A charming hotel in the centre of Bruges

History and surroundings

Martin’s Relais takes you 700 years back in time. At one time, the patrician homes in the heart of Bruges served as residences, a tavern, a factory, storage space and haven of refuge.

Are you looking for a hotel with character in The Venice of the North? Martin's Relais is the only ‘boutique hotel’ in the historic city centre of Bruges, just a short walk from the Grote Markt. 

Martin’s Relais comprises five ancient historic patrician residences – offering you today all of the comfort of a 4-star hotel. Stucco ceilings, crystal chandeliers, lovely fireplaces, oak-wood stairways, parquet floors and marble … The moment you step into Martin’s Relais, time stands still. Your visit to Bruges begins here in the cosy, romantic and tranquil atmosphere of these gorgeous patrician residences, bordered by the canals that are so characteristic of The Venice of the North. 

Martin's Relais is the ideal home base for discovering the city, with its beguinage, the historic buildings and an extremely varied culture agenda. Bruges displays its rich past in an elegant and respectful way. 

In 2012, Martin’s Relais received the EMAS and ISO 14001 quality certificates for its progressive environmental management.
