The Moxy Lisboa Park Alfragide is being built at the entrance of Quinta Grande and represents an investment of €63 million. The speculation is over. The mirrored building under construction at the entrance of Quinta Grande, next to the Estrada Nacional 117, will be Amadora’s largest hotel and will be called Moxy Lisboa Park Alfragide. New in Amadora has confirmed that this three-star hotel is expected to open “in the summer of this year,” according to an official source from the project.

The new hotel will be the largest in the entire Amadora municipality, with a gross construction area of 9,555 square meters. It will feature 218 rooms, a congress and events center with a capacity of up to 400 people, a “fitness & pool area,” a food & beverage zone, and two underground parking floors. Operating under Marriott International’s Moxy brand through a franchise model, the hotel is owned by Mercan Group and will be managed by AHM, the group’s hotel management company. “This is an investment of €63 million,” the same source told New in Amadora.

The hotel is being built on land that, until 2021, housed the Alfragide Business Center, which Mercan acquired that year for over €5 million, according to reports at the time. It is designed for a “sophisticated executive audience” and aims to “offer comfort and tranquility for both leisure and business travelers.”

Strategic Location & Unique Design

The proximity to Lisbon and easy access to various locations were key reasons behind the Moxy Lisboa Park Alfragide’s chosen location. The Saraiva & Associados architecture firm, which designed the hotel, envisions it as “a small oasis.”

“It is not just a hotel but rather a central hub for meetings, dining, and leisure services,” states the project description. According to the architectural firm, “the building features a large interior landscaped courtyard that will distribute natural light throughout the space.”

A Boost for Amadora

For the Mayor of Amadora, this private investment is “a great asset, not only for the jobs it will create but also for its ability to accommodate the technological cluster already present in Alfragide.””For the city of Amadora, it is a privilege to be chosen for such investments, which result from our efforts to improve accessibility, as we are just 12 minutes from Lisbon,” Vítor Ferreira told New in Amadora. The CEO of AHM, the company managing Moxy Lisboa Park Alfragide, highlights the corporate market focus, emphasizing the 400-person conference center. “We are introducing an innovative concept designed to serve the entire Amadora area, which is home to a large number of companies,” said Mariano Faz in an interview.

Additionally, the hotel is developing a unique dining concept, aiming to become “a key meeting point in the region,” the CEO added. The hotel is expected to open in July.
