The Academie Hotel in Bruges is situated in the golden triangle of the city, and is located within walking distance of the Minnewater, a canalized lake known as the lake of love due to its idyllic surroundings. The Gruuthuuse Museum, which features remarkable collections of furniture, tapestries, musical instruments, paintings and weapons from the 13th to the 19th centuries, sits close by the hotel as well. Guests can also walk to the Diamond Museum and explore the mysterious history of one of Belgiums most important exports or climb the 366 stairs to the top of Belfry tower, where one is rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views.
Cars are not allowed into the center of Bruges, known as the Venice of the North, but guests can take canal trips or charter a horse drawn carriage to explore the surroundings.
