Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel, Accra- Ghana’s Leading International Five Star Hotel has appointed Isaac Okpoti Adjei as its first Ghanaian General Manager, marking a significant milestone since opening its doors in 2011.
Located in the heart of Accra’s central business district and surrounded by 16 acres of lush, landscaped gardens, the hotel is Ghana’s leading international five-star property and a proud member of the Accor Group.
With 260 elegant rooms and suites, the city’s largest lagoon-style pool, and over 1,500 curated African artworks, Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra offers a unique blend of business, leisure, and cultural sophistication.
Originally built in the 1950s as the historic Ambassador Hotel and gifted to the government of Ghana, the modern-day Mövenpick Accra was reborn as a symbol of contemporary luxury. Mr. Adjei’s appointment is a fitting tribute to this legacy—bringing homegrown leadership and international expertise to the forefront of Accor’s vision in Ghana.
Mr. Adjei brings over two decades of experience within the Accor network, having joined the Group at Novotel Accra.
Over the years, he has held a variety of positions across Operations, Commercial, and Learning & Development, and served as a Certified Accor Trainer, contributing to key projects across Africa and the Caribbean across Luxury, Premium, and Economy brands.
A member of the pre-opening team of Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra, Mr. Adjei played a vital role in establishing the hotel’s standards and identity.
His return to Ghana after several international assignments reflects a deep personal and professional connection to the property’s rich heritage.
Since rejoining the team, he has served in several executive roles, culminating in his appointment as Executive Assistant Manager and now General Manager.
Mr. Adjei holds a First-Class degree in Social Sciences from KNUST, a Master of Philosophy in French from the University of Ghana, a Bachelor of Laws from GIMPA, and a Qualifying Certificate of Law from the Ghana School of Law.
He is married with two sons and is deeply passionate about leadership development, service excellence, and team well-being.
This historic appointment reinforces Accor’s commitment to local talent development and diverse leadership across its global network. Under Mr. Adjei’s leadership, Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra is well-positioned to elevate its role as a hospitality benchmark in Ghana and West Africa.
“We are delighted to see Isaac take on this important leadership role,” said Paul Stevens, COO Middle East, Africa & Turkey. “His deep understanding of the brand, passion for service, and exceptional credentials make him a natural fit to guide Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra into its next chapter of excellence.”
Accor congratulates Mr. Adjei on this achievement and looks forward to the continued success of Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra under his leadership.
