Amorim Luxury Group Confirms October 8 Opening for JNcQUOI House in Lisbon
The Amorim Luxury Group has officially announced that its new boutique hotel and fine dining project, JNcQUOI House, will open in Lisbon on October 8th of this year. The announcement was made by the company's chief executive, Miguel Guedes Sousa, following a delay of over a year. The project's original inauguration, planned for May 2024, was postponed after a fire necessitated a complete interior renovation of the property.
The project specifications detail a luxury boutique hotel containing 17 guest rooms. The development is a significant expansion of the JNcQUOI brand, which is already established in Lisbon's high-end dining scene. The new property will also feature a fine dining restaurant named 'The Fish,' which has been in preparation for four years. The restaurant will be led by Chef Filipe Carvalho, who previously worked at the Michelin-starred restaurant Fifty Seconds. The stated ambition for 'The Fish' is to secure a Michelin star, and its design includes an exclusive 10-seat counter.
The construction and design timeline was managed to create a high-end, exclusive environment. The architectural design for JNcQUOI House was overseen by Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen, who also designed the group's JNcQuoi Beach Club in Comporta. The project aims to be a landmark development in Lisbon's hospitality sector, combining a modern, minimalist aesthetic with the historical character of its location. The group's official communications describe the design as one that 'resists fads and trends, in perfect harmony with the historical heritage and the surrounding neighborhood.'
The financing and investment for this luxury project position it as a key asset within the Amorim Luxury Group's portfolio. The development is intended to embody the company's lifestyle concept, which merges gastronomy, fashion, and hospitality. In addition to the hotel and the main restaurant, the project will include a separate kiosk also specializing in fish and seafood, though further details on this component have not yet been released.
The project's completion is expected to have a notable impact on the local luxury market. It signals continued investment and confidence in Lisbon as a destination for high-net-worth individuals and international tourists. The choice of a chef from a Michelin-starred background and the explicit goal of achieving similar recognition underscore the project's positioning at the upper echelon of the market. The opening is scheduled to proceed, with the first service at 'The Fish' commencing at 1:30 PM on October 8th.
