Know what’s nice about being a bit off the beaten path? It’s quiet (‘cept for the chirping birds who clearly did not get the memo).

Idyllically located only a few steps from the magnificent Grand Place and the restaurants, bars and concept stores of the historic centre.

You’re steps from the tram. Go forth and conquer, fueled by coffee and croissants from the breakfast buffet.

Can you live without free WiFi? Sure. Do you want to? Nope. So they've got it.

Free WiFi keeps us from getting the tech withdrawal shakes.

Warm, attractive accommodations within the Université de Lille's Science City and convenient to both the airport and the city centre.

Steps from oodles of brasseries and breweries. Go forth and conquer. (Then stop for onnnne last drink at the hotel bar before collapsing in your room.)

Boldly designed in the popular interwar Art Deco style, and with a glass-encased bar to boot.

Designer rooms with glassed-in showers are subtly chic.

Throws in a free breakfast, on the house.

Located in the Euralille business & shopping centre, a 10-min drive from the stadium if you’re in town for a match(!).

Sweet location in the charming Flanders region – full of cultural exhibitions, flea markets and fab food.

Just outside of Lille in a quiet part of town, offers convenient access to the city center.

Attractive accommodations surrounded by lovely gardens. The interiors are fresh and modern, the gardens classic French.

Just off the A1, a short drive from the centre, Stade Pierre Mauroy and – you guessed it – the airport (bonus: free shuttle!).

Simple and straightforward, perfect for when you just need to get some shuteye.

Rooms balance cosy & comfortable with modern style.

Old World grandeur on the outside; contemporary-chic style on the inside.

Tranquil grounds include everything from outdoor pool to pétanque and ping pong (assuming you can get yourself out of the hammock).

Right in the charming Old Town, a stone's throw from good eats & must-sees.

Venturing’s easy ‘cos you’re just off the A1 with easy access to the Lille Airport & Seclin SNCF station.

History? We'll take some. Béthune's historic town centre is a short drive.

Just a 2-min walk from the station, and only 5 into the colourfully Baroque-charmed city centre.

Like Flemish Baroque style? We knew it! Go check out the homes and squares of nearby World Heritage Sites.
