Our hotel is situated in a building that
used to be a part of the ‘ Prinsenhof ’ (Court of Princes), the
residence of the dukes of Burgundy dating the second half of the 14th
century.
It was the explicit wish of Duke Philips the Good, founder of the Order
of the Golden Fleece, to have a personal home where he could stay and
rest without being disturbed.
The duke bought the adjacent “ Hotel Vert ”and assigned a master
carpenter to turn this house into a small palace. The result of this is
that you will be able to admire beamed ceilings adorned with etches and
in the former staircase tower are now some of the bathrooms.
When the duke’s son Charles the Bold (Karel de Stoute), count of
Charolais, married Margaret of York in 1468 he gave this house as a
dowry to the newly wed couple and named the house “ Hotel Charolais “.
After the death of Charles the Bold and later his daughter Mary of
Burgundy, the Prinsenhof lost its interest and bit by bit it was sold.
Yet this stately mansion of ‘Carolus, Duxus, Burgu’ still remains a
dwelling of great historic value and fulfills its predestination as a
hotel on a quiet location, where we will make you feel at home.
Hotel 'Karel de Stoute' is a charming,
peaceful 3-star hotel situated in a picturesque and historic
neighbourhood in the very heart of Brugge.
All 9 rooms, some of them spacious and
mostly with beamed ceilings, have en-suite facilities with telephone and
colour television.
There are also family rooms and adjacent rooms with a connecting door.
A succulent buffet-style breakfast with a
friendly personal service will be an excellent start to your day and
from morning till night you will always savour our homely atmosphere.
