Sip, Savor & Stay
A Guest-Only Experience
Welcome to our atmospheric Malachite Bar, the perfect place to enjoy at any time of day. Open daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, we look forward to welcoming you for a delicious morning coffee, a celebratory glass of champagne, or a sophisticated cocktail to end the evening.
Our carefully curated drinks menu offers an extensive selection of wines, expertly crafted cocktails, exclusive champagnes, refined spirits, and refreshing non-alcoholic alternatives. Something special for every moment and every taste. But what truly makes the Malachite Bar unique is its exceptional location on the picturesque Bruges canals. Take a seat on our terrace—undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Bruges—and enjoy your drink as the boats glide peacefully by and the city lights reflect softly in the water.
An Idyllic Waterside Location
At Hotel Van Cleef, our location is so much more than just a luxury. Tucked away in the historic heart of Bruges, our hotel is situated on one of the city’s oldest and most enchanting canals. Once the lifeblood of medieval Bruges, these waterways now provide a picturesque backdrop steeped in history and romance.
Our idyllic waterside terrace invites you to relax and enjoy in peace. From a generous breakfast in the morning sun to a sophisticated Afternoon Tea or a refreshing cocktail at sunset. As the boats glide peacefully by, the charm of Bruges unfolds before your eyes.
As the only hotel in Bruges, Hotel Van Cleef features its own private jetty. Upon request, we are happy to organize an exclusive 35-minute boat tour past centuries-old bridges and historic facades—a unique way to discover Bruges from a different perspective.
