Top 5 most romantic hotels in Bruges

They visit for a weekend, thanks in particular to its proximity to northern France. The city is dotted with many charming hotels. The most luxurious ones, real palaces, pamper couples with wellness packages and seduce them with gourmet dinners by candlelight. Sleeping in an old patrician residence or a ducal palace dating from the 15th century is also an opportunity to take a trip back through the history of Bruges. You don't get out of these comforts much, except to stroll through the narrow streets of the historic centre, take a horse-drawn carriage ride or sail along the maze of canals. In Bruges, lovers are sure to find a most romantic hotel, the perfect complement to their visit to this absolutely charming little town in Flanders.
