A luxury concierge service in Paris offers personal assistance that goes well beyond restaurant reservations. For high-end property owners, expatriates, and international buyers, it is an essential part of Parisian life. Here is how this service works and who it is designed for.
What a luxury concierge offers
Daily life management
A luxury concierge handles the everyday tasks that clients cannot or prefer not to manage: regular cleaning, dry cleaning, grocery shopping, parcel and mail reception, coordination of tradespeople for minor repairs. For a non-resident owner, it guarantees the apartment is maintained and ready for each stay.
Reservations and exclusive access
Access to Michelin-starred restaurants, sold-out shows, and private events is one of the traditional concierge services. The best Parisian concierge firms have direct relationships with establishments and can secure tables or seats that are unavailable to the general public.
Trip and event planning
From organising a private dinner in an exceptional venue to planning an entire weekend (transfers, accommodation, activities, babysitting), the concierge coordinates all service providers. For businesses, they manage seminars, executive travel, and hosting of international clients.
High-end rental management
For owners who wish to rent their Parisian property between stays, some concierge firms offer a full rental management service: online listing, guest welcome, cleaning, inventory, incident management. Rental yields in the luxury segment in Paris often justify this service.
Key players in Paris
The Parisian luxury concierge market includes several established players. John Paul (acquired by Accor), Quintessentially, Luxury Concierge, and several independent firms offer plans tailored to different profiles. Private banks and family offices also include concierge services in their offerings.
The right choice depends on your profile: an expatriate living in Paris does not have the same needs as an investor who owns a pied-a-terre and stays four weeks a year.
Concierge services and property acquisition
Luxury concierge services often come into play after the purchase. An international buyer who has just purchased an apartment in Paris needs a local contact to coordinate renovation works, receive deliveries, install equipment, and prepare for the first stay.
Some of our clients ask us for concierge recommendations after their acquisition. It is a natural extension of the property hunter’s support: finding the property, then helping the client settle in under the best conditions.
For international buyers, our guide to buying in Paris as a foreigner details the steps and complementary services available.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a luxury concierge service cost in Paris?
Fees vary depending on the plan. An annual personal concierge subscription costs between 3,000 and 15,000 euros per year. One-off services (event planning, reservations, property management) are billed per request, typically between 150 and 500 euros per service. Some concierge firms operate on a membership basis with unlimited requests.
What is the difference between a building concierge and a luxury concierge?
A building concierge (or caretaker) is employed by the co-ownership for maintenance and security. A luxury concierge is a private service that handles clients' personal requests: reservations, purchases, travel planning, property management. The two are complementary but have entirely different scopes.
Do foreign buyers use concierge services in Paris?
Yes, very frequently. Non-resident buyers who purchase a pied-a-terre in Paris use concierge services for day-to-day property management (cleaning, mail, minor repairs), preparing for their stays, and rental management between visits. It is a service that complements the property hunter.
