Lagos Avenida Hotel, Lagos (Algarve)
Chic adults-only boutique hotel with stylish rooms, a heated rooftop pool, marina views, and an acclaimed restaurant
I loved the decor and views at this hotel. It was very easy to walk to the shops, marina, and restaurants nearby.
Great location and great breakfast provided.
Absolutely loved this cool, Scandinavian, boho hotel. Superb location along side the marina. Epic restaurant. The breakfasts are another level, the staff is 10/10. We tried... Read more
A beautiful boutique hotel across from the Marina. The restaurant was exceptional for breakfast and our Michelin star food and wine tasting was off the chain.
The hotel has a great view of the marina. The room was nice, had everything we needed. We loved the rooftop pool.
Overview
Coastal chic is the theme at Lagos Avenida Hotel, an adults-only boutique property that overlooks the marina in central Lagos. Guests will find the historic Old Town within easy walking distance, and countless Algarve beaches are under 10 minutes away by car. Guest rooms feature stylish, stripped-down interiors with pale wood and linen accents, balconies or terraces, and views of the city or marina. Amenities include a multilevel rooftop with a heated saltwater infinity pool and bar, plus a complimentary breakfast and the acclaimed Michelin-listed Avenida restaurant.
Kimkim's Take
- You'll enjoy a prime location directly overlooking the marina in central Lagos, with the Old Town and several beaches within easy reach.
- The multilevel rooftop includes a heated saltwater pool and a small, stylish bar.
- Rooms have chic, stripped-down interiors with linen and natural wood accents, balconies or terraces, and views over the city or the marina.
- Book a table at the on-site Avenida restaurant for local seafood and modern Portuguese dishes.
- The complimentary breakfast features a lavish assortment of buffet and a la carte options.
- The open-plan bathroom layouts maximize space and light, but some travelers may want more privacy.
- The hotel doesn't allow children under 12, so families will want to look elsewhere.
Authenticity
There's a touch of mid-century Miami to the exterior of Lagos Avenida Hotel, with balconies stacked up a stark white facade and crowned by a turquoise rooftop pool. Step inside, and you'll find a relaxed, coastal-inspired decor featuring organic textures like seagrass, sisal, driftwood, and washed linen. Metal and stone accents have an aged effect to look like they've been worn by the sea air, and handcrafted art pieces feel plucked from the Algarve surroundings. The theme continues in the on-site restaurant, where fresh seafood gets the haute cuisine treatment from a Michelin-starred chef.
Location
Situated directly across from the marina in central Lagos, the hotel offers a prime location for exploring both the city and the surrounding beaches of the Algarve. A 10-minute stroll takes you into the heart of the Old Town, where you'll find plenty of restaurants, cafés, and boutiques, as well as historic sites like the Castelo dos Governadores and the 16th-century fortified city walls. Beaches like Praia Dona Ana, Meia Praia, and Praia do Canavial are all under 10 minutes away by car. The Faros Airport is an hour's drive, and there's limited parking available on-site at the hotel at an additional cost (including EV chargers).
Rooms & Bathrooms
You'll find more airy, stripped-down decor throughout the 40+ light-filled Double and Superior rooms, with breezy linen curtains, fluffy white bedding, and woven throw rugs softening the custom wood furniture and aged metal accents. The modern bathrooms feature a unique, open-plan design tucked behind a glass partition, which means light and space are optimized, but privacy can be an issue for some travelers. State-of-the-art air-conditioning throughout all the rooms keeps things pleasantly cool in the summer, and all rooms feature private terraces or balconies, with either city or marina views.
Amenities
The hotel's multilevel rooftop is its crowning feature, complete with a heated saltwater infinity pool, a petite rooftop bar, and dazzling views over the marina and the coast. Downstairs, the complimentary breakfast is a perennial hit with guests, offered daily with a large selection of buffet and a la carte options. For lunch and dinner, the 2025 Michelin-listed Avenida restaurant serves elevated Portuguese dishes with an emphasis on local seafood—nab a spot at the counter for the full experience of watching the head chef in action.Family-Friendliness

As mature adults, this does not meet expectations of a 4 star hotel. Also, there’s no parking if you have a rental car and no one to help with luggage. Pool area is not luxurious at all and rather stark, but the positive is its fantastic restaurant and... Read more
