Imagine diving into a stainless steel pool, nestled in a century-old vault, at the heart of a beautifully reimagined Art Deco building. This unique spot has opened its doors right in the center of Lille, promising a one-of-a-kind experience filled with history, luxury, and delightful taste adventures.

An Audaciously Revived Art Deco Treasure

The former headquarters of the Scalbert Dupont bank, an iconic building constructed in 1929, has been beautifully transformed to welcome a 4-star hotel with authentic character. Listed as remarkable heritage, this building is the perfect setting to blend the past and modernity, with a touch of boldness and a whole lot of charm.

The highlight of the show: an exceptional pool in the former vault

One wouldn't expect to find this right in the city center: a stainless steel pool, nestled in the restored vault, where light dances with the arches, creating a magical atmosphere. The perfect place to unwind outside of time, in a setting that is both historic and surprisingly contemporary.

A magnificent bar beneath an impressive glass roof

The hotel bar, a true masterpiece, welcomes its guests under a monumental bottle-shaped glass roof. This is where the mixologists take center stage, crafting cocktails with spicy flavors that perfectly complement the shared plates. And believe me, I've tried it all: from rosemary-flamed bone marrow (a guaranteed show-stopper) to drum fish ceviche or homemade salmon gravlax, it's a flawless treat for the palate.

A seasonal kitchen that embraces sharing and discovery

What I particularly enjoyed was the delicacy on the plates and the harmony with the cocktails. From vitello tonato with tangy capers to a reimagined hummus with buckwheat chips (a clever nod to Brittany), each bite invites indulgence and camaraderie. The lunch special at €21 (dish & gourmet coffee) is a delightful surprise, perfect for treating yourself to a refined moment without breaking the bank.

An engaged hotel looking towards tomorrow

First low-carbon hotel in the metropolis, this place proves that we can blend respect for heritage, modern comfort, and environmental responsibility. A wonderful promise for a meaningful stay.
