Guest House Nuit Blanche – A Favorite for Families in Bruges
About the Hotel
Historic Canal-Side Stay
Guest House Nuit Blanche sits along the Gruuthuse Canal, 300 meters from the Basilica of the Holy Blood. The medieval mansion, once frequented by Winston Churchill and Belgium's royal couple, retains its Gothic character with original features like seven fireplaces. The property includes a walled garden with views of the Church of Our Lady and Gruuthuse Palace.
Themed Rooms with Character
Two unique rooms are available: 'Lune de Miel' (where King Albert and Queen Paola honeymooned) and 'Pasionaria' with a barrel-vaulted wooden ceiling. Both include free minibars, fireplaces, and sitting areas. 'Pasionaria' offers canal views, while 'Lune de Miel' overlooks the garden. A film projector and sparkling wine are provided in select rooms.
Artist-Hosted Breakfast Experience
Breakfast is a three-course meal served in-room or in host David De Graef's art studio. The menu changes daily, featuring local dairy, seasonal fruit, charcuterie, and baked goods. Coffee is brewed fresh, with house-made jams and honey from the garden.
Central Cultural Location
The Groeningemuseum art museum is across St. Bonifacius Bridge, a 30-second walk. The Markt square and Belfry are 5 minutes away on foot. De Halve Maan Brewery and Hoeke Windmill are within 1.5 km. Public parking is available nearby for €15/day.
Artist-Led Hospitality
Owner David De Graef, a Flemish painter, personally curates guests' experiences with recommendations for lesser-known attractions. His art studio (open 1-6 PM daily) displays original works. The property has no formal reception; check-in is arranged via direct communication with the host.
