Does anyone have a hotel suggestion for the Bruges area? We prefer a two or three star hotel. We will have a car so that will limit our choices in the old town area. Thanks!

We liked the Lace Hotel. It is an easy walk to the heart of the old town and best of all, it's about 200 feet from a really nice 3000 car underground parking garage. Here are two critical facts if you choose to stay there. 1) The address is 'T Zand 5. If you do not use the ' your GPS will not find the address. Guess how I learned that. 2) If you do not have a chip and pin credit card, the only entrance to the garage that takes cash is the one at the southeast corner of the big market square that is over the garage. Learned that the hard way too, in the rein. A great afternoon snack is hot chocolate and a waffle upstairs at the Old Chocolate House at 1 Mariastraat. We never had anything like it. Have a great stay

We liked Hotel Patritius - we didn't have a car when we were there but their website suggests that parking is available nearby.

We stayed at the Hans Memling Hotel and liked it. It is a short walk from the Market Square. Parking is nearby. The reviews on booking.com are pretty accurate.

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza (RS recommended) and loved it. We loved Bruges. Fairy tale town, so charming and so fun. We rented bikes there for 24 hrs and had a lot of fun riding all over town, the old center, the residential areas, all around the town next to a modern canal and park, and out into the country to the small town of Damme. We spent 3 nights there and didn't want to leave.

The Hotel Patritius was booked. We will try some of the other hotels. Thanks for the posts. I will look forward to more. We had only planned to stay two nights...do I hear that the number should be three? It is also great to read the interesting responses on the post made by Brian. Thanks also to those who have done that.

Bev, You might have a look at Hotel Adornes. It's a wonderful hotel in a great location, and I believe they do offer limited parking. I'd suggest booking as soon as possible though. Happy travels!
