ABOUT US

Mahjong is having a moment—and The Mahjong Lounge is bringing it to the world’s most elevated spaces.

 

Founded by global media executive Laura Summers, The Mahjong Lounge was born from a simple idea: luxury resorts, private clubs, and curated spaces already offer everything from monogrammed robes to artisan cocktails—so why not curated experiences that bring people together in a stylish, meaningful way?

 

It all started with lessons from the legendary Cissy Crawford—the beloved teacher sparked not only Laura’s personal love of the game, but the vision for The Mahjong Lounge.

 

Today, The Mahjong Lounge partners with private clubs, businesses, and resorts to deliver bespoke mahjong experiences—

Our offering includes branded tile sets, custom accessories, and instructor-led gameplay, with every detail

designed to reflect your brand and elevate the guest experience.

 

We create moments that guests remember—and return for.

 

Because mahjong isn’t just a game.

​

It’s a ritual. ​A vibe. ​A connection.

​

And a whole lot of fun!​
