The historic Grand
Hotel Casselbergh Bruges is a spacious and charming hotel with an amazing
downtown location. It’s within walking distance of restaurants, shops, public
transportation, and attractions. The property is full of character and includes original, historic touches such as fireplaces and exposed wood beams. Rooms are big and quiet with antique details and
beautiful, modern bathrooms, but some rooms pick up street noise and in rooms with vaulted ceilings, the wood beams can be a touch low. There is free Wi-Fi, on-site parking (for a
fee), an excellent breakfast at the restaurant, and a wellness center that offers massages.
Scene
An elegant, upscale, historical hotel
Created from three historical residences
(Casselbergh, Zeven Torens, t Fransch Schildt) and one new building, the Grand
Hotel Casselbergh Bruges has exceptional character from huge marble pillars in
the lobby to large chandeliers in the ground floor rooms. The luxurious hotel bar
includes dark wood, classic plush chairs, and a historic fireplace while the rest of
the hallways and main areas present original wood beams and impressive
paintings. Although the advertised library is lacking books, the furnishings
are colorful and the area is bright. An on-site breakfast restaurant is airy and
open. Even though this hotel is located downtown, it has a luxurious, comfortable, and quiet atmosphere.
Location
Ideal location in the center of Bruges, within walking distance to attractions, shops, and restaurants
The Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges is located on a single lane street at the very center of Bruges with Grote Markt,
Bruges City Theater, Groeningemuseum, Bruges Belfry, Minnewater (Lake of Love),
and tons of restaurants, shops, and businesses within walking distance. Public
transportation can easily get passengers to the airport and Bruges attractions; renting a car is only necessary if you plan on venturing outside the city.
Rooms
Large rooms with historic details, minibars, and modern bathrooms
The rooms at the Grand Hotel Casselbergh
Bruges successfully mix modern and antique to create a comfortable, upscale
space. Beige is accented by red traditional floral patterns on the bedspreads
and curtains, while cozy yellow armchairs provide a pop of color and extra
seating. The comfy beds receive great reviews and the minibars are well
stocked; coffee- and tea-making facilities and flat-screen TVs are present as well. Huge
original beams and gorgeous chandeliers decorate some rooms, but the beams may
sit too closely to some beds. The canal and other historic buildings can be
seen out of some windows, and all bathrooms are modern and include L’Occitane toiletries. Walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads and separate tubs add to
the opulence of the hotel while the black countertops give the otherwise tan area
some color. Rooms are large; some
rooms may receive street noise at night.
Features
On-site breakfast restaurant and bar, plus fitness, wellness, and business centers
A fitness center housed in 14th,
16th, and 17th century cellars has comfortable relaxation
beds, lots of room, and palm trees, but there are only a few machines. An
attached wellness center (advertised as spa) includes marvelous tile throughout
and the sauna and steam bath are large, though show their age; massages are also offered here. The
24-hour business center is small but filled with classic, deluxe furniture and
there are many updated meeting rooms with modern amenities. A beautiful,
contemporary breakfast restaurant receives exceptional reviews and the bar and
lounge include soft, high-quality furniture. Free
Wi-Fi is available throughout the Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges and there are
concierge services; however, there is no room service and there is a fee for on-site
parking.
