The Rezidor Hotel Group has opened the 127-room Park Inn by Radisson Lille Grand Stade in France.

The chic and colourful mid-market property is located in the city of Villeneuve D’Ascq (nicknamed “green technopole” thanks to the implantation of many researchers) and adjacent to one of Europe’s most high tech football venues, the Grand Stade Lille Métropole that will host the LOSC Lille Metropole football club, major events & conferences, and the 2016 UEFA European Football Championship.

“We are delighted to bring our dynamic brand Park Inn by Radisson to Lille, Northern France’s most important economic and cultural city.

“The triangle of Belgium, Luxembourg and Northern France is an important cluster zone for Park Inn by Radisson, and we aim to further strengthen our presence in this area,” said Kurt Ritter, president, Rezidor.

The Park Inn by Radisson hotel offers guests unrivalled access to football and rugby matches, concerts and events in the Grand Stade. Nearby companies include Auchan, Bayer, Decathlon, France Telecom, Leroy Merlin, and Petrovox – so the area also hosts major business meetings and conferences.

As part of the Grand Stade Lille Métropole complex, the hotel scores with excellent transportation links and great connectivity.

Train stations serving Thalys and Eurostar are easily accessible, and the airport is less than 10 kilometres away.
