The best luxury stays in Bruges differ more by mood and micro-location than by scale.
In this city, canal-edge context often matters more than large-format facilities.
In heritage-heavy districts, also check whether elevators, step-free entry, or older staircase layouts matter for your stay before narrowing the shortlist.
