As its name suggests, the Boat-hotel De Barge is housed on a riverboat which used to ply the Bruges-Ghent canal and is therefore ideal for guests who appreciate unusual accommodation. It's a family-run property and it prides itself on its warm welcome, high standard of service and friendly hospitality. All 22 guestrooms/cabins have nautical-themed décor and are en-suite. The hotel’s restaurant boasts a good reputation in the city and serves excellent seafood - try the fresh lobster or oysters. There is also a bar stocked with local beers and a good selection of wines. The staff is more than happy to share its Bruges knowledge and give tips and information to make your stay in the city as complete as possible.
