Charming and romantic Hotel in Bruges

Situated in the very heart of the city of Bruges, a few steps away from the canals, THE PANDHOTEL, reveals its charm in this typical private mansion from the 18th Century.

The hotel is member of “Small Luxury Hotels of the World” and “Romantik Hotels International”.

A lot of my readers have already emailed me asking where to stay when visiting Bruges.

This is one of my favorite hotels in Bruges and I definitely want to recommend it to all of you!

  This 18th Century carriage house has been converted to a wonderful “boutique hotel” with a delicate and skilful interpretation of each living space.

 

The owners of the hotel,very much in love with antiques and objects of art, wanted to share this passion with their guests while creating an interior full of charm and character expressing a timeless, elegant, nice and comfortable atmosphere.

 

Cosy and nostalgic atmosphere in the bar.

In the library guests can relax by the open fire. The pine panelled walls and old wooden floors give the lounges the singular elegance of an English house.

 

Full cooked breakfast with waiter service and champagne!

 

Gathering room.

 

The patio.

 

Let’s take a look at the rooms!

 

All 26 bedrooms have been individually decorated and offer the required modern comfort.

 

 

Ralph Lauren fabrics.

 

Some of the rooms have a wonderful terrace and…

 

…some of them have a wonderful view towards the ‘Belfry Tower’ of Bruges.

Eye for detail.

The PAND provides its guests with all the services of an international deluxe hotel … and with all the care and surprises of a private mansion in a blend of intimacy and cordiality.

And please DON’T FORGET to visit the websites of the exclusive guesthouses of the hotel !! You will not regret it!!! Awesome!!!

Flemish house in Bruges

 

Bruges, the most beautiful city of Belgium and which is called “Venice of the North”, has next to the gorgeous mediaeval houses in the city center, beautiful charming Flemish country houses.

This post is about one of these typical romantic Flemish houses.

Some pictures of the mediaeval part of Bruges.

The country house in Bruges

The house has a bricked façcade which is, after been totaly cleaned, repainted in white. Charming isn’t it?

 

The entry of the house has an antique oak panelling.

 

The living room is decorated in the old Flemish way with an antique wood carved chimney piece.

The doors of the cabinetry are made of reclaimed elm wood. The doors are washed and waxed.

Reclaimed parquet floor.

 

A pine wooden dining table and French LXV chairs.

Bright painted walls to contrast with the darker wood of the parquet floor and furniture.

You notice that the house is decorated in a more modest way, the decoration is not overdone, which is a characteristic of Flemish interiors. You will always notice some charming objects  ‘objects with a soul’ and a choice for rather simply designed furniture.

 

 

A glazed antique double door towards the kitchen. Belgian blue stone for the kitchen countertops. French “Pierre de Bourgogne” floor.

 

The French Pierre de Bourgogne floor tiles.

 

The painted panelling behind the bed repeats the shape of the windows.

Beautiful chosen bed linen.

 

Behind the reclaimed poplar door is hidden the powder room.

 

The children’s room with Belgian bedlinen and linen slipcovered seats.

 

Table dressed to enjoy having tea in the romantic garden of the house.

 

Reading my earlier posts about Belgian architecture and houses, one of my readers asked me if there are only big houses to see in Belgium?!  Oh no, there are a lot of lovely smaller houses who are so charming and so pleasant to live in.

A house needn’t to be big to be beautiful! Smaller houses can be so much more cozy and warm to live in. Aren’t you agree with me?

I hope that today you learned something more about Belgian design and interiors!
