Balinese escape
A Balinese escape in the heart of Lille. A cocoon lit by a skylight, where the bathtub faces the bed and the sauna awaits you.
The suite
What you feel
as you walk in.
La Penida has no window or direct opening to the outside. Daylight drifts in gently through a skylight, and that is your only link to the world outside: you are transported into a Balinese atmosphere, cut off from the centre of Lille while being right in it.
Sea-green zellige tiles run along the walls and rattan filters the light. A swing awaits you beneath the plants hanging from the ceiling. The bathtub is not hidden away in the bathroom: it takes pride of place in the middle of the room, facing the king-size bed.
A sauna awaits you inside the suite. To one side, a bar corner with a wine fridge, coffee machine and kettle. Facing the bed, a 4K projector with Netflix and YouTube already connected. Nothing to set up, nothing to ask for.
