About Novotel
Novotel was the first hotel the company built, opening beside Lille airport in 1967, and the group grew from it. Its rooms are designed to a single specification that accommodates families without a separate family room type. Accor owns it, and the airport location of the first hotel set the pattern for a chain built around transport hubs and business parks rather than city centres.
