Venue Information

Academie Hotel, Bruges

The 4* Academie Hotel is situated right in the historic “golden triangle” of Bruges. All 82 en suite bedrooms offer satellite TV and hairdryer. The hotel boasts a lovely winter garden and stylish garden terrace as well as easy access on foot to the city centre. Due to the historic nature of Bruges, the street is too narrow for coaches so you will be dropped off 50 yards from the hotel entrance.
