Hilton has announced plans to open its first property in the city of Lille. Occupying a prime location in the city centre, the 124-guest-room Hilton Lille will continue to welcome guests and trade as a Hilton affiliated hotel before fully rebranding under Hilton Hotels & Resorts in 2024, following a multimillion-euro renovation.

Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Hilton, said, “Hilton’s portfolio in France is on a steep growth trajectory, and we now have more than 45 hotels trading or under development. This growth is fuelled by demand for our brands, allowing us to develop our portfolio of properties in a number of important destinations. Lille is a thriving market, and Hilton Lille will be an exciting arrival when it welcomes guests next year.”

Hilton Lille will offer stylish, upscale accommodation in the heart of Lille, appealing to both business and leisure travellers. Features will include Europa, the hotel’s restaurant complete with mezzanine seating area, the COOPER bar serving a range of refreshments, and a fully-equipped fitness centre. Investment in the hotel will also see the addition of a new executive lounge area with complimentary food and refreshments. Hilton Lille will also boast 360 square meters of meeting space set across seven meeting rooms, ideal for events, conferences and social engagements.
