Lille
L'Hermitage Gantois
Lille, 59000, France
A white gabled façade with a tall stained-glass window marks the entrance to this unusual boutique hotel,
originally established as a church-run hospice in 1462. Renovated more than five centuries later, the property now blends historic design elements with contemporary touches—think 17th-century tapestries hung beside colorful pop art, and a former courtyard converted into a glass-roofed piano bar. The juxtaposition continues in the 72 guest rooms, which combine antique furniture with Carrara marble bathrooms and Philippe Starck Ghost chairs. The hotel also contains a centuries-old chapel and two dining options: a gourmet French restaurant and a more casual tavern.
Room to Book:
For a quiet stay and memorable views, request a room facing one of the landscaped courtyards.
Insider Tip:
Take time to visit the nearby Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille (Lille Palace of Fine Arts); just a three-minute walk from the hotel, the museum contains works by Rembrandt, El Greco, Rubens, and Rodin.
