« Every apartment must be built, furnished and appointed as if my family and I were to live here forever. » Discover the genesis of a high standard that has become a benchmark address in Sanguéra.
This guiding principle preceded the blueprints, the estimates, and the very first cornerstone laid in Sanguéra. It served as the benchmark for every decision, from tile selection to mattress firmness. ORADYS RESIDENCE was born from this simple commitment: never offer a guest anything less than what I would provide for my own family. Here is how this principle became a premier address in the 1st district of Lomé.
Building for one’s own family leaves no room for compromise. We tested water pressure on the top floor, the sturdiness of every hinge, and the absolute silence of the air conditioner in the middle of the night. Every detail across our 22 residences in twin towers was crafted to this exacting measure.
« Would I have my family stay here for twenty years? If there was any hesitation, we started over. »
— Pierre, Founder of Oradys Residence
No true identity without a name. We wanted that in pronouncing the name of the residence, one could evoke in a single breath the first names of the five members of our family. Many evenings were spent exploring letter combinations around the table until ORADYS emerged: six letters in which each of us finds at least one letter of our first name. The complete list of names will remain our family secret.
Before becoming a hospitality residence, ORADYS was inspired by years of traveling. Extended studies abroad and international assignments gave me firsthand experience with all kinds of stays far from home. From those journeys arose the vision of the place that was missing: hotel-grade comfort and standards at fair rates, with the freedom of a true home.
« You are staying in a residence that literally bears a family’s name. That brings a sacred duty of excellence. »

The choice was clear from the start: local expertise would shape everything. The construction of the twin towers, the woodwork, the bespoke furniture, and interior decor all came from the workshops of talented Togolese artisans. Each piece tells the story of authentic local craft. You arrive with your luggage; everything else is already prepared for you.
Building in Sanguéra was our way of giving back to the country and believing in its warm hospitality spirit. Today, our furnished apartments welcome travelers from around the world: international consultants, vacationing families, embassy and NGO staff, and couples on retreat. The story continues to be written, one stay at a time, on this quiet street in Sanguéra facing the Gendarmerie.
