HOTEL HERMITAGIE GANTOIS - Lille
The Gantois project was build in the fifteenth century for old and sick women, by Jean de la Cambe,
a well-settled man. He called himself Jean Gantois, as his family lived in Gent, and in 1460 he
founded the Gantois Hospital. Several donations made the hospital a remarkable and well-known
place in Lille. In 1989 men were allowed in the Hospice. In 1995 the Hospice closed his doors after
535 years of good and loyal services.
In November 2001 the restoration begun. The Court Central is the main place of the Hotel Hermitage
Gantois, which is covered by a transparent roof and where the lounge is situated. The Hotel
Hermitage Gantois is located in the heart of the old city of Lille and has a capacity of 67 rooms.
The rooms of the former sisters, where restored and transformed into 5 romantic rooms and a suite.
Jean-Marc Vynckier, a French interior architect, was responsible for the interior of the building. Due
to a perfect collaboration between Modular and Mr. Vynckier, every place has his own characteristic
lighting. Light has become part of the historical building. Baseline, Halfpipe, 2Flat2C, LotisAR111,
SL149, Grannos, Lumiflat and Intro are the most important fixtures used in this project.
Fractal built the night desks and table for the rooms.
