The 9 Best Lisbon Hotels For Endless Partying
Want to party like a local in Lisbon? Be prepared for some late nights. There's always a party going down in this European hot spot, but things don't get going until after midnight. Luckily, you can cat-nap in style at these hotels, and staff won't bat an eyelid if you stagger in at dawn. These are the best hotels in Lisbon for partiers.
Memmo Principe Real
Why it made the list
Principe Real is renowned for its luxury shopping, its lively gay scene, and its characterful bars, and luxurious Memmo Principe Real is a classy base for exploring all that it has to offer (if you can tear yourself away from the pool and cocktail bar, that is...). For more down-to-earth partying, it's a 5-minute walk to the bar-lined cobbled streets of Bairro Alto.
Lisboa Tejo Hotel
Why it made the list
Guests at this centrally-located hotel can find nightlife in every direction. Start with a ginginha (cherry liqueur) at a hole-in-the-wall on Rossio square, then wander down to the 'urban beach' at the waterfront or to the rooftop bars of Martim Moniz and Chiado. It's not luxurious, but it has plenty of historic charm and, as an affordable base for partying in Lisbon, it's an excellent choice.
Memmo Alfama
Why it made the list
Forget Fado recitals and respectful silence: It's all about cocktails with a view at this cool, contemporary boutique hotel hidden from the hordes that tread Alfama's tourist-packed alleyways. The street-savvy staff know all the best places to party, and are happy to share their knowledge, and those who wake up early enough can get their bearings on a free walking tour of the area.
Pestana CR7
Why it made the list
You don't need to be a fan of Portuguese soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7 references his shirt number) to enjoy a stay at this modern hotel at the heart of the Baixa. The flashy decor, ultra-modern amenities and location close to downtown nightlife make it a popular choice among smartly-dressed millennials, and the hotel bar is a good place for a cocktail while planning the next stop on the party circuit.
Evolution Lisboa Hotel
Why it made the list
Targeting a young, switched on crowd. Evolution Lisboa has a funky decor and shared spaces that encourage socializing. Happy Hour parties and colorful lounges feel like a particularly upscale hostel, but the smart rooms allow post-party privacy. The 24-hour self-serve cafe caters to those with late-night hunger pangs, and the self check-in/check-out limits the need for social interaction the morning after a night on the tiles of Lisbon.
Hotel Mundial
Why it made the list
The hotel's Rooftop Bar was among those that first sparked Lisbon's ongoing trend for high rise drinking, and Sunset Parties held from April through October gather a lively crowd. The hotel sits right on the flagstones of Martim Moniz square, which, after decades in the doldrums, has now been reborn as a top spot for pop-up bars and street food festivals.
Bairro Alto Hotel
Why it made the list
It's right on the edge of Lisbon's famously lively Bairro Alto, but far enough removed from the action to allow a good night's sleep post-party. The terrace bar is a good place to sink a drink or two and get into the mood for a night's bar-hopping on the colorful cobbled streets nearby.
Lx Boutique
Why it made the list
There's a fresh and funky feel to this trend-setting hotel in the middle of the party action at Cais do Sodre. The area was a no-go red light district until fairly recently, but post-revamp it's become the city's party central, with late-night bars lining Rua Nova do Carvalho, or 'Pink Street'. Nearby, guests can recover from the night before by sinking into a riverfront sun-lounger and sipping a drink at Ribeira das Naus. Detox or re-tox? It's your call.
