Martin’s Relais is a four-star hotel created from five 17th-century canal houses in the heart of Bruges, combining historic character with thoughtful modern comfort. Its 44 bedrooms are individually decorated — each with antique furniture, original features and a well-appointed modern bathroom — and the hotel benefits from a tranquil rose garden and several comfortable lounges. The setting alongside the Spiegelrei canal is both picturesque and peacefully quiet, despite being within a short walk of the city’s most celebrated sights.
A convivial bar serves a well-chosen selection of Belgian beers, both indoors and on the terrace during summer. A buffet breakfast with cava is served in a grand breakfast room — a pleasantly civilised way to start a golf day. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. The Groeninge Museum is a ten-minute walk, and the Concert Hall is just slightly further, making this a natural choice for golfers keen to explore Bruges between rounds on a Belgium golf break.
The courses at Damme, Royal Zoute, Royal Ostend and Oostburg are all within thirty minutes, delivering a varied spread of Belgian golf for those building a Bruges golf package. For couples in particular — wanting a romantic historic setting alongside proper golf — Martin’s Relais offers a combination that is difficult to better anywhere in Belgium.
