SUD Lisboa: The Enchanting and Trendy Hotspot in Portugal’s Charismatic Capital
Known for being one of Europe’s sunniest capitals, Lisbon has become a popular year-round destination with warm summers and mild winters. Hot summer temperatures are cooled off by the Atlantic breeze, while in winter they never reach the freezing point. Built on seven hills, it’s a marvelous and romantic city, having an unrivalled position by the sea, with several sandy beaches just minutes from downtown. Presenting incredible historical sights, it’s a European capital like no other, and one that you’ll want to return to time and again.
The stylish waterside hotspot is the first project of SANA Hotels outside of hospitality. Situated at the Avenida Brasília on the riverfront of the historic district of Belém, complimented with the all-embracing sight of the Tagus River, and the engineering marvel of 25 de Abril - SUD Lisboa is designed to impress the most sophisticated of minds.
L’Officiel Ibiza had the pleasure to spend a memorable weekend during the press visit, experiencing a warm welcome in SUD Lisboa and Epic SANA Marquês Hotel, offering an impeccable service and classy event. We had the pleasure to be invited to the Birthday Party of the properties’ Executive Board and Business Development Director Salomé Gorgiladze which organised The SG Awards Super Stars Gala event to reward distinguished friends.
This lavish establishment, which has fast made a name for itself thanks to its unique, multi-purpose events space and all-round quality experience, is one of the latest brainchilds of the iconic SANA Group, and with its contemporary yet timeless feel comprising clean, flowing lines that are reminiscent of the 1930’s Art Deco era, it has fast become renowned as much for its interior flair as much as its trendy vibe. This prominently shows in the three pillars that hold SUD Lisboa high in the sights of Lisbon: SUD Lisboa Terrazza, SUD Lisboa Hall and SUD Pool Lounge.
The distinguished invitees will be treated to pre-dinner drinks, extravagant entertainment, an elaborate Gala Dinner and a fabulous lucky draw in a truly glamorous evening to remember, surprising attendees with its staging and artistic content. It’s about experience an evening like the guests have never before: fascinating entertainment and taste how the various courses of signature menu bring culinary worlds together... such as fresh seafood starters, risottos, pastas, and seasonal specialities like exceptional grilled Atlantic prawns, while feeling what lifestyle really means in the middle of an extravagant design location!
“Memorable, magnificent, luxurious yet relaxed, surprising, fashionable, and elegant. SUD Lisboa continues to focus on offering quality customer service, from its cuisine to its excellent entertainment, to its capacity for innovation. All of these elements place it among the best destinations in the city,” - Salomé Gorgiladze, Executive Board and Business Development Director of SANA Group Hotels.
Celebrating Life
Linked from the main restaurant and pool terrace, by a glass bridge is a secondary building within the SUD Lisboa complex. This is the SUD Lisboa Hall, a contemporary space for world-class events, high-end parties, and unforgettable weddings. The flexibility is impressive - undoubtedly SUD Lisboa Hall - the venue where The SG Awards Super Stars Gala took place has redefined social and corporate events facilities of Lisbon.
We had the priviledge to be amongst the 160 distinguished invitees at the SG Super Stars Gala who attended from all parts of the world such as Georgia, Switzlerland, Monaco and Latin America. The audience profiles were from different backgrounds - governmental, diplomatic, entrepreneurs, celebrities amongst high society personalities from Morocco, Egypt, Romania, Italy and other countries.
The prestigious event started with a welcome drink, sophisticated entertainment, an elaborate Gala Dinner by Executive Chef Patrick Lefeuvre and a fabulous lucky draw in a truly glamorous evening to remember, surprising attendees with its staging and artistic content. It’s about experiencing an evening like the guests have never before: fascinating and exclusive entertainment and taste how the various courses of signature menu bring culinary worlds together, while feeling what lifestyle really means in the middle of an extravaganza design location!
SUD Lisboa Hall’s Executive Chef and Team are well versed in finest delicacies, so that their extraordinary skills bring a world-class cuisine flavor to both national and international events, especially by the launch of OMEGA watches or HBO, Formula 1 launch or the award ceremony of the E! Channel Entertainment. SUD Lisboa is also known for hosting first-class events with the presence of personalities such as Valentino, Monica Bellucci, Michael Fassbdender, Madonna, The Gipsy Kings, Julio Iglesias and many others.
