This was our third trip to Bruges but our first stay at the Kempinski. We arrived before check-in and were given a room immediately along with a warm welcome. The hotel is pristine and the rooms every bit five star. Unfortunately, our two night stay was hampered by heavy rain which seemed to dominate Europe during our travels. Thankfully, the... More

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the Kempinski Hotel in Bruges and we had an amazing experience. The hotel is beautiful and in a wonderful location, close to all the major sites but tucked away in a quiet location....an oasis of calm amidst a bustling tourist centre. Service is excellent and the hotel and rooms are beautiful. We... More

This was my first trip to Bruges and if I ever return I will certainly return to this lovely hotel. The room was spacious and the hotel and staff are perfect. The location is very good...close to the main square and a short walk to almost anywhere.

Pretty hotel with nice rooms. Well located with a beautiful garden. But they rip you off on thinhs like the internet. 25 Euros for 2 Mbps while the Prinsenhof next door gives you free internet at 25Mbps.

The hotel is situated very close to the Markt square however in a very quiet side-street. It is a renovated duke's palace with a very impressive front and very nice garden at the back. Our room was very nice, spacious and well-equiped. The staff was very helpful and attentive to any demand or request. Excellent fitness and swiming pool facility.... More

First of all, this is a stunningly beautiful hotel. From the moment I first set eyes on it, I fell in love with the place. Because the smaller garden room I had booked was not available, the receptionist upgraded me to a Junior Suite overlooking the grounds. The bedroom was spacious, exquisitely furnished and the prints of old masters on... More
