Hotel Die Swaene**** is a sanctuary overlooking one of the most picturesque canals, right at the very heart of the old historical city center and just a stone-throw away from the Market and Burg square. This prize-winning hotel is considered to be one of the most romantic and peaceful boutique hotels in Europe and is renown for its customer-friendliness and excellent service. Quite a unicum in this age of 'time is money' but here one still finds time to listen to the needs of the guest. Die Swaene**** has 24 elegantly furnished and individually decorated rooms and the public rooms have an atmosphere of times past. The authentic salon "Guild of Merchant Taylors" (1779) is classified heritage and a perfect place to relax by the fire-place after a day of exploring the beautiful city. Or do you prefer to take an aperitif in the cozy bar or have a plunge in the swimming pool with sauna? Its all possible in Die Swaene. At the opposite side of the canal one finds the "Pergola" wing with 8 Superior Deluxe rooms, each with fire-place in the room and view over the water. From Monday to Friday we offer a free guided tour with an English speaking guide. Die Swaene**** has everything to make your visit unforgettable !

A nice little 17 room hotel in a great location next to the canal and a short walk to the market square. The room was nicely decorated, and the big "living room" with an honor bar was relaxing. Staff were responsive and cheerful. The bathroom shower had no door, and the shower wand was broken and sprayed water at the wall, so taking a shower was a big mess.

Die Swaene is absolutely stunning. Charming boutique hotel nestled right on the canal. The staff are amazing and super accommodating. The indoor pool & sauna is a great bonus too! Highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for the best stay In Bruges. Walking distance to everything. Now that Christmas is around the corner, it truly feels like a fairytale. You won’t be disappointed.

Nothing was average about this hotel. Some excellent points included the staff, the decor, the interior pool and sauna, the location, the firm beds, I could go on... A distinct smell hits you as soon as you arrive. Curious. Not bad; curious. And it's superb location (genuinely: the closest I've ever found a quiet hotel to the centre!) is partially undone by the mosquito fest so close to the canals: literally squashed mosquitoes on the walls. Overall, though well worth it!

We absolutely LOVED staying at Die Swaene Hotel. We were greeted by Conrad who works at the front desk. He took such pride in his hotel and showed us all around and was so welcoming. Our room had a large window that opened so we could hear the church bells ringing while we looked out onto the canal. The rooms and the rest of the hotel were decorated in a way that made us feel like we were transported back in history. The location was right in the heart of everything with restaurants and shopping within a short walk. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we will definitely return in the future.

The hotel is beautiful, a pleasant rococo style. Very well located in the center of Bruges, in front of the canal. The staff is helpful and kind and we’ve loved to came with our dog. The swimming pool is great by the way. The parking is cheap. We will return with pleasure !

I really liked this hotel. It is centrally located, on a canal and its rococo style was sumptuous. I was told that all rooms are different. Mine was very nice with a large Queen bed, furnished in the rococo style that looked onto the canal. It had a bath, which is a nice change. It’s unique that the hotel has a swimming pool. The pool is not large, but still nice and there is sauna, though not Jacuzzi. The breakfast was large and very nice. The service was very good, especially Marijke. I can’t say anything bad about it. Oh… only one thing… the bed was a bit hard, but some people like it hard… I know I did until a few years ago. Maybe I should have asked if they have a topper, but I didn’t.

We loved this boutique hotel. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are beautifully furnished with super-comfy beds. Breakfast includes everything one can wish for and is served at the table. There was enough food there for the hungriest of guests. You can have a drink in the large sitting room (the refrigerators are well stocked with soft drinks, beers, wines and juices). It's self service with honor system*. There is a small swimming pool and a sauna which we didn't use this time, but we will next time. We will be back! *guests take what they want and write down what they took.

Absolutely amazed at the Hotel Setting and its Decor! Room 46 had a very emotional impact on us! All Management and Staff were exceptional in every way. Breakfast, Honesty Bar Lounge, Swimming Pool, Sauna, all fantastic. The Hotel was in a great locale, for sightseeing and restaurants close by. When we return to Bruges and we WILL there is no other place we would consider staying. This is a Gem for those who appreciate a step back in time THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!

Little gem of a hotel, I would definitely recommend Die Swaene and hope to go back to stay sometime again. Great location for exploring Bruges. The staff couldn't do enough for us, especially Olivier on reception. Room was clean, tidy and comfortable. Highly recommend it

Not as good as it looks. Not 4*. Great location and central parking option. Quirky furniture but odd rooms - overcrowded with big chairs so little room to move. Tiny separate toilet. Little pool which is nice. Breakfast was poor - no fruit or cereals and salmon left out uncovered on table for ages. Another odd thing was having to look for staff to greet us on arrival - no bell on reception. Then, later in the day, the bell appeared on the desk. Then later in the evening, it disappeared again - what’s that all about? 😂😂
