Perfectly situated near Bruges' Market Square, the 24-room Hotel Heritage is within walking distance to the city's most desirable sites, including the theatre district, shopping district, gourmet restaurants, and popular tourist attractions, such as the Belfry Tower, the Church of Our Lady, the Basilica of the Holy Blood as well as all of the historic museums.

The intimate lounge also invites guests for pre-dinner drinks, coffee or afternoon tea, and the breathtaking sundeck is the ultimate place to enjoy the panoramic view of Bruges.

With over 600 years of history behind this location, the most recent information about the building is that it was a mansion in 1869. In 1992, the mansion was bought by Johan and Isabelle Creytens who turned it into a hotel in August of 1993. Mr. and Mrs. Creytens also manage the property with the assistance of their valued staff.

Among unique services provided at the Hotel Heritage, is a remodelled 14th century cellar that features a fitness centre, which includes a Turkish steam bath, solarium and sauna. The hotel also offers 24-hour room service, business centre, Wi-Fi internet access, currency exchange, valet parking, full concierge services and much more.

All rooms offer welcome amenities and evening refreshments, along with fruit baskets and bottled water. Suites also include breathtaking views of the city's skyline, marble bathrooms with Jacuzzi baths, and prestigious Hermes toiletries. A unique feature the Hotel Heritage offers that no other hotel in Bruges does, is a computer station in every room featuring Wi-Fi connection at a small cost (corporate guests receive Wi-Fi complimentary).

Bruges has such a rich history, and offers everything from its famous lace to decadent chocolate, all of which cannot be experienced during a single day trip. We invite the press to experience the hotel and this remarkable city for travel articles that focus on unique destinations, luxury/lifestyle travel and much more.
