lack the attention to detail shown here.
Features
Attractive wellness center plus excellent on-site restaurant and bar
The fitness
center is located in a historic section of the building -- it has one small window and a few machines plus a water cooler
and bright lights. The wellness center stands out with a lovely sauna and
steam bath. Comfortable seating and lots of soft towels decorate the areas and
the tile and wood are beautiful. There is free Wi-Fi, a business center, and
24-hour room and concierge services in addition to on-site parking, but parking
has a daily fee. The on-site restaurant, Le Mystique, serves modern, local
cuisine in an elegant setting. It receives
excellent reviews as does the bar, Le Magnum, which offers coffee and afternoon
tea in addition to local beers and wines.
