Luxury Concierge Services in Paris: Services, How It Works, and Best Addresses

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 what the service covers, what it costs plan by plan, what separates it from the building caretaker and from rental management, and what you need to have settled if you own a Paris pied-a-terre without living in France.

What does a luxury concierge do?

It covers four families of services: daily life management, reservations and exclusive access, trip and event planning, and high-end rental management. In Paris in 2026, an annual subscription costs 3,000 to 15,000 euros depending on the plan, with one-off services billed at 150 to 500 euros each.

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. One point of law deserves attention here. As soon as a provider collects rent and represents the owner towards a tenant, they are carrying out regulated property management, which in France requires the professional licence known as the carte G. Not every concierge firm holds one, and those that do not usually partner with a licensed managing agent.

How much does a luxury concierge cost in Paris, plan by plan?

The 3,000 to 15,000 euros a year range covers very different offers. Here is how it breaks down on the Paris market in 2026.

Plan	2026 price range	What it covers	Who it suits
Pay per request, no commitment	150 to 500 euros per service	A single request: a hard-to-get reservation, coordinating a tradesperson, taking in a delivery	Occasional stay, occasional need
Entry-level subscription	3,000 to 5,000 euros a year	A few requests a month, business hours, shared contact	Pied-a-terre used a few weeks a year
Mid-range subscription	5,000 to 10,000 euros a year	Regular requests, wider hours, named contact	Second home in frequent use, expatriate family
Unlimited or dedicated plan	10,000 to 15,000 euros a year	Uncapped requests, extended availability, full coordination of providers	High-end main residence, executive, international family
High-end rental management	Percentage of rent collected, on top of the subscription	Listing, guest welcome, cleaning, inventories, incidents	Owner renting between stays

Four variables explain most of the gap between the bottom and the top of that grid: the number of requests allowed per month, the hours actually covered (business hours, evenings and weekends, or round-the-clock availability), whether your contact is dedicated or shared, and the geographic reach of the service, international cover costing markedly more than a strictly Parisian one.

One point comes up in every bad surprise: those amounts pay for the service, not for the spending. Hotel nights, tickets, tradespeople’s fees, supplies and shopping are advanced and then re-invoiced. Two questions to ask before signing: does the firm take a margin on those advanced costs, and above what amount do they ask for written approval?

Concierge, building caretaker, rental manager: who does what

This is the most common confusion, and it becomes expensive the day you discover that nobody was responsible for an intervention.

	Building caretaker	Luxury concierge	Rental manager
Who pays	The co-ownership, through the service charges	The client, by subscription or per request	The landlord, as a percentage of the rent
Status	Employee of the co-owners’ association	Service provider under an ordinary commercial contract	Licence holder (carte G), written mandate required
Scope	Common areas, mail, bins, surveillance	The client’s private life and logistics, inside and outside the home	The rented property and the tenant relationship
Availability	Lodge opening hours	Depending on the plan, up to round-the-clock cover	Agency hours
What they do not do	Never work inside your own apartment	Do not represent the owner towards a tenant	Do not handle the owner’s personal life

These three roles do not replace one another, they stack. A non-resident owner renting out between stays often has all three at once: a caretaker for the building, a manager for the lease, and a concierge for everything left over, which is to say most of what you actually notice during a stay.

The non-resident owner’s checklist

Here is what needs settling when you buy in Paris without living there. It is the list we go through with our international clients at the handover of keys.

Before the handover

• Have the meters read and open the energy, water and internet accounts in the right name, with a payment method that works from abroad.
• Name a Paris address for receiving post. The managing agent, the notaire and the tax office all write, often by registered mail, and an uncollected letter goes back to the sender.
• Take out non-occupying owner insurance. It is not the same as ordinary home insurance and it covers the periods when the property is empty.
• Ask the managing agent for the co-ownership rules, the caretaker’s contact details, and the rules that apply to renovation works (days, hours, approvals).

The first three months

• Coordinate the tradespeople. This is the item that demands the most physical presence, and the one a concierge firm absorbs best.
• Organise access to the property: a spare set of keys held by an identified third party, a secure key box or a dedicated door code, with a written record of who holds what.
• Deal with the declarations attached to the property: the occupancy declaration to the French tax office, the property tax, and the second-home council tax where it applies.
• Set up automatic payment of the service charges and local taxes, so nothing depends on a letter received 6,000 kilometres away.

Steady state

• Arrange regular visits to the property even when empty: one unnoticed leak costs more than a year of subscription.
• Insist on a single contact reachable in the owner’s time zone, not just a generic address.
• Set in writing the spending threshold that can be committed without prior approval.
• Ask for a written report after every intervention, with photographs.

What our clients ask for after completion

About 30% of Home Select clients live abroad. Once the deed is signed, three requests come back almost every time, and together they map out what a concierge is genuinely useful for.

Coordinating renovation works remotely. This is by far the first one. Between the handover of keys and the first stay there is nearly always a project: redecoration, kitchen, bathroom, electrics. The owner can neither let the tradespeople in nor settle an unforeseen site issue from another time zone. A local intermediary who receives, checks and reports back saves weeks.

Preparing the first stay. Furniture delivery and assembly, commissioning the appliances, post-works cleaning, arrival groceries. Taken one by one these are simple tasks, impossible to stack up remotely without someone on the ground.

Letting between stays. A pied-a-terre occupied four to six weeks a year raises the question of what happens the rest of the year. The answer is rarely the same from one arrondissement to another, depending on the co-ownership rules and the local rules on furnished lettings: it is a question to settle before buying, not after.

None of these three requests belongs to the property hunter’s job, which stops at the acquisition. They are its direct extension, and that is why we point our clients to providers we know.

Which luxury concierge firms operate in Paris?

The Paris market reads better in families than in a ranking. International networks, often backed by a hotel group or a private club, such as John Paul (acquired by the Accor Group) or Quintessentially, sell global cover and a contacts book. Independent Paris firms sell the opposite: proximity, a contact who knows the building, the managing agent and the local tradespeople. Private banks and family offices, finally, build a concierge desk into their wealth offering, usually subcontracted to one of the first two families.

The right choice depends on the profile, not on the reputation. An expatriate living in Paris year-round does not have the same needs as an investor who owns a pied-a-terre and stays four weeks a year. The first wants flexibility and responsiveness across varied requests; the second wants a property closed eleven months out of twelve to be watched, maintained and ready on the day.

Five points separate the offers far more reliably than the name:

1. The hours actually covered, written into the contract, not stated in the meeting.
2. Whether your contact is dedicated or shared, and what happens while they are on leave.
3. How advanced costs are handled: any margin taken, the threshold for prior approval, the receipts provided.
4. The commitment period, automatic renewal, and the exit terms.
5. The insurance cover if a provider appointed by the concierge firm causes damage.

Do you need a concierge after buying in Paris?

It becomes useful above all for a non-resident owner, in the months following the handover of keys. 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.

For an owner who lives in Paris the trade-off is different: the issue is no longer distance but available time, and a pay-per-request arrangement is often enough where an annual subscription would be oversized.

Some of our clients ask us for concierge recommendations after their acquisition. It is a natural extension of the support provided by a property hunter in Paris: 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, and our page for expatriate and international buyers explains how a search run from abroad actually unfolds.
