Grand Hotel Bellevue
Address: 5, rue Jean Roisin
The luxurious Grand Hotel Bellevue is ideal if you want to be as close as possible to the Christmas markets. Right near Lille’s Christmas tree on Grand Place (sometimes called Place du General de Gaulle), this is one of the most well-known and rated hotels in Lille. The location is not only convenient for the Christmas market but for all the sights in the historic old town and famous locations like Patisserie Meert, Aux Merveilleux de Fred and local Estiminet breweries where you can try some Lillois specialties. The Grand Hotel is one of the few sustainable hotels in Lille as they use 100% renewable energy as their electricity source and they avoid single-use plastics.

Moxy Lille City Centre
Address: 3, Rue Jean Bart, Lille Centre
A very cool design hotel unlike anywhere else you’ll come across in Lille. Unusual, quirky design both in the rooms and the common areas. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. There is a gym, evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk. The absolutely gorgeous historic building is a bonus. This hotel isn’t quite as near to the Christmas markets as other Lille hotels but the location if perfect for visiting other sights including the Palais des Beaux-Arts, the Natural History Museum, Porte de Paris and Lille Belfy. Staying here gives you easy access to some of Lille’s most prestigious cultural sights and the famous Wazemmes open market. If you are interested in Art Nouveau architecture, the Moxy is down the road from Maison Coilliot (14 Rue de Fleurus), an incredible building by famous architect Hector Guimard.

Au 30
Address: 30 rue Paul Duez, Lille Centre
If you would like more space than you typically get in a hotel room, the apartments at Au 30 are exceptional. Modern and extremely clean with high-quality fixtures and fittings. The incredible attention to detail by the host makes all the difference. Each apartment is unique so you could be surprised when you arrive. The only downside is that this place is not near the Christmas markets, it is located near the train station, approximately 1 km from Place Rihour which will take you 15 minutes or so if you’re walking. So it’s not that far but it could be inconvenient if the winter weather is poor.

Lille is located in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France, not far from the Belgian border. If you would like to extend your December holiday, you might wish to add a trip to Brussels, Ghent or Bruges or continue south to Strasbourg, another great Christmas city in France.
