A. O. Ansong
Founder
“Where Business Meets Pleasure — And the World Slows Down”
They say great ideas are born in silence — and often, in smoke.
The idea for The Manager Lounge was sparked not in a boardroom, but in a plush leather chair at D Bar, the exclusive lounge inside the Ritz-Carlton in Vienna. With a glass of aged Austrian wine in hand and a finely rolled cigar between his fingers, Mr. A. O. Ansong sat reflecting—not just on success, but on the space where success breathes.
Surrounded by quiet jazz, soft light, and a curated crowd of global elites, he realized something profound: the modern world offers few sanctuaries for leaders to pause. A place not just to unwind, but to connect, reflect, and create.
From that moment, the vision became clear: a private lounge in Accra where taste meets tradition, and where top executives, creatives, and dealmakers can share a cigar and conversation without distraction.
Thus, The Manager Lounge was born — a haven for refined indulgence. A space inspired by the world’s most prestigious lounges, built for those who appreciate luxury not as status, but as a lifestyle.
This isn’t a place for everyone.
It’s a place for those who understand that time, like a good cigar, should
never be rushed.
Welcome to The Manager.
