Wazemmes district

The historical centre of Lille
From your hotel in Lille, you are only a few steps away from the emblematic district of Vieux Lille, the historical centre of the city. With more than 1,000 years of history, this area in the north of Lille is home to some of the city's oldest houses and historic buildings, such as the Vieille Bourse, the Halle aux Sucres and the Hôtel Notre-Dame. It is one of the main tourist attractions for which travellers come on holiday to Lille.

Near Lille
If you have the opportunity to visit Lille and its surroundings, there are many wonders to discover near your hotel in Lille! Less than an hour away, discover the city of Tournai, one of the oldest Gallo-Roman cities in Belgium. Known as the city of five bell towers, Tournai proudly displays its thousand-year-old history through its famous belfry, its fortifications and its remarkably well-preserved historic city centre.
While you're in Belgium, take the adventure a step further and head to Ghent, the capital of Flanders. Here again, you will be amazed by the historical and cultural wealth of one of Belgium's most important tourist centres!
