About us, Griet & Maarten
A small-scale way of hosting, with care for peace, history and conscious choices
B&B Royal Swans has grown step by step from our passion for history and a way of working that is conscious and thoughtful.
During the renovation, we tried to give as many materials as possible a second life. Old doors, elements with a story, and things that might otherwise have been lost were given a new place here. What we could not use ourselves, we passed on.
That way of thinking is not only part of the house, but also part of how we work today.
We enjoy welcoming people and getting to know them, each with their own story and background.
Travelling, different cultures and meaningful encounters — and from time to time a tango on the dance floor — have inspired us for many years. Tango has long been part of our lives, and Bruges offers beautiful places and moments to dance too. Discover our tango tips and tango stays in Bruges →
It matters to us that this feels like a place where you can quickly feel at ease, without any expectations or pressure.
Just arrive, slow down, and follow your own rhythm.

We love Bruges for what it is: of course for its rich history and well-known places, but also for the quieter corners of the city, where the pace naturally slows down.
Those are exactly the places we love to share — small streets, green edges around the city, and moments when Bruges feels completely different.
“We welcome guests the way we ourselves like to be welcomed:
warmly, personally, and without pressure.”
A stay at B&B Royal Swans often begins with a feeling that simply feels right.
Take your time, have a look around, and discover which room feels right for you.
