In February, a long expected event will take place in Bruges, Belgium. The majestic Kempinsky Dukes Palace, originally built in the 15th century, will open its gates and welcome the first guests. Its 93 rooms including 22 Junior Suites and Suites are equipped with the newest technologies, e.g. flat screen TVs, high speed internet access and w-lan, minibar and safe.

During the centuries, the hotel exchanged owners several times, until the present owners turned it into the very attractive Kempinski Hotel Dukes’ Palace Bruges.
