Clarance Hotel

Located in the heart of historic Vieux Lille, Clarance Hotel is a refined 5-star Relais & Châteaux boutique property. Housed in a magnificent private mansion built in 1736 for the Countess d’Hespel, this architectural gem seamlessly blends 18th-century classical elegance with bold, contemporary design. It offers a distinguished, timeless atmosphere for travelers seeking a singular and deeply memorable experience.

Clarance stands out for its culture of excellence and tailored hospitality. The hotel features a magnificent garden used as an outdoor terrace and an indoor bar, offering a peaceful haven away from the city noise. The property is fully accessible to guests with reduced mobility. Pets are welcome in the hotel rooms.

 The hotel features 27 unique rooms and suites, each individually styled to combine historic authenticity with modern comfort.

For ultimate luxury, the 77 sqm Clarance Suite on the third floor offers a private staircase, loft-like layout, a master bedroom with dressing room, a bathroom with balneotherapy and Italian shower, and exceptional views over the rooftops of Vieux Lille.

The hotel’s gourmet restaurant, La Table, celebrates the richness of the local region with a modern twist. Under the direction of Chef Gaëtan Citerne, the kitchen offers generous, authentic, and seasonal dishes showcasing fine French ingredients enhanced with fresh herbs. Guests can enjoy their meals in rooms decorated with historic woodwork, in the intimate library, or out on the terrace.

Situated on Rue de la Barre, the hotel sits just steps away from the Grand'Place, the Opera, the Citadel, and Vieux Lille's premier shopping and cultural venues.
