Bordered by the Quai du Wault, halfway between Old Lille and the Vauban citadel, this fine address occupies one of the city's most emblematic sites - the former Convent des Minimes, built in the 17th century and now a listed historic monument. Here, you can enjoy the rare privilege of staying in the former cloister, now home to l'Échiquier, a magnificent bar suspended below the glass roof and dedicated to champagne, and the restaurant Le Jardin du Cloître, which offers a revisited version of local cuisine. Just as spectacular, the 83 rooms and suites are arranged around the building's former passageways, providing the perfect cosy, contemporary retreat.
