Hotel Accommodation

As Bruges is intensively visited by tourists throughout the year, the Organising Committee has negotiated a large number of hotel rooms at attractive group rates in several categories of hotel ranging from budget to 5 star hotels. These rates are only available through the congress website.

You will find that all of these hotels offer quality lodging including breakfast. Most hotels have car park facilities. Bruges is also very popular with youngsters and a large number of cheap youth hotels and private houses offering bed and breakfast are available. All hotels are located within walking distance and the short walk to the congress centre will give delegates a general impression of Bruges’ architectural and historic splendour.
