The De Barge Boat Hotel Bruges is so named because it is actually a "boat hotel" still afloat after having been retired from years as a commercial vessel. It was renovated into a hotel but the original marine theme is still present. The on board restaurant serves dinner; in good weather guests can choose to dine on an adjacent outdoor patio. For those with a romantic streak, a horse drawn carriage can be arranged nearby. Parking is available for guests who prefer more modern transportation.
