Bottom Line

Offering one of the best views in Bruges, the 16-room Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce - Luxe Worldwide Hotel is a charming upscale boutique overlooking the bend of the Dijver Canal. The polished rooms have beautiful features like exposed beam ceilings, distressed wood floors, and pretty floral curtains. There’s no proper bar or full restaurant on-site, but the hotel serves breakfast in a lovely room with adjacent patio seating offering views of the canal. Those who would prefer a larger hotel with more features should consider the similarly priced Kempinski Hotel Dukes' Palace, which has a full restaurant and bar on-site as well as a fitness center and spa.

Oyster Hotel Review

Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce – Luxe Worldwide Hotel

Scene

Charming boutique with high-end furnishings

Wood cladding and peaked roofs give the hotel a charming look from the quaint, picturesque street outside. The canal flanks the hotel on two sides, and the area is popular with tourists wanting to take in the postcard-perfect views. Inside the lobby the small, white front desk is charming with gold embellishments. The hotel is formed out of former residences, and hallways and stairways have a tight, homey vibe. There’s no actual bar at the hotel, but a parlor with a buffet table holding liquor bottles and fabric chairs forming a seating area serve that purpose. Breakfast is served in a romantic room with leather chairs and a brick fireplace, and a stone patio with cafe tables provides an outdoor space for taking in the canal views.
