Brugge car firendly hotel recomendations
Discussion
Park Hotel has a car park underneath.
TBH there is a very very good public car park - it's the one you get into in the underpass and is basically underneath the big square with the statues in it so about as central as you need. It's massive, very clean, new and well lit and the spaces are a decent size and if you are exceptionally picky about your car park spaces there are plenty of them that are on their own or on ends of rows so avoiding door dings.
I usually get one like this...
This is Brugge so you aren't going to be getting your car broken into. I don't have any issues leaving a car in it and as you can see (the SL is a pretty fat car) they're a generous size.

Stayed in the Novotel Brugge Centrum, it has a public car park next to it, but it wasn't that expensive.

I swung by there last October in my F430 and loved it. I plan to visit there a few time this year for long weekends etc.
I to have been looking for "car friendly" hotels, the main issue is most of the car parks are underground and from experience they have steep ramps and are very narrow.
I look on trip adviser and they always moan about the tight underground car parks!
I did park outside Flanders Hotel and they look like they had good parking, just down the road from the square also Relais Bourgondisch is nice but pricey but they do have good parking.

Going tomorrow - but in the boring car unfortunately, Will report back on driving/parking if you like, but it seems a few hotels do have the parking, and there are about 5 underground car parks. So should find somewhere to drop the car.
If we like the look of the place we too will head out there for a weekend in one of the TVR's so will have an eagle eye out for 'friendliness' there too.

Thanks for the replies guys. A few to look into.

That would be ideal. Thanks.If we like the look of the place we too will head out there for a weekend in one of the TVR's so will have an eagle eye out for 'friendliness' there too.
What a great place! Loved it.
Driving is a piece of cake although the roads are cobbled I'd have no issues in taking either of the TVR's (and with the Cerbera at 120db at 3k revs the narrow streets and high buildings are a temptation
).
We parked at an underground car park called Biekorf it was 1.40 Euro an hour with I think 8 Euro max for 24 hours. There are 5 car parks like that in all.
Be a great idea to do the tour on a Segway, we went to book but the guy said it was just too cold, temp was about freezing with a wind chill of about -7.
About 1.5 hours form Calais taking it easy, people are very friendly, it's just a lovely place to be, we will be going back as soon as the weather warms.
Any questions feel free to ask

And the road between Calais and Brugge is super smooth and lovely. We saw a British registered Tuscan 2 doing just that.We will also do the same, probably in the Cerb as roof down in the Chimaera all the way there might get a tad blustery.
Although if in no rush, the coast road beckons! 
Try the Bonobo ApartHotel.
It's a bugger to find first time (especially in the dark) but the owner (Hans) came and collected me to show me the way.
It has its own gated car park with more than enough space.
Nice hotel too, good central location. It gets good reviews on TripAdvisor.
As mentioned earlier in the thread the Crowne Plaza has its own underground car park but the hotel will be about 3x more expensive than the Bonobo.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Mark for the info. How steep were the ramps into the car parks ?? thinking of ground clearance Driving is a piece of cake although the roads are cobbled I'd have no issues in taking either of the TVR's (and with the Cerbera at 120db at 3k revs the narrow streets and high buildings are a temptation

We only used one car park, and were in the Audi so lots of room. Having said that I don't remember it being steep and would have no worries taking a TVR down or up, I'm sure you'd be fine in a Ferrari.PH Trip abroad anyone!

We only went to Brugges in December because you started a thread about Christmas Markets back in October.PH Trip abroad anyone!
We had a fab time in Brugges, loved it, so much so that we're going back and taking my mum. Last time I drove her anywhere was in my C43 estate, she spent most of the journey screaming so I guess I'll be passenger in her Jazz. Humpf.

I know I said it was about 1.5 hours from Calais, but if you are going in the Jazz you might want to think about setting off soon

Especially with my mum driving...now it if my dad in his auto Jazz it would be different, he'd manage it in under an hour, the bloody loon!I know I said it was about 1.5 hours from Calais, but if you are going in the Jazz you might want to think about setting off soon
Ref chrimbo markets, we went to Brussels first, massive chrimbo market with the best merry go round you've ever seen, with kids getting in a rocket and going up through the roof as it goes round, massive too, then doubled back to Brugges, you *need* to find the Garre Bar.
