The Standard, Lisbon, located at Palácio Santa Clara rises above the colourful alleyways of Alfama, one of the most picturesque neighbourhoods in Lisbon to offer first-row seating to the best river views in town. Built upon the ancient College of St. Francis Xavier which has continuously served as the Portuguese Royal Navy Hospital for over 200 years.

Throughout the building, additional public and private event spaces are platforms for happenings.

The Standard’s signature mix of playful, sophisticated, unexpected hospitality finds roots and resonances in local culture in Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood and the city's cultural hub. Fado's holy land and a charming labyrinth of alleyways, curled staircases and hidden patios, this hole-in-the-wall mecca will surprise and delight time and again, juxtaposed by The Standard, which will of course be anything but!
