About the hotel

‍
The White Queen B&B is a small and charming bed and breakfast located in a seventeenth-century mansion at Sint Jorisstraat 44, in the heart of Bruges. With a total of eight beds and carefully decorated rooms, each with a private ensuite bathroom, the address combines historic character with contemporary comforts such as free Wi-Fi, a catered buffet breakfast and, where available, a minibar. The decor emphasizes light tones, soft fabrics and subtle references to the house's history, making guests feel like they're staying in an elegant but casual city retreat.

Each room is individually decorated, with attention to rest, good mattresses and plenty of storage space. The bathrooms are modernly furnished and equipped with a shower or bath, sink, toilet and basic bath products. In some rooms, sight lines to the street or courtyard provide an extra sense of space. The scale of the house and the limited number of rooms enhance the sense of intimacy: you're not staying here in a large hotel, but in a carefully restored city home where the owners consciously focus on hospitality and personal attention.

For visitors who are specifically looking for a hotel with parking in Bruges, The White Queen offers a clear advantage: secure private parking next to the B&B at a fixed daily rate per 24 hours. Reserving a parking space is mandatory, which ensures that guests arriving by car know in advance that their car can be parked close to the stay and in a safe place. This combination of historic charm, modern facilities and concrete parking facilities makes the B&B attractive for both short city trips and longer stays.

The surroundings

‍
The location of The White Queen could hardly be more central. Sint Jorisstraat is located in the historic heart of Bruges, a few minutes' walk from the Grote Markt, the Belfry, the Burg and the main shopping streets. The street is part of an old urban fabric of narrow alleys, patrician houses and small squares that give Bruges its intimate atmosphere. When you step out the front door, you almost immediately find yourself among the medieval facades, cobbled streets and canals that make the city so recognizable.

Despite its central location, Sint Jorisstraat remains remarkably quiet, especially compared to the busier axes around the Markt. The street feels residential, with a mix of homes, a few small-scale accommodations and discreet restaurants. This makes The White Queen particularly suitable for guests who want to take full advantage of the proximity to sights during the day but seek the peace of a quieter street at night.

From the B&B, you can effortlessly reach both the major attractions and smaller hidden spots while walking. The canals with their characteristic bridges are within walking distance; the combination of water, facades and trees gives Bruges a different face at any time of the day. The connection to other neighborhoods, such as the area around the Stadsschouwburg, Sint Anna or the green edge towards fortresses, also starts easily from the neighborhood around Sint Jorisstraat.

Things to do in the area

‍
From The White Queen, you can walk to the Grand Place and the Belfry in a few minutes, where, if you want, you can climb the tower for a panoramic view of the city. Nearby are also the Burg with the town hall and the Basilica of the Holy Blood, where architecture, history and religion come together. Around these central squares, you'll find streets full of shops, chocolatiers, cafes and restaurants.

The compact scale of Bruges makes it possible to see a lot in a short time. Walking routes along the Dijver and Burg take you past water, museums and historic facades. Themed routes, such as a trip to various churches, a walk around the canals or a course through city parks, start easily from Sint Jorisstraat. A canal cruise offers a different perspective on the city and is within walking distance.

Bikes are available via the B&B or local hosts, ideal for exploring just outside the historic center. By bike, for example, you can go to the city walls, the Minnewaterpark, the Begijnhof or the polders around Bruges, and then return to the comfort of the B&B. Bruges station is easily accessible for travelers by train; from there, local shuttles and buses run to the city center and the stop near Howest or Sint Jorisstraat is within walking distance according to the route description. For drivers, the presence of private parking at the hotel offers a lot of practical security, while you can usually leave the car behind for the rest of the stay.

Accessibility

By train
Bruges Station is the main railway hub for national and international train travel to the city. From the station, you can take a taxi or use a city shuttle or city bus; one of the stops is near Howest and Sint Jorisstraat, after which it's a short walk to house number 44. This makes the combination of train and short city travel a logical choice for those who prefer not to drive into the center by car.

By car
The White Queen has a secure private car park next to the bed and breakfast. Reservations are required and, according to hotel information, the price is twenty euros per twenty-four hours. Some hotel promotions or packages offer a discount on parking costs, for example a fifty percent discount within certain packages. For guests who want to be sure of a parking space during busy periods, it is advisable to book the parking directly at the room.

Those who prefer to park their car elsewhere or who no longer find space in the private car park can use public car parks and parking zones in or around the center. There are underground car parks within walking distance of the Market Square and other central points, and many of these garages offer the possibility of pre-booking online. This is particularly useful during weekends, vacation periods, and events.

Parking

‍
The White Queen B and B has a secure private car park next to the property. This car park is exclusive to guests, fully enclosed and accessible by reservation only. The price is twenty euro per twenty-four hours and advance reservations are required to ensure a spot upon arrival. This makes the stay particularly suitable for those traveling by car and still want to stay in the center of Bruges without parking stress.

For guests who prefer to park elsewhere or when the private parking is full, there are several public car parks in the city center where you can park for a short or longer period of time for a fee. These garages are within walking distance of Sint Jorisstraat and are a practical alternative during busy weekends or vacation periods. If you wish, visitors can reserve a parking space online in advance via a general parking service to plan their visit more smoothly.

If you stay for several days, you can usually leave the car behind after arrival, because the B and B is a few minutes' walk from the Grote Markt and most sights can be reached on foot. Thanks to the combination of secure private parking and additional public options, the location is accessible to both city trippers and travelers entering Bruges by car.
