Grand Hotel Casselbergh offers 11 meeting rooms and boardrooms for 2 to 426 guests, a 604 m² conference center and 118 bedrooms in the middle of Bruges. The four-star hotel stands at Hoogstraat 6, next to the Burg and the Market Square. It joins three historic houses with a newer annex built behind them.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells its meeting space to companies for management meetings, business meetings, trainings, presentations and conferences. The conference center covers 604 m² across 11 rooms. The largest capacity the hotel states is 426 guests. The hotel also has a groups team and a downloadable brochure for organisers who want the full specifications.
Rooms and capacities
Four boardrooms on the ground floor suit groups of 2 to 25 people. They are called Zeven Torens, Calis, Koetspoort and Casselbergh. Each sits in a historic room with natural daylight and can be fitted with modern meeting equipment.
Two larger rooms handle plenary formats. The Memling room measures 146 m² and has a skylight that brings daylight into presentations and conferences. The Groeninghe room measures 195 m² and is the largest in the hotel. Its big windows open onto an English patio, so delegates can get fresh air during a long conference, and the layout can be adapted to the event.
The lounges and the bar can be rented separately for a private drink or an informal meeting. The hotel describes the bar with high ceilings, a fireplace, chandeliers, comfortable armchairs and a quiet reading corner.
Accommodation
The hotel has 118 bedrooms, so most delegates can sleep where they work. The rooms are spread over the historic houses Casselbergh, Zeven Torens and 't Fransch Schildt and the new annex. Categories include superior rooms, historic rooms and family suites, all with a modern bathroom. Some rooms look over historic Bruges and its canals. The hotel reopened on April 1, 2021 after a full renovation.
A spa and a fitness area fill the historic basements and give guests a break between sessions. The hotel also has a bar, free Wi-Fi and 40 parking places on site.
Catering
A breakfast buffet is served in the hotel's breakfast restaurant, and the bar-lounges serve drinks through the day. The official site does not describe meeting menus or catering formulas, so ask the hotel what is available for lunches, breaks and dinners.
History and setting
The hotel presents itself as the former home of King Charles II and tells the history of the building on a page of its own. The three historic houses carry the character of Burgundian Bruges, and the renovation of 2021 kept that atmosphere while adding modern comfort. The location is in the old center, beside the Burg and the Market Square.
Getting there
The hotel is at Hoogstraat 6, 8000 Bruges. It has 40 parking places on site. Organisers should ask the hotel about arrival by train and access for coaches.
