On Wednesday, June 18th, AmCham Ghana had the opportunity to take part in the Africa Real Estate Conference & Expo, hosted by the Ghana Real Estate Professionals Association (GREPA) under the theme: “Unlocking Africa’s Potential for Sustainable Growth.”
Held at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra, the event brought together a vibrant mix of voices, industry leaders, developers, government officials, and innovators, who are all playing a role in shaping the future of real estate across Africa.
One of the key highlights was a powerful address from Hon. Gizella Tetteh-Agbotui, Deputy Minister for Works and Housing. She spoke about the importance of fully rolling out Ghana’s Real Estate Agency Act and the value of adapting tried and tested international frameworks, like the U.S. model, to fit Ghana’s unique needs and realities.
A particularly exciting moment came from our Platinum Member, Zipline, represented by Country Director Daniel Marfo. He shared how Zipline’s drone technology, originally developed to deliver life-saving medical supplies like blood, is now opening up new possibilities for infrastructure and urban development. Ghana, after Rwanda, is one of the first countries in the world to use this innovation at scale, and it’s already showing promise in supporting smarter real estate planning and service delivery.
During the event, our acting executive secretary, Jane Okyere-Aduachie, shared brief remarks on the Chamber’s ongoing commitment to strengthening U.S.-Ghana trade and investment. She highlighted the importance of real estate as a key pillar of economic growth and emphasized AMCHAM’s role as a bridge between American investors and Ghana’s growing sectors.
The event also featured an engaging fireside chat, where panelists dove into key topics such as
Making land ownership and registration more accessible and secure
Financing infrastructure projects and enabling digital real estate transactions
Using technology and data to plan better, more livable cities
For AMCHAM Ghana, it was an energizing reminder of how collaboration between the public and private sectors can drive real, sustainable progress. We’re proud to be part of these conversations, and even more excited about what lies ahead for Ghana’s real estate space.

New Asian-Ghanaian bar and restaurant opens at five-star luxury hotel in Accra
Accra, 4 June 2025 – The new ASANA Bar and Kitchen serves a refined take on Asian-fusion cuisine in the heart of Accra. At an exclusive two-day opening event, it previewed the new dining spaces and eateries of its latest culinary venue. In attendance were high-profile delegates, famous personalities and some of the nation’s top food influencers.
The latest addition to the ever-evolving culinary scene at Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra, the sophisticated space offers both indoor and outdoor seating for up to 104 guests and is located near the iconic spiral staircase of the hotel’s grand lobby. Surrounded with palms and potted plants, guests are welcomed into an elegant yet relaxed environment, where contemporary and natural design elements harmoniously converge.
A pristine, textured, white marble bar with distinct vining marks the centre of ASANA Bar and Kitchen, accented by suspended ornate pendant lamps and vibrant red bar stools. Inside, guests can sit at the striking 360-degree marble counter bar or at the cosy lounge area and enjoy a uniquely curated cocktail menu that explores flavours and cultures from the East and West.
Outdoors, the open-air restaurant offers views of the cascading waterfall and greens of the Cedar Garden and blends Asian-inspired dishes with Ghanaian flair, using locally sourced ingredients to create a vibrant and balanced fusion. Guests can expect an experience that is both adventurous and comforting, from small bites to signature plates.
‘Every dish at ASANA tells a story,’ said Felix Otte, Director of Food & Beverage at Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra. ‘Our culinary team has taken great care to balance bold, familiar Ghanaian tastes with subtle Asian nuances. It is a fusion that is exciting, yet deeply respectful of both cultures.’
One menu standout is the Watermelon Gochujang starter that pairs avocado mousse and chilli vinaigrette with watermelon – a dessert fruit widely enjoyed in Ghana. Other unique items on the menu include a delightful Baked Miso Salmon, Pork Bulgogi Quesadillas and a refreshing sorbet dessert made of yams.
To commemorate the launch and the hotel’s ten-year anniversary, ASANA also introduced a signature cocktail – Afe Du – meaning ‘Ten Years’ in Twi, a variety of the Akan language spoken in Ghana. Crafted by the bar’s mixology team, the cocktail combines local infusions with international spirits for a flavour that is both celebratory and symbolic.
Ultimately, the expertise of its service team sets ASANA Bar and Kitchen apart from other dining venues in the city. The waiters and bartenders at ASANA are extensively trained in the food and beverage offerings and can recommend pairings, provide insight into flavour profiles and share the inspiration behind each dish or cocktail. Guests are welcomed with warmth, knowledge and professionalism, making ASANA as much about connection as it is about the cuisine.
‘ASANA represents the culmination of a decade of delivering exceptional moments to our guests, and we wanted to celebrate this milestone with a concept that honours our Ghanaian roots while embracing global inspiration,’ said Hanno Barkhoff, General Manager of Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra. ‘It is not just a bar or an à la carte restaurant but a reflection of who we are as a hotel and how we continuously evolve our food and beverage offerings.’
ASANA Bar and Kitchen is now open to the public. While the restaurant requires reservations, the bar warmly welcomes walk-ins and invites both hotel guests and residents to unwind, indulge and celebrate life’s little luxuries.

In support of AfCFTA initiatives, the U.S. Africa Business Center of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with AmCham Ghana, led a delegation to the AfCFTA Secretariat. The visit aimed to promote intra-African trade in agri-tech, automotive, and digital infrastructure, gain insight into AfCFTA’s progress, and address current challenges.
During the discussions, the Secretariat’s Director of Coordination and Programs Dr. Tsotetsi Makong (PhD) noted that Africa accounts for only 2% of global trade, underscoring the urgent need for AfCFTA to expand intra-African trade and attract foreign direct investment (FDI). He highlighted the importance of increased investment to unlock the continent’s market potential.
The Director also emphasized the growing role of drone technology in healthcare logistics and technology transfer. He confirmed that 49 member states have signed on to implement the agreement, with the exceptions being Benin, Eritrea, Libya, South Sudan, and Somalia. Negotiations are 90% complete, and the focus has now shifted to implementation.
Key achievements include 48 provisional tariff schedules and a 94.43% completion rate in trade and growth talks, with textile and bottling sectors still under negotiation. Agreements have also been reached in investment policies, intellectual property, and digital trade.
Notably, there will be no customs duties on electronic transmissions, and cross-border data transfers will be permitted without restrictions, subject to safeguards currently under discussion with member states.
