An article dedicated to making shine what already dazzles: we’re talking about gold, and about one of the most prestigious, sought-after, and rewarding professions in the luxury hotel world — the Clefs d’Or concierge.

By 2030, it will be a full century since the art of premium travel and hospitality service has been shaped by the discreet, expert recommendations of Clefs d’Or members — concierges who are the beating heart of guest service in the world’s finest hotels.

Les Clefs d’Or is not just an association, founded in 1930; it is a professional brotherhood bound by deep friendship and a constant exchange of advice and client requests, connecting over 500 destinations across the globe.
We’re talking about travel — golden travel, to be exact — placed in the most expert hands, the kind that open not just the doors of your hotel, but all the doors to your destination.



In golden hotels, towels turn into elephants, you can dine at a secluded table with a sea view, attend a sold-out show in town at the last minute, board a plane without worrying about the ticket, and travel with the peace of mind that every detail is handled. Client service is not an empty promise for the Clefs d’Or.



More than 4,000 concierges worldwide uphold this level of excellence and belong to this highly selective network. After a demanding probation period, they earn the right to wear the iconic golden keys — an international symbol of hospitality perfection — created in partnership with the Bucherer maison in 1998.



So, if you plan to leave Belgium this September for a journey whose sole mission is to recharge you with moments of pure happiness, make sure to entrust that mission to a golden hotel — one that offers the services of a Clefs d’Or concierge.
