Alpine escape
A chalet in the middle of Lille. Warm wood, lit stone, a crackling fireplace and a sauna built into the brick of the cellar, just for the two of you.
The suite
What you feel
as you walk in.
L’Alpina is a chalet set down in the middle of Lille, with no window or opening to the outside. Once the door is closed, the light, the temperature and the silence are entirely up to you: it could just as well be three in the morning as a Sunday afternoon.
Wood rises from floor to ceiling, the stone is backlit, the fireplace glows non-stop. The sauna was built into the brick of the cellar: it is the room we are proudest of, and the one our guests talk about most.
The translucent bathtub faces the stone wall. The 4K projector shows on a large pull-down screen, with Netflix and YouTube. The bar corner keeps the wine chilled. You let yourself in from 6 pm.

“The place is magnificent, decorated with great taste and spotlessly clean. You feel safe there straight away. The location is ideal: we were just a stone’s throw from the city centre and Lille-Flandres station.”
“A magnificent room in a great location. The only problem is that once you are inside, you never want to leave!”
“Very, very good, just like the photos. A real chalet feel.”
