A shoppers dream on your doorstep
Having undergone extensive refurbishment in 2004, the modern Lille Europe is part of the large Euralille shopping complex, only a stone's throw from the Eurostar terminal. A 10 minute walk will bring you into the historic heart of the city and the picturesque Place de Gaulle with its Opera House, old Bourse and colourful street cafés. Old Lille with its antique shops and wide range of bars and restaurants is also within easy reach.

A small ground floor reception leads up to a comfortable seating area and a panoramic breakfast room on the first floor, overlooking the busy street scene below. The 97 comfortable bedrooms are in a simple, contemporary style and are located on 7 floors.

Under conscientious management, the Lille Europe provides value-for-money, friendly service and a very reasonable standard of accommodation for a 2 star hotel.

Modern, good value in Old Lille

Situated in a quiet location in a residential part of historic 'Old Lille' and just a short walk to Place de Gaulle (the picturesque main square) the hotel is an ideal base for exploring the city. You will also certainly be spoilt for choice of local restaurants and bistros in the area.

The 64 contemporary-style bedrooms are comfortable and many sleep up to 3 or 4 people making them a good choice for families. There is a friendly bar and a bright breakfast room, where a buffet-breakfast is served. This leads out to an inner courtyard terrace, which with its tables and colourful umbrellas is a very pleasant place to sit and relax in the summer months.

There are 121 spacious rooms and suites, each with panoramic views over the city, smart contemporary furnishings and all the amenities one would expect from a modern 4 star. The attractive bathrooms have etched-glass walls, quality toiletries and even your very own bathrobe to complete your relaxation.

On the ground floor you will find a comfortable lounge bar and a restaurant, serving a buffet or an a la carte menu for both lunch and dinner - on Sundays why not have a well-deserved lie-in and book the generous Sunday Brunch.

The place to stay in Lille
Situated in the very centre of Lille, overlooking the main square - the Carlton is the place to stay. An elegant entrance leads to a comfortable lobby and the intimate English-styled Saint James bar.

There are 60 spacious rooms and suites, each traditionally furnished with quality fabrics and marble bathrooms. The suites have an additional lounge area and, if you count yourself in the company of Messrs Clinton and Mitterrand or Sir Paul McCartney, there is a very exclusive luxury duplex suite high up in the hotel's dome. This truly out-of-this-world accommodation has a lounge, private dining area with panoramic views, a spiral staircase leading to a secluded bedroom in the 'coupole' itself, complete with its own open-plan bathroom and Jacuzzi!

As with its nearby sister hotel, Le Walt, an uncluttered modern design has been combined with a good eye for detail and colour to create a sophisticated but welcoming atmosphere. There is a summer-terrace and a chic bar with comfortable seating areas and a 'library', where an open-fire invites you to sit and relax on colder nights.

Individual paintings by contemporary local artists adorn the walls of the 36 comfortable bedrooms - all of which have smart contemporary furnishings and the latest amenities.

Paris
Boutique with original artworks
Located on one of the city's most prestigious avenues with the grand École Militaire, next door, Le Walt is a newly built boutique hotel in an up-market district close to the Eiffel Tower.

Simple lines and modern design create a very stylish yet intimate ambiance, with an elegant cocktail bar and a private interior garden, where drinks or breakfast can be taken in the fine weather. The contemporary theme of the décor is continued throughout the 25 bedrooms, where original art-works and ultra-modern bathrooms complement custom-made furniture and parquet flooring.

The fashionable boutiques and cafés of Saint-Germain-des Prés are within walking distance and the local metro will speed you directly to Place de la Concorde, Madeleine and the Opera.

We recommend both Le Walt and its sister hotel, Le Marquis for their understated sophistication.
