A 15th-century former convent, Martin's Orangerie Hotel is a cozy luxury inn set on a scenic canal in the historic center of Bruges, Belgium. The structure that now houses Martin's Orangerie was once a convent. Some 500 years later, the building is just as beautiful, but it's now home to indulgences that would simultaneously make a nun blush and make its guests very happy.

With only 20 rooms, the inn is intimate and serene, and each patron receives an old-world level of personal attention. Each guest room is uniquely furnished and designed, all the way down to the artistic sketching on the wall, and has elegant touches such as silk-lined curtains, marble bathrooms, and wireless internet and DVD players.

Martin's Orangerie Hotel has an enviable location in the middle of Bruges' historic center, on the lovely Den Dijver canal. The champagne breakfast on the canal-side terrace is a particularly pleasant way to start your day's adventure. And if you end your evening tucked away in your elegantly appointed room engaged in romantic dalliance? Well, the nuns will never know.
