“QUENTIN INCAO
I like to think of myself as a “Seriously Fun Hospitality Guru”,
I am also the founder of Seattle based Q Hospitality Management + The Q Hotel Group.

I have 26+ years’ of diverse experience in all aspects of hotel + restaurant operations, including such amazing locations as The Lodge at Pebble Beach & San Isidro Ranch. Prior to starting Q Hospitality Management + The Q Hotel Group, I spent 7 years with mTm Luxury Lodging, a Seattle based operator of independent luxury hotels (now Personal Luxury Hotels & Resorts by Benchmark) as Operations Manager, Director of F&B, Director of Operations and Corporate Director of Operations. As corporate DOO I supported existing hotels under current management and was an active participant in MTM’s pre-opening support for the very successful Hotel 1000 (Seattle), Ivy (San Diego), Liberty (Boston) and the LEED Platinum certified Bardessono Hotel in Yountville (Napa), California.

Recent projects include the opening of The Hotel Ballard, a small luxury hotel in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle & the re-opening of Semiahmoo Resort, an iconic PNW resort destination. We are currently in early discussions on a historic Olympic Peninsula hotel project as well as a small luxury hotel in an up and coming neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.

In the Seattle area, we are in the re-development stage of Seattle’s well-known Lusty Lady building, transitioning it into a small luxury, 43-room hotel with multiple F&B experiences. This property is aiming for an opening in late 2019 and will be managed by The Q Hotel Group.
