Late September and the beginning of October is the time where the fashion world is at its best: it's the fashion month, where Spring/Summer collections for the following year are showcased to the world. 

The Fashion Week in Lisbon takes place on the 9th - 11th October, so what time better than this to suggest you some of the hottest, trendiest places in Lisbon? 

Trendiest Hotels in Lisbon

Hotel Avenida Palace is not a recent hotel but its elegance and luxury makes it one of the best places to stay in Lisbon. Located in the centre, close to the Bairro Alto and Chiado, two of the hottest neighbourhoods in Lisbon for nightlife and shopping, Hotel Avenida Palace is a landmark where tradition combines with innovation.

Bairro Alto Hotel, as its name indicates, is located in the bohemian Bairro Alto and near the chic, cultural and trendy Chiado. Its many awards make it a top choice when it comes to selecting an hotel in Lisbon. Representing a fusion between new and old, this luxury hotel's decoration was influenced by the different Portuguese architectural styles over the eras, including exotic details from its former colonies, combined at the same time with contemporary materials from other countries.

On the top floor of Bairro Alto Hotel you'll find the BA Terrace, awarded as the 4th best hotel-terrace view in the world, visited and enjoyed by both tourists and locals for an afternoon drink.

The Myriad by SANA is a modern luxury hotel near the Tagus in the business district of the city - Parque das Nações. With a contemporary and futuristic design, its rooms combine luxury with comfort. Here, you can book different spa packages, where you can enjoy invigorating treatments with a panoramic view of Parque das Nações. At the end of the day or in the evening, guests and fashionable locals gather on the trendy cocktail bar for a relaxing drink.

If you're looking for a more relaxing stay, just a few minutes outside the city centre, you will find The Oitavos. The hotel design aims to embrace nature, with sleek lines and elegantly simple interiors, making it a sophisticated retreat by the sea, perfect for a few days of complete relaxation after the buzz of the fashion weekend. 

Hottest Restaurants and Bars in Lisbon

Eleven Restaurant is not new, but its Michelin-Star chef makes it a must-visit restaurant for everyone visiting Lisbon. Joachim Korper, famous and strongly awarded chef, is the head of this restaurant, designing different menus based in the true Portuguese flavours and ingredients, with a contemporary touch, complemented by a very complete and competently selected wine list.

The Restaurant at the Myriad, River Lounge, offers unrivalled views of the River and is a theatre of flavours, offering different experiences for the whole day: it is the perfect restaurant for a business lunch, an informal dinner, a cocktail with friends in the end of the day or a comforting tea. For cigar lovers, the Cigar Lounge offers an eclectic choice of cigars and cigarillos.

In the city centre, by famous wine producer José Maria da Fonseca, a new wine bar was born. By The Wine is a trendy wine bar in Lisbon's downtown and close to most of the city's main attractions. Here you can taste the José Maria da Fonseca wines by the glass, taste regional products and engage with the locals that gather late in the evening for a drink or a chat with a friend.

While in Lisbon, you can also enjoy a real experience at a wine estate and taste the best Portuguese wines in loco. Just take a 30-minute ride and visit the famous vineyards and wineries near Lisbon.
