Bottom Line
The 45-room Hotel De Tuilerieen mixes the historical and the contemporary in an upscale way, creating a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere throughout. It is in the heart of Bruges on the Dijver Canal and within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and attractions; however, this sometimes results in noise reaching the rooms. Grand furniture, pops of color, and thoughtful extras decorate the elegant yet modern rooms and the bathrooms are large and appealing. Original features can be seen throughout the hotel and there is free Wi-Fi, a wellness center, and butler service by request. On-site parking is available, but costs a daily fee, and the breakfast, although wonderful, is expensive.
