Stay at the Hotel De Orangerie. They offer fantastic discounts early in season (February) and it is a hotel that is truly special.
The photos of all who have stayed here are a fun touch and the service is wonderful. The breakfast is not to be missed - one of the highlights of the trip and a truly indulgent way to start the day (champagne, fantastic buffet and beautifully prepared hot food on request).
The location could not be better with terrace overlooking the canal. After a day exploring Bruges, you can return to the lounge and have drinks by the fire (honesty bar in operation). It feels like a home away from home - if your home was grand and posh!!
