Hotel in Bruges, Belgium
Martin's Brugge
Set in a renovated beer brewery near Bruges' Market Square, this upscale mid-range hotel celebrates Belgian brewing heritage. The 138 rooms feature warm, contemporary design with nods to the building's history. The excellent breakfast, central location, and friendly service make it popular with couples and families.
Martin's Brugge occupies a former beer brewery at Oude Burg 5 in the heart of Bruges, Belgium, positioned directly opposite the medieval Belfort belfry and within fifty metres of the Markt, the city's central market square and the hub of civic life in this UNESCO World Heritage city. The building's brewing history is woven into the hotel's contemporary design aesthetic, with industrial and heritage details referencing Bruges' long tradition as a centre of Belgian brewing. The hotel operates as a three-star superior property with 138 rooms.
Room types include double, triple, family, and quadruple configurations. Family rooms accommodate two adults and two children up to seventeen years of age using bunk beds, making the property a practical choice for families exploring the city together. All rooms feature quality bedding, HDTV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, and those renovated in 2017–2018 balance contemporary comfort with the authentic character of the original brewery building.
The hotel features the Akko Restaurant for on-site dining and a lounge bar inspired by the design language of early twentieth-century transatlantic ocean liners — warm, atmospheric spaces well-suited to evening drinks after a day exploring the Bruges canal network. The breakfast buffet is highly regarded and provides a comprehensive start to the day before visiting the Church of Our Lady, the Groeningemuseum, or the Basilica of the Holy Blood.
Bike rental is available from the hotel, a particularly appealing option in Bruges, a city celebrated for its cycling infrastructure and flat terrain. The rental enables guests to reach outer areas such as the Minnewater park, the Beguinage, and the suburban green belt efficiently.
Underground parking is available at €35 per night, subject to availability, and must be reserved in advance. A tourist tax of €4.20 per person per night applies. The proximity to the Belfort, Burg Square, and the majority of Bruges' heritage sites makes Martin's Brugge a well-priced mid-range base for a city break in one of Belgium's most visited cities.
