About the hotel

‍
Hotel Acacia is a modern four-star hotel in the historic heart of Bruges, hidden in the Korte Zilverstraat, just a few steps from the Markt. Behind the discreet façade is a surprisingly spacious interior, with cozy salons, an attractive bar with a fireplace and a quiet courtyard where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The decor is contemporary, with warm colors, soft lighting and a mix of comfortable seating that invites you to linger after a day in the city.

The rooms are designed with contemporary comfort in mind. All rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, desk, minibar, coffee and tea facilities and a safe. Bathrooms are modern, often with a rain shower, a spacious sink and well-kept toiletries. The more spacious room types include extra seating areas or sofa beds, making them suitable for small families or friends traveling together. The combination of dark wood tones, fresh textures and calm colors creates a pleasant balance between business and warmth.

The hotel emphatically presents itself as a practical base for both holidaymakers and business visitors. The reception is also available late at night, there is Wi-Fi throughout the building and a computer is available in the shared lounge. Upon arrival, guests receive a city plan and a discounted pass for various sights, making it easier to spontaneously plan a museum or cruise. For those traveling by car, private parking is available at the hotel by reservation only, and there is a charging point for electric cars, which is a clear plus in the compact center.

The bar offers a drink at the end of the day, possibly by the fireplace when it's colder outside. On sunny days, the garden terrace is a pleasant place to relax, with a view of surrounding facades and lots of greenery. Breakfast is served buffet-style and offers a combination of bread, breakfast cakes, fruit, yoghurt and hot dishes, so that both early birds and late-starting travellers have a good start to the day. Due to its scale and interior, Hotel Acacia feels more like a serviced city home than an anonymous metropolitan hotel.

The surroundings

‍
The Korte Zilverstraat is a narrow, mostly traffic-restricted street that connects the Markt with the shopping area around Steenstraat and Zilverpandpassage. From the hotel, you can reach the Markt in a few moments, with the Belfry, the Provincial Court and the row of historic facades that give Bruges its iconic silhouette. During the day, it's bustling here with terraces, carriages, tours and visitors climbing the Belfry steps. As soon as you step back into the Korte Zilverstraat, it becomes noticeably quieter, with mainly pedestrians and shoppers.

The area is steeped in medieval architecture: narrow alleys, stepped gables, church towers and squares that alternate at a rapid pace. A short walk away you will find the Basilica of the Holy Blood on the Burg, the town hall, the canals with their quays and bridges, and museums such as the Groeninge Museum and Historium. The main shopping streets surround the hotel, giving you a choice between big brands, small boutiques, chocolatiers and specialty shops.

Due to its central location, the neighborhood is a logical starting point to explore Bruges on foot. At the same time, the position in the car-free center requires some planning for those traveling by car: streets around the Markt have loading and unloading times, shopping areas and sometimes adapted access during shopping days or events. This makes the combination of a private car park at the hotel and the nearby public parking garage in the Zilverstraat extra relevant for guests who link a city trip to a car trip.
