The Nouveau Siècle: Between Heritage and Modernity

It contrasts and dialogues with the classical buildings of the city center, such as the Lille Opera or the Old Stock Exchange. Attending an event here also means enjoying a culturally rich environment, with the chance to stroll nearby alleys, discover the Place du Général de Gaulle, or savor local specialties at the many nearby restaurants.

- A quiet and soothing atmosphere, ideal for relaxing after a show or busy event.
- An easily accessible ground floor room if needed.
