The Hotel Heritage lives up to its name in every way. The nineteenth century building, in a UNESCO World Heritage area, has a dining room dating from 1869, a fourteenth-century wine cellar, and a gym housed in twelfth-century quarters. Part of the Relais and Chateaux group, rooms range from Classic (with an iPad) up to a suite with a Belfry view. The hotel is conveniently situated in the middle of medieval Bruges and close to theatres, shops and restaurants serving Belgium’s acclaimed cuisine. A horse and carriage ride starting from here would be a pleasant way to take in the rest of the compact city centre.
