Boutiquehotel 't Fraeyhuis

Why It Matters
Awarded 1 Michelin Key in 2025. Formerly Hotel Egmond, it's a genuine reinvention of a centuries-old manor right on Minnewater Park. Adults-only (16+), only 13 rooms, and one of the few hotels in Bruges with a private car park. The garden bar draws locals too.
Formerly Hotel Egmond, this 4-star adults-only manor sits right on the edge of Minnewater Park — one of Bruges' most serene green spaces. The building carries traces of its Renaissance past: a grand stone fireplace in the lobby, exposed beams overhead, moody art photography on the walls. But the rooms are fully modern, with stone floors, smart lighting panels, and contemporary finishes. Twelve individually styled rooms make the whole place feel more like staying in a private townhouse than a hotel. It holds 1 Michelin Key (2025), the first year the guide included hotels.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Budget Room
The smallest room in the hotel at just 16 m² — compact but not without character. King-size box-spring bed, walk-in shower, espresso machine, minibar with free water. Genuinely cosy if you're only here to sleep and explore. Not the place to unpack a large suitcase.
King (180x200cm) · 16 sqm
Deluxe Room
At 23 m², the Deluxe is the sweet spot for most guests. All the standard amenities plus a bit more breathing room. Some ground-floor Deluxe rooms have their own exterior entrance — useful if you arrive late. Reviews note the sleeping area can still feel tight if you're unpacking for several nights.
King (180x200cm) · 23 sqmJunior Suite
28 m² with a standout feature: an open-plan bathroom with direct views over the park. The walk-in shower and designer bathtub are part of the main room space. Not for those who need bathroom privacy — but for a couple wanting a genuinely special room, it works beautifully.
King (180x200cm) · 28 sqmJunior Suite with Fireplace
The top-of-the-range option. 28 m² with a working romantic fireplace as the centrepiece, plus a designer bathtub. Same size as the standard Junior Suite but the fireplace changes the atmosphere entirely — it's a proper winter room. The room that guests mention when writing 'best hotel I've ever stayed in'.
King (180x200cm) · 28 sqmStandard Room
A step up at 20 m² — still intimate but more workable. Same package of amenities as the Budget Room: king-size bed, walk-in shower, espresso machine, minibar. All rooms here feel individual; no two are decorated identically.
