66, rue Littré, 59000 Lille
At dawn, you step through the door of the Brit Hotel Lille Centre, the soft light already illuminating the blonde wood counter.
The first impression is one of reassuring calm, almost hushed. The library corner, placed near the bar, offers a selection of novels while you finalize your check-in. Every smile from the staff confirms the friendly atmosphere that was promised.
Located in the lively Wazemmes district, the establishment is twenty meters from the Gambetta metro station and five minutes by train from the Lille-Flandres and Lille-Europe stations. This makes it easy to reach the shops of the Grand Place, the business center offices, and the exhibition halls. However, the street remains quiet in the evening, benefiting from reduced traffic. From the hotel, the Maison Folie is just three hundred meters away and the Palais des Beaux-Arts one kilometer away, making it a short walk. This address offers you a balance between urban vibrancy and nighttime rest.
The reception remains open until 11 p.m. on weekdays, 10 p.m. on weekends, and a self-service kiosk is available beyond those hours.
The fifty-four rooms, ranging from 12 to 24 m², are available as single, double, twin, superior, triple, PMR, or adjoining. All are accessible by elevator, a welcome detail after a day of sightseeing or meetings. You can choose the setup that suits your stay.
The high-quality bedding ensures a deep sleep, supported by effective soundproofing. Each room is equipped with fiber Wi-Fi, a spacious desk for your work, a flat-screen TV, and a smart closet safe to organize your belongings. The bathroom, bathed in light, features a walk-in shower and complimentary toiletries with light fragrances; a hairdryer is available upon request. The understated tones enhanced by touches of charcoal blue lend the space a simple elegance, conducive to relaxation. Room service ensures discreet attention, promptly replenishing linens and amenities.
In the morning, no hallway noise disturbs your scheduled wake-up.
The breakfast buffet, served from 7 a.m. on weekdays, offers crisp pastries, aged cheeses, and fresh fruit. You can assemble your tray to suit your sweet or savory cravings. Hours extend until 10:30 a.m. on holidays to allow for a well-earned sleep-in.
In the evening, from Monday to Thursday, the restaurant features a short menu dominated by seasonal produce. Groups can enjoy dedicated menus, served plated to maintain the flow of your discussions. The bar area then invites you for a final drink, while a few upholstered armchairs encourage you to browse the day’s newspapers. The team can also combine dinner and accommodation in a soirée étape package, appreciated by business travelers. This offer balances speed and comfort without sacrificing meal quality.
Additionally, a vending machine provides snacks and drinks for when hunger strikes outside of restaurant hours.
For your vehicle, a covered and secure parking lot is available at a preferential rate, with bike stands for two-wheel enthusiasts. Public transport, however, remains the fastest option to navigate Lille during rush hours. This allows you to travel light, without worrying about parking.
Families benefit from a complimentary crib set up before arrival, simply by mentioning it when booking. Your four-legged companions are also welcome for a small additional nightly fee. Payments can be made by holiday vouchers, credit card, or Amex, with the option of a digital invoice for clean recordkeeping. The luggage storage service allows you to enjoy the city until the last moment before a late train. Every detail is designed to simplify your stay, without fuss, just with efficiency.
And if you’re tempted by a show ticket, the reception can make an immediate reservation.
The workspace in your room benefits from natural light and an ergonomic chair, convenient for a last-minute report. The fiber speed easily supports video conferences and large file transfers. This way, you can remain productive without leaving your cocoon.
Multilingual, the team knows the neighborhood’s secrets perfectly and willingly shares its cultural recommendations. They offer a ticketing service for museums or events, saving you from tedious queues. Regional newspapers laid out each morning in the lobby help you keep up with local news over an espresso. An elevator serves all floors, making the establishment accessible to everyone. These modest attentions ultimately create an overall smooth experience.
Once your suitcases are dropped off, the exploration of Lille can begin.
The Wazemmes market, bustling on Sunday mornings, is just a two-minute walk away; its colorful stalls mix Greek olives, organic vegetables, and diverse fabrics. Upon exiting, a detour to the Maison Folie, a former rehabilitated spinning mill, exposes you to often bold contemporary exhibitions. The rhythms of impromptu brass bands sometimes mingle with the scents of street food, offering an immediate immersion into the city’s popular soul. If you prefer serenity, head down Rue des Sarrazins toward Place Casquette to browse among independent bookstores. The Brit Hotel Lille Centre remains your landmark, visible at the corner of the street, ready to welcome you back when fatigue sets in.
The Palais des Beaux-Arts, one kilometer away, impresses with its collection of Flemish paintings and Napoleonic relief maps. Allow two hours to stroll through its galleries at leisure. The City Pass available at the hotel even reduces your entry fee.
Looking for a getaway outside the center? Take the tram to Roubaix and discover La Piscine, a museum of art and industry housed in a former Art Deco swimming pool, an astonishing blend of sculptures and preserved changing rooms. On your return, the Grand Palais regularly hosts trade shows and concerts; the reception can check the evening’s schedule. For a gentler stroll, cross Jean-Baptiste Lebas Park to the ramparts of the citadel designed by Vauban, then follow the canals by electric boat. The Old Stock Exchange, with its second-hand booksellers under the square courtyard, ideally completes the day. Every location is easily accessible from Gambetta, leaving your car at rest.
When it’s time to close your room door, you realize that everything has been made simple for you; all that remains is to confirm your reservation.
