The Pand Hotel is one of the best-loved small luxury hotels in Bruges, tucked into a quiet street a three-minute walk from the Markt, the Basilica of the Holy Blood and the Belfry. It is a four-star boutique property in an old townhouse, with rooms and suites that are individually furnished in a vintage style, with period pieces, rich fabrics and, in many cases, jetted tubs. Room categories range from Charming rooms to a Master Suite and duplex junior suites. The public areas have the feel of a cultivated private home, with a lobby fireplace, a library, a bar and a terrace, and concierge services help with restaurant tables, tickets and plans. Breakfast is available for a surcharge and is reported to be served at the table by staff rather than as a buffet, which suits the intimate scale. The hotel is a short walk from everything in the centre yet on a street that is quiet at night, which is the combination most visitors want from a Bruges base.
Location and getting around
The Pand is about three minutes on foot from the Markt, the Basilica and the Belfry, and the canal landing stages are close. The station is roughly twenty minutes away on foot, or a short taxi ride, which is easier with luggage. Everything in the old town can be reached on foot, and the hotel offers bicycle parking and an airport shuttle for a surcharge.
The rooms and facilities
Rooms are individually decorated and vary in size, so read the descriptions and consider upgrading to a suite for extra space or a duplex layout. The jetted tubs are a welcome comfort after a day on the cobbles. Air conditioning is a useful touch in summer, and the terrace and library offer places to sit in the evening. An electric car charging station is available for guests who drive.
Who it suits
Couples and discerning first-time visitors who want a central address and the character of a historic house. Families with older children can use the larger suites, but the mood is adult and relaxed. Those who want a pool, a spa or a full restaurant will find larger hotels better matched.
Good to know
Parking is limited and charged per night, so reserve it with your room. Breakfast and airport transfers carry a surcharge, so decide whether to add them when you book. Reserve early for the Christmas market period and spring weekends, because small hotels in this part of Bruges sell out first.
