The Baptiste house mark

The Concierge

The people behind the request.

Every Baptiste engagement is held by a small team of senior specialists. Each has spent a career inside the houses, kitchens, ateliers, and institutions they now open to our clients.

They are not generalists. They are practitioners who have kept the relationships, the discretion, and the standard.

The Division

Principal Specialists

We present our specialists by their craft rather than their names. Discretion begins with our own team. What matters here is the standard each one holds and the qualifications behind the title.

01

Lead Concierge

France and United Kingdom · 19 years · Global oversight, anchored in Paris and London

Our lead concierge sets the standard that every member of the division follows. Trained through Le Bristol Paris and Claridge’s and certified by Les Clefs d’Or, this is the specialist who built the Baptiste concierge practice from its first day. The defining qualification is anticipation, the detail attended to before it is ever requested.

02

Travel and Accommodations Director

Italy and Switzerland · 24 years · Europe and Asia-Pacific

Our travel director composes the architecture of arrival. Private aviation, ground transfers, the precise category of a room and the view from its windows are treated as the emotional overture to everything that follows. The qualification that sets this role apart is memory: the floor plans of the recommended houses are known by heart.

03

Dining and Wine Curator

France and United Kingdom · 23 years · Europe and North America

A Master Sommelier, one of fewer than three hundred in the world, curates the table. Relationships with chefs and sommeliers reach across two decades and several three-star dining rooms, and a restaurant is judged on the whole of its experience rather than the plate alone.

04

Entertainment and Events Specialist

Russia and United Kingdom · 19 years · London, Continental Europe, and North America

Our entertainment specialist secures the moments that are not meant to be available. Concert and theatre access, private performances, gallery openings, and sporting hospitality are arranged with discretion and an instinct for what a client will remember long after the evening ends.

05

Luxury Goods and Personal Services

Nigeria and France · 15 years · Paris, London, and the global fashion capitals

This specialist navigates the houses of fashion and fine goods from the inside. Seasoned in buying at Hermes and personal shopping at Harrods, the role sources the limited, the bespoke, and the all but impossible, and holds the relationships that make early access a matter of course.

06

Art and Cultural Liaison

France · 21 years · Paris, London, and the global art markets

Raised in an art-world family and seasoned at Christie’s and Gagosian, our cultural liaison advises on acquisition, auction strategy, and the design of a cultural itinerary. A room of collectors is read as fluently as a canvas.

07

Venue and Space Specialist

France and United Kingdom · 18 years · London and Continental Europe

Our venue specialist finds the room that should not exist: the private palazzo, the gallery opened after hours, the space that turns an occasion into a memory. Atmosphere is assessed with an interior designer’s eye and a host’s intuition.

08

Nightlife and Social Director

Portugal and Scotland · 16 years · London, Europe, and select global cities

Our social director moves through the scene with discretion earned across the most demanding rooms in the world. Private clubs, late dining, and the right table on the right evening are arranged without friction and without a trace.

09

Mixology and Beverage Consultant

France and Japan · 13 years · Paris, Tokyo, and London

Trained at The Savoy’s American Bar and shaped by the bar cultures of Paris and Tokyo, our beverage consultant designs programmes and bespoke cocktails for private occasions. The work bridges classical technique and Japanese precision.

10

Personal Butler and Lifestyle Attache

United Kingdom · 24 years · United Kingdom and private households worldwide

Service learned within the Royal Household and refined across ultra-luxury residences. This role manages the private rhythm of a household, from etiquette and protocol to the wellness and maintenance details that allow a day to unfold effortlessly.

Global Reservations

The Reservation Desk

A dedicated desk holds the maitre d' relationships across the world's dining capitals and ensures coverage at every hour, in every time zone.

01

Senior Reservation Concierge

France · 16 years · Europe and Asia-Pacific

From a three-generation auberge family, our senior reservation concierge holds the maitre d’ relationships and the cultural fluency that turn a difficult booking into a settled certainty across Europe and Asia-Pacific.

02

Reservation Concierge, Americas

United States and Japan · 12 years · New York, Los Angeles, and Miami

This desk carries the dining networks of the Americas and a bridge between American and Japanese culinary culture, securing the tables that define a season in the cities that set the pace.

03

Reservation Concierge, Middle East, Africa, and Off-Hours

Iran and United Arab Emirates · 11 years · Middle East, Africa, and around-the-clock coverage

This desk holds the Gulf dining scene and the wider region, and anchors the team’s off-hours coverage so that a request placed at any hour is met by someone awake to answer it.
