Photo shoot
Clarance Hotel
Photography
Clarance. Old Lille.
An 18th-century mansion, a Relais & Châteaux, hidden in the cobbled streets of Old Lille. No neon sign. No spectacular lobby. Just a door, and behind it, something rare.
The intimacy of a private home with the standards of a palace. Textures, colour and bold choices in every room.

Hotel photographer in Lille: the Clarance, Relais & Châteaux
In Old Lille, the Clarance occupies an 18th-century mansion and is part of Relais & Châteaux. No neon sign and no grand lobby: the experience rests on the intimacy of a private home and on very distinctive décor choices, room by room. The hotel is also home to the restaurant La Table and the bar La Barre.
For a hotel of this calibre, the photos have to make the difference clear before booking, against larger properties that rely on their facilities. It’s the textures, the colours and the atmosphere that sell.
What this shoot brings to the hotel
Around forty images covering the hotel from the front door to the suite: the white façade, the Relais & Châteaux plaque, the entrance and its yellow rose bush, the wrought-iron staircase under the crystal chandelier, the lounges, the marble fireplaces. In the rooms: the view of the cathedral, the balcony over Old Lille, the hanging rattan chair, the bubble bath, breakfast in bed. Scenes with an apricot poodle bring the lifestyle tone expected on Instagram, and the kitchen images link the hotel to its restaurant, La Table.
