Place De La Gare, 59000 Lille
The hotel Le Napoléon invites you to discover a stay experience that is both simple, warm, and perfectly located. Right in the city center, in a 19th-century building passed down from generation to generation, this family-run establishment blends authenticity and comfort with finesse. You will find a welcoming atmosphere, well-thought-out spaces, and everything you need to fully enjoy your visit to the capital of Flanders.
The 19 rooms offer varied configurations adapted to your needs: whether you are traveling alone, as a duo, or with colleagues. Single, double, superior, or twin rooms, each category has been carefully arranged to provide you with peaceful sleep and a soothing setting. The bedding is comfortable, the bathrooms functional, and all rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV, a safe, and free Wi-Fi access.
In the superior rooms, you will enjoy slightly more generous spaces and, depending on the case, a bathtub or a large shower. The chosen colors are soft, the equipment discreet but designed to meet the expectations of a restful stay. A room accessible to people with reduced mobility is also available, ensuring an adapted welcome.
If you pay attention to ambiance, you will appreciate the elegant simplicity that emanates from the whole. Nothing is overdone here; everything is human-sized. Hotel Le Napoléon retains the spirit of a lively place, at the crossroads of travelers, neighborhood regulars, and curious visitors coming to taste regional specialties in its restaurant.
Indeed, you will have the opportunity to discover a traditional brasserie, open daily from 11 am to 10 pm. Welsh, Flemish carbonnade, or homemade daily specials are served in a friendly atmosphere. Whether you choose the ground-floor dining room, the terrace, or the more intimate upstairs room, the setting remains warm and conducive to good times.
The bar, on the other hand, welcomes you from 6 am to midnight. It is a lively place, accessible both for an early morning coffee and a last drink in the evening. Upstairs, a board game area has been set up: a detail that perfectly reflects the relaxed and open spirit of the place, where time can be enjoyed at your own pace.
Every morning, a continental breakfast is served between 6 am and 11 am. If you prefer to have it in your room, just request it the day before. Once again, the flexibility of service helps make you feel at ease, without rigid schedules or unnecessary constraints.
The location of the hotel is one of its main assets. From Le Napoléon, you are literally a stone's throw from Lille-Flandres and Lille-Europe train stations. Whether you arrive by train or want to quickly get around the city, everything is accessible on foot or by public transportation. The Euralille shopping center, the Grand Palais, Vieux-Lille, or the shopping streets are just a few minutes away on foot.
If you're coming by car, note that a public parking lot is just 200 meters away. The quick access to Lille's ring road also allows you to reach major routes effortlessly. This accessibility is particularly appreciated for short stays as well as business trips.
The overall ambiance of the establishment is based on sincere simplicity. There is neither ostentation nor rigid design here, but a genuine desire to welcome you with consistency, efficiency, and kindness. The team strives to make your stay smooth, in a relaxed atmosphere suitable for solo travelers, couples, or business professionals.
This human-sized format promotes a certain tranquility. You are free to move between your room, the restaurant, or the lively surroundings of the neighborhood, without ever having to cover excessive distances. The sense of proximity, in the broadest sense, is part of the experience.
From the hotel, you can walk to the cobbled streets of Vieux-Lille. Let yourself be guided by the colorful facades, independent bookstores, or art galleries set up in former warehouses. The Place aux Oignons, Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille Cathedral, or Rue de la Monnaie offer delightful discoveries.
If you are a culture enthusiast, don't miss the Palais des Beaux-Arts. This museum is among France's richest outside of Paris, with a remarkable collection of paintings, sculptures, and relief maps. Accessible within about 15 minutes on foot, it is well worth a visit.
For a more contemporary approach, the Tripostal or Gare Saint-Sauveur offer an eclectic program mixing exhibitions, shows, and art installations. These dynamic cultural venues are often at the heart of the city's major events, such as Lille3000.
And to take a break in a more natural setting, the citadel gardens or the banks of the Deûle offer peaceful escapes just a few metro stations or minutes away on foot. In good weather, these spaces are highly appreciated by walkers and locals alike.
By staying at Hotel Le Napoléon, you thus enjoy a comfortable, well-located, and welcoming base to explore Lille at your own pace. The overall experience provides a balanced combination of accessibility, authenticity, and friendliness, without pretension but with a genuine sense of hospitality. You’ll feel good here, quite simply.
