Summary

Let’s Go Lisbon!

Opening in 2027, The Standard, Lisbon

marks our long-anticipated arrival in one of Europe’s most charismatic capitals. Set within the historic Palácio Santa Clara, overlooking Alfama and the Tagus River, the hotel brings The Standard’s signature blend of bold design, culture and unconventional hospitality to the heart of Lisbon.

Reimagined by architect Samuel Torres de Carvalho, with playful and distinctive interiors by Jaime Hayon, the property combines centuries of history with a fresh, contemporary spirit. Featuring 170 guestrooms, 24 long-stay apartments, vibrant dining and bar experiences, a pool, spa and rooftop terrace, The Standard, Lisbon is set to become one of the city's most exciting new destinations.

Ever wondered what it takes to bring a brand-new hotel to life? Here's your chance to find out. As we gear up for our highly anticipated launch, we're looking for a Housekeeping Intern who's ready to bring fresh energy, get involved and help us create something extraordinary. From preparing our very first guestrooms to ensuring every corner of the hotel is ready to impress, this is your opportunity to be part of something special from day one.

Your role

As our Housekeeping Intern, you'll join us at one of the most exciting moments in a hotel's journey: the countdown to opening.

You'll get involved in pre‑opening preparations, learn our housekeeping procedures and service standards, and gain exposure to different areas of the department, from guestroom and public area operations to housekeeping coordination, room inspections and supervisory activities. Once our doors open, you'll help deliver exceptional guest experiences, ensuring our rooms and public spaces look their best, responding to guest requests and working closely with other departments to bring our 'Anything but Standard' philosophy to life.

This isn't your typical internship. You'll experience the excitement of launching a brand-new hotel, learn from experienced hospitality professionals and discover how attention to the smallest details can create something extraordinary. We're looking for someone with personality, curiosity and enthusiasm.
