Just steps away from the Burg and the Market Square in Bruges lie three historic buildings that have formed a single hotel since 2021. Grand Hotel Casselbergh brings together eighteenth-century grandeur and contemporary comfort across 118 rooms.
Three houses, one destination
The Casselbergh, Zeven Torens and ’t Fransch Schildt buildings were given a new lease of life after an extensive renovation, blending the noble atmosphere of the past with modern-day comfort.
The challenge in a project like this lies in balance. Historic interiors do not tolerate loud interventions, but call for elements that support the past without imitating it. The high ceilings, the views over the canals, the artwork by Desmarets: everything asks for textiles that quietly merge into the overall composition.
The role of textiles
In the rooms, the choice was Bresso, a blackout fabric with a linen look. No coincidence. The 15 percent linen content gives the fabric a tactile softness and subtle irregularity that suits the historic setting. At the same time, it delivers exactly what it needs to: complete blackout for optimal sleep comfort, thermal insulation in both summer and winter, and compliance with the fire safety standards required in the hospitality sector.
It is a textile that does not draw attention and precisely for that reason, does its job.
In a historic interior, textiles should blend in without overpowering. The linen character of the fabric reinforces the authenticity of the space.
Bresso

The combination of technical performance and natural appearance makes this fabric particularly suitable for hospitality projects where aesthetics and functionality go hand in hand.
