The Standard Lisbon

The Standard, Lisbon gives Palácio Santa Clara a sociable new chapter above Alfama’s winding streets. Jaime Hayon’s playful interiors set the tone, while rooms with Tagus views make lingering over a morning coffee rather tempting. Downstairs, the restaurant spills onto three terraces and a former pharmacy storeroom houses the bar lounge. There’s a pool and spa for afternoons off sightseeing, though the rooftop bar makes a persuasive case for heading upstairs as the city lights begin to come on.
