"Built by the Duke of Burgundy to mark his royal marriage, this 15th-century palace is now Bruges’ most opulent stay, and its only five-star hotel set within a former chateau. At Dukes’ Palace Brugge, history hasn’t been dusted away but carefully layered with comfort: original oil paintings, chandeliers, and stained glass sit easily alongside marble bathrooms and heated floors. Tapestry-toned rooms overlook sculpted gardens dotted with contemporary art, while the bistro and spa offer indulgences fit for nobility, past or present." - Tablet Hotels
