Hotel – Restaurant Weinebrugge

Inside a traditional Belgian-style U-shaped building, there is an open, bright, updated lobby with many brochures and tourist materials. Several seating areas with comfortable, muted-tone furniture decorate the lobby and hallways, while red carpeting and rugs (typical of the brand) add little bits of color. There are also a lot of antique touches such as exposed wood beams and brickwork that add charm to the property. The small but beautiful rooftop terrace has great views and the outdoor courtyard and garden area are well kept and peaceful. There is a cozy and welcoming vibe that runs throughout the Best Western Premier Weinebrugge, including the restaurant and bar.

The Best Western Premier Weinebrugge is located near a small village on large remote grounds. Since it's a quiet destination in the countryside, guests will need to rent a car to visit local shops, restaurants, attractions, or the city of Bruges; the city center is about a 15-minute drive away. There is no public transportation nearby and taxis can become expensive to and from the city each day. Loppem Castle is about a five-minute drive from the hotel and there are numerous scenic countryside walks in the area. Not much is within walking distance, however, the fields and woodland that surround the property create a relaxing getaway.

Soft furniture, comfy beds, plus red and neutral color schemes decorate the rooms at the Best Western Premier Weinebrugge. Some rooms are not as updated as others and only certain ones have mini-fridges and iPod docks; all rooms have flat-screen TVs and electric kettles. Although the rooms themselves are a little bland, the well-lit bathrooms are a standout feature with travertine tile, border-lit mirrors, and heated towel racks; Aqua Line amenities are available as well. Bathrooms are large and several have modern rainfall shower heads in walk-in showers and separate tubs. Almost all rooms have views of the green space that surrounds the hotel.

Even though the hotel is far from the city center, they do offer a shuttle during certain hours to downtown; however, it costs a fee each way and the hours are limited. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, in addition to a free daily breakfast and free parking. The special occasion dining rooms are equipped to the brand standard and the business center looks professional with leather office chairs, audiovisual equipment, and a long wooden table. There is a tiny sauna in the small fitness center. The on-site restaurant serves French-Belgian cuisine that receives excellent reviews and the on-site bar is a favorite as well.
