Situated in the cultural and historic heart of Bruges, along ‘De Dijver’ canal, Hotel De Orangerie, part of the Small Luxury Hotels Of The World, welcomes you and your four legged friends into this luxurious place where the past meets the present.

This former 500 year-old Carthusian convent dating back to the 15^th century oozes nostalgic charm. Like a true oasis of elegance, it is overflowing with engravings, old paintings, tapestries, silk curtains and antiques. The combination of antique furniture and the contemporary, pastel-tinted interior lends the hotel a cosy yet fresh and modern allure.

Take pleasure in enjoying your breakfast or an English Afternoon Tea either on the terrace overlooking the water, warm and cosy in the oak dining room or relaxing in a chair by the fireplace.

Managed by the Vermast family, who have perfectly incorporated the history of the medieval building in the décor, offers an elegant hideaway, with spacious guestrooms overlooking the picturesque Dijver Canal.

The origins of this luxurious hotel stretch all the way back to 1580, when the Carthusians settled here. During the centuries that followed, the nuns of the Carthusian Order enlarged their humble quarters into a sizeable cloister.

In 1783, the cloister was abolished. The convent buildings soon fell into disrepair. The governing body of the church tried for some time to breathe new life into the buildings by bringing together several sisters here in 1790. Six years later, the curtain finally fell when the French shut down the convent.

In the 19th century, the Zusters van Liefde (Sisters of Love) from Ghent occupied the old Carthusian convent. After that, the historical complex was used as a carriage house, as a private home and later as a tearoom. It was only in the second half of the 1980’s that is was converted into a hotel.

Bruges is one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities. With its cobbled streets, canals and historic churches, it’s a wonderful place to visit and stroll around this pet friendly city with your dog.

Hotel de Orangerie, is within walking distance from the shops and historical sites, the Market Square and the Belfry of Brugge. You will also find within a short distance the Gruuthuse Museum. Bruges Railway Station is just over a 15-minute walk away. The stunning botanical park is located right in the centre of Brugge, not far from the Fish Market and Saint Magdalene’s Church.

You will enjoy taking in the sights and sounds of Brugge as you wander along the canals, which is also perfect for walking with your dog. The Rozenhoedkaai canal offers some fantastic views of the city.
