Central Historic Location

Hotel Botaniek is on the border of Bruges' historic center. The Markt (central square), Church of Our Lady, Groeninge Museum, Basilica of the Holy Blood, and Choco-Story Museum are all under a 10-minute walk. The property is a renovated 18th-century mansion with a salmon-colored facade.

Transportation & Safety Features

Ostend-Bruges International Airport is 35 km away (35-minute drive or over an hour by public transit). Antwerp International Airport is the nearest airport. The property has a fire extinguisher, smoke detector, security system, and first aid kit.

“This renovated 18th-century mansion places you steps from Bruges' main square, yet it maintains a remarkably peaceful atmosphere. The owners clearly prioritize personal touches, from the home-baked goods at breakfast to their engaging, multilingual service. In my opinion, this is a particularly good choice for couples or anyone seeking a characterful and quiet stay in the heart of the city.”
