Mahjong is having a moment—and The Mahjong Lounge is turning it into a shared experience

​

Founded by Laura Summers, a global media executive turned entrepreneur, The Mahjong Lounge was born from a simple idea: resorts, private clubs, and curated spaces already offer beautifully crafted amenities and memorable programming so why not engaging, learned, and social experiences that naturally bring people together?

​

Laura’s passion for the game began with lessons from the legendary Cissy Crawford, whose warmth, teaching style, and love of mahjong sparked not only a personal obsession, but the vision for The Mahjong Lounge: a modern, welcoming way to reintroduce mahjong as a shared experience rooted in connection and fun.

​

Today, The Mahjong Lounge partners with resorts, private clubs, and businesses to deliver hosted mahjong experiences designed to be inclusive, lively, and memorable. Our instructor-led gameplay encourages conversation, laughter, and repeat participation—whether guests are learning for the first time or returning to the table.

To support each experience, we also offer custom tile sets and accessories thoughtfully designed to complement the character of each space and reflect the host’s brand ensuring the game feels as natural to the environment as the people playing it.

We create moments 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!
