Kempinski Group, Europe’s oldest luxury hospitality company, has announced the launch of Kempinski Accra Private Residences in Ghana, marking its branded residential debut in Africa. Developed by GCC Resorts, the project will bring luxury hotel services and exclusive residential living to Accra, adjacent to the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra.
The development
reflects growing demand for high-end residential properties in West Africa,
driven by urbanisation, the relocation of corporate headquarters and an
emerging generation of investors seeking premium city living and lifestyle
experiences.
The project also
builds on Kempinski’s longstanding partnership with GCC Resorts, extending the
group's presence in Accra through a residential offering that combines European
hospitality traditions with contemporary African design and culture.
“We are pleased to
mark more than a decade of partnership with GCC Resorts by deepening our
partnership further with the announcement of Kempinski Accra Private
Residences. Together we will offer an elevated, urban lifestyle to residents
that resonates deeply with the emerging, vibrant destination - celebrating West
Africa’s unique culture, connection and authentic living while being supported
by our European elegance, design, and legendary service. Branded residences
have become a significant growth pillar for Kempinski Hotels, complementing the
group's existing hotel portfolio and we are excited to expand our footprint to
Africa,” said Noel Attard, Chief Development Officer, Kempinski Group.
Marwan Zakhem,
Managing Director of GCC Resorts, said the development aims to establish a new
benchmark for luxury residential living in the Ghanaian capital.
“This development has
been driven by our passion for excellence and our belief that Accra deserves a
world-class address equal to its dynamism. The residences have been
thoughtfully designed to embody timeless elegance and modern comfort, with
curated contemporary African art offering and amenities that rival the world’s
most exclusive addresses. We are extending the promise of luxury hospitality
into everyday living, just as we did when we introduced the Kempinski Hotel
Gold Coast City.”
He added: “Kempinski
Accra Private Residences is not only a home; it is a benchmark, setting a new
standard for sophistication and creating a legacy for generations to come.”
The development will
comprise 55 private residences within an 11-storey tower, including four
exclusive townhouses, a signature Sky Loft and three penthouses featuring
expansive rooftop terraces.
Accommodation options
will range from two-bedroom apartments to three- and four-bedroom homes, with
spacious interiors, contemporary finishes and large private terraces. Many
residences will offer panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and prominent city landmarks,
including the financial district skyline, the National Theatre and Cultural
Centre precinct, and Black Star Stadium.
Residents will also
have access to a range of services provided by the adjacent Kempinski Hotel
Gold Coast City Accra. These include concierge assistance, in-residence dining,
housekeeping, spa and salon treatments, and Kids Club services, alongside access
to the hotel's restaurants and The Galleria.
The residential
development will feature dedicated lifestyle and wellness facilities, including
a private wellness floor with a fitness centre, indoor swimming pool, spa and
treatment rooms, cold plunge and sauna. An additional rooftop swimming pool
will provide space for relaxation and leisure.
Outdoor facilities
will include tennis and padel courts within landscaped grounds, creating a
private recreational environment in the city centre.
The project forms part
of Kempinski’s wider strategy to expand its branded residences portfolio,
combining private home ownership with the services and amenities associated
with luxury hotels.
Construction of Kempinski Accra Private Residences is well advanced, with completion scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027. The developer said a limited number of residences remain available. -TTN
