Whilst the winter winds still blow around us, the fashion world is already looking ahead to the next season, with the top European cities preparing to showcase their latest collections during fashion week. With so much creativity to absorb, one needs a suitably fashionable hotel to rest up in between shows. Here’s our edit of the most stylish places to stay in Europe’s fashion capitals…

London – Blakes Hotel

Blakes Hotel is the epitome of boutique luxury; each room is individually designed by Anouska Hempel, resulting in a mélange of quirky, elegant and original interior style. So it’s perhaps no surprise that it’s often  referred to as The ‘Couture Hotel’. This South Kensington haunt is not a new addition to London, it’s been attracting the elite since it opened in 1978; but with artefacts from Hempel’s travels dotted around the place, mixed with top class modern technology from the likes of Bang & Olufsen, it’s still very much in vogue. 33 Roland Gardens, London, SW7 3PF

Milan – Maison Moschino

With the label’s reputation for beautiful collections, it seems only fitting to make its hotel, the Maison Moschino, our recommended sleepover during the city’s fashion week. Set in the heart of Milan, on the Viale Monte Grappa, this former 1840′s railway station now houses an eccentric and art-filled collection of fairy tale-themed rooms – including  Little Red Riding Hood, Alice’s Room and Sleeping in a Ballgown. Chic dining and luxe relaxation come courtesy of the Michelin-starred Clandestino Milano restaurant and therapeutic ART SPA. With delicious arty touches such as the Moschino staple lampshade dress light which greets guests in reception, it’s worth a visit if only for a walk around. Viale Monte Grappa, 12, 20124 Milan.

Paris – KUBE Hotel

As the fashion crowds flock to the capital of chic in search of tomorrow’s looks, where better to stay than the futuristic KUBE hotel? Located in the trendy 18th district – a stone’s throw from arty Montmartre – the 29 rooms and 12 suites boast spacious, playful areas, decked out with the latest gadgetry, Philippe Starck-designed bathrooms, and ‘floating’ beds lit from beneath. You won’t need to worry about misplacing your key at raucous fashion soirées – entry to the rooms is by fingerprint recognition.  Downstairs, the Ice KUBE bar, a first for Paris, lists an exclusively Grey Goose Vodka cocktail menu, served in sub-zero temperatures. It’s certainly the coolest place to stay… KUBE Hotel, 1-5 passage Ruelle, 75018 Paris.
