Hotel de Tuilerieën occupies a sequence of historic houses beside Bruges’ Dijver canal, with the city’s medieval roofs and towers immediately beyond its windows. Rooms vary according to the architecture, combining high ceilings, antiques and patterned fabrics with contemporary bathrooms. The lounge and bar retain a more residential atmosphere, while the wellness area provides an indoor pool and sauna beneath the old building. The Groeningemuseum, Markt and Church of Our Lady are all reached on foot. At the entrance, stepped gables and waterside façades place the hotel firmly within Bruges’ intact historic centre.
