Just 30 minutes from Lille, the Hôtel Louvre-Lens is the natural choice for your corporate seminars, events and meetings. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city centre but close to the metropolis, this 4-star establishment, housed in a former UNESCO-listed mining village, offers what Lille cannot: a complete change of scenery, unique heritage and exclusive experiences, all without the hassle of travelling.

Opposite the Louvre-Lens Museum, 5 minutes from the Bollaert Stadium and in the heart of an authentic region, the hotel transforms your meetings into truly memorable events. With 52 rooms, 3 modular rooms and packages starting at €250, everything has been designed for Lille-based companies seeking efficiency and originality.

The limitations of the city centre for organising seminars

Organising a seminar in the centre of Lille presents constraints that companies in the city are well aware of.

The challenges facing Lille city centre:

• Complex and costly parking for participants
• Noisy urban environment not conducive to concentration
• Hotel rates are often high
• Participants spread between hotel and seminar venue
• Standardised team building activity packages
• Difficulty in truly disconnecting from everyday life

What Lens has to offer

The Louvre-Lens Hotel resolves these issues while maintaining proximity to Lille.

The concrete advantages:

Simplified logistics:

• Unlimited free parking (compared to €20-30/day in Lille city centre)
• Everything in one place: meetings, catering, accommodation
• No travel between locations
• No stress from traffic or delays

Immediate change of scenery:

• Radical change of scenery in 30 minutes
• Authentic architecture steeped in history
• Absolute tranquillity conducive to work
• Your teams really step outside their daily routine

Impossible experiences in Lille:

• Conference with Yoann Lachor (RC Lens)
• Dinner at the Stade Bollaert
• Tour of the Louvre-Lens reserves
• Immersion in UNESCO mining heritage

Value for money:

• Packages starting at €250, all inclusive
• More competitive rates than in central Lille
• 4-star services included
• Best return on investment

30 minutes that change everything

The proximity to Lille is ideal: close enough to be convenient, far enough away to provide a real break.

Access from Lille:

• 30 minutes by car (A1/A25)
• 35 minutes by train (regular service)
• Shuttle buses available on request
• As easily accessible as the outskirts of Lille

For your participants:

An employee based at Euratechnologies or Lille-Centre takes the same amount of time to reach Lens as it does to get to a seminar room on the outskirts of Lille (Villeneuve d'Ascq, Lesquin). But the experience is completely different.

The authenticity of an old mining village

The Hôtel Louvre-Lens occupies a former complex of workers' houses that have been respectfully renovated. This architecture bears witness to the industrial past of the Hauts-de-France region, creating a meaningful setting for your events.

What makes the difference:

• Authentic preserved materials (brick, black stone, oak)
• Flooring from old mining railways
• Le Galibot pewter bar, typical of the region
• Modern 4-star comfort in a historic setting
• Unique atmosphere impossible to replicate

The spirit of the place:

Friendliness, sharing, human warmth: the values of the North region are naturally embodied in the hotel's welcome and atmosphere. Your Lille employees will feel at home here while discovering a different side to their region.
