Lille offers a wide range of accommodation from a 15th-century converted hospice to reliable chain hotels at the train stations. Prices are generally lower than Paris, typically €70-200 per night depending on season and category, but spike dramatically during the Braderie de Lille (first weekend of September) and the Christmas Market. Booking 2-3 months ahead secures the best rates. For an overview of each area’s character and who it suits, see the Lille neighborhoods guide.
Vieux-Lille Hotels
Vieux-Lille delivers the most atmospheric stay in the city, with boutique hotels occupying 17th-century Flemish buildings on cobblestone streets. You pay a premium for the location, but stepping out of your hotel into the prettiest part of Lille is worth it for short stays. Expect to pay €130-250 per night. The area is quiet at night despite the wine bars, noise is rarely an issue.
