Quay 17
Historic Flemish townhouse with clean, minimalist-modern interiors. Warm and personal rather than corporate. Feels more like a very well-designed private home than a hotel.

Why It Matters
Michelin Guide–listed and part of Romantik Hotels. The building dates to the late Middle Ages and was previously a brewery and textile factory. Six individually decorated rooms with canal or city views, a house-brewed craft beer, glass-walled winter garden, and owners who personally welcome every guest.
Six rooms in a centuries-old stone building that's been a broker's house, an inn, a brewery, and a textile factory. Hosts Hans van Bael and Tamara Van den Branden have turned it into one of Bruges' most personal places to stay — right on a quiet canal on Sint Annarei, with wood-beamed ceilings, ultra-modern rain-shower bathrooms, and an in-house craft beer. Breakfast is included, the location scores a perfect 10 on Booking.com, and the whole operation runs without fossil fuels.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Canal View Suite
From EUR375 / nightThe top choice. Overlooks the canal so you can watch tour boats drift past from bed. Glass-enclosed bathroom with both a soaking tub and a rain shower — rare for a B&B at this price point. Slippers, bathrobe, hairdryer, and toiletries included. Extra-long beds. Air conditioning and free WiFi.
City View Suite
From EUR375 / nightViews above the Bruges rooftops instead of the canal. Glass-enclosed bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, modern rain shower, and stylish exposed beam details. Espresso machine, bathrobe, and access to breakfast buffet included. Elegant and spacious.
Deluxe Canal View Room – 21 m²
From EUR310 / nightThe most affordable way to get a canal view. Smallest room in the property at 21 m², but you're looking directly at the water. Modern rain shower, extra-long beds, the full standard amenity set. Good value given the outlook.
21 sqmDeluxe Canal View Room – 26 m²
From EUR310 / nightThe largest of the deluxe rooms. Canal-facing with clean, minimalist lines and a spacious walk-in rain shower bathroom. Extra-long beds, bathrobe and slippers, air conditioning, coffee and tea facilities, smart TV. No bathtub — that's the suite upgrade.
26 sqmDeluxe City View Room – 22 m²
From EUR310 / nightCompact but well-designed entry-level room. City views, rain shower, clean elegant bathroom. Extra-long beds with wake-up service. The smallest room in the property — fine for a short stay but worth upgrading if canal views matter.
22 sqmDeluxe City View Room – 25 m²
From EUR310 / nightGood natural light from city-facing windows. Minimalist and elegant with extra-long beds, rain shower, and a feel that's understated but genuinely comfortable. Slightly larger than its 22 m² sibling with the same amenity set.
