Concierges for hotels, branded residences, private members clubs and luxury retail in Dubai. The concierge is the person who knows the city: books the restaurant everyone wants, arranges cars, yachts and desert trips, finds tickets, recommends the right place for the guest in front of them and solves the request that came in at midnight. In residences the concierge also handles deliveries, contractor access and residents' requests. We assess local knowledge, network and how the candidate handles a request that looks impossible.
Hire a conciergeLooking for a job?A concierge who gets the table, the car and the tickets when it looks impossible and tells the guest the truth when it really is.
A concierge is only as good as their network and their current knowledge of the city. The checks below test both, plus honesty with guests and suppliers.
How it differs from neighbouring roles: the receptionist handles arrivals and payments; the guest relations officer looks after VIPs and their satisfaction; the concierge arranges everything outside the building. A lifestyle manager does similar work privately for one family and adds household admin, travel planning and budgets, so a hotel concierge is not automatically ready for that role. Typical hiring mistakes: hiring for a smart appearance and a famous hotel on the CV without testing the network and current local knowledge; not agreeing clear rules on supplier commissions from the first day.
