Hotel Heritage, Bruges

Hotel Heritage Reviews...

"Beautiful hotel"
We stayed at the Heritage during the summer for a few evenings and we were very happy with our choice. With its massively enthusiastic owner, the service couldn't be better, it was over and above what we expected. The rooms and the public area had a classical charm, without looking contrived and naff in any way, it really did have the personal touch of its owners, which is rare in hotels these days - from the point of view of a travelling salesman, that is. Mike. Bedford

"Great place for a great city"
The Heritage was recommeded to us by friends who had stayed there last year on an anniversary trip, which had been a hugely successful experience for them. I have to say that I agreed with everything they told me, so I too would recommend the Heritage. Colin Blain. Solihull.

"Wonderful"
With 20 rooms and four suites it’s “boutique”, but has none of the pretensions frequently accompanying such establishments. The secret is more than its extreme elegance, attention to detail, charming history and quiet but central location. At the heart of its immense appeal are the owners, Johan and Isabelle Creytens. Not only are they personable, they are hands-on. One of them is very likely to check you in, while the other valet parks your car. 

A hotel for 15 years, the building which was largely built in 1869 - and has been various grand homes and businesses - dates back to 1390. Remains of its earliest days are vividly on display in the tiny basement gym. There’s something inspiring about sweating away on a treadmill alongside a 600 year-old arched column. 

The top of the hotel is just as breathtaking. With exquisite care the attic has been converted into the suites. Magnificent beams are a feature, dividing the sleeping and sitting space. But the design-highlight are the giant skylights. Apart from flooding the suites with sparkling light, they offer scintillating views over, above and around the towering brick spires, red-pantile roofs and wonky chimneys of ancient Bruges. Stick your head out and a distinct Mary Poppins feel takes over! Maggie Hall, Travel Writer. Read the rest of this article...
