Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce

The Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce occupies one of the most photographed houses in Bruges: the half-timbered façade leaning over the water where two canals meet, next to the Rozenhoedkaai and three minutes from the Markt. It has just sixteen rooms, each decorated in its own way, with antique furniture and works inspired by painters such as Botero, Chagall and Klimt.

Which room to ask for

The ones facing the canal head-on are the ones that make the trip: they are called "Canal view" and "Superior canal view". The rest overlook the front courtyard or are small with a bathtub, quieter and cheaper. All have air conditioning, Vispring beds, wifi, and coffee and tea brought up to the room free of charge. Breakfast is served in a lounge overlooking the canal, among Persian rugs and tapestries.

Getting there and parking

It is on Wollestraat, inside the pedestrianised centre. If you come by car, the hotel has a locked garage 150 metres away, at €30 a night, with a charging point; it must be booked in advance. Reception is open day and night and stores luggage.

Before booking

With the flexible rate, you can cancel or change free of charge up to seven days before, always by email; within that week the full stay is charged. The non-refundable rate is charged on booking and cannot be changed.
