Ever wondered what life is like as a Quintessentially member? Well, now you don’t have to – we’re giving you an exclusive look into our world. We make magic happen for our members, wherever they are and with whatever they need. Without us, they wouldn’t have tickets to sold-out concerts, front-row seats to fashion shows, and spots on invite-only guest lists.  

With 35+ offices worldwide, we make it our mission to ensure our members live a life without limits. Every day, we open the door to the world’s most exclusive events – and last month was no different. So, without further ado, here’s what our members got up to in January…

Burns Night

To help our members get into the Scottish spirit, our restaurant specialists secured the best tables for Burns Night celebrations across London. The banquet-style evenings were filled with plenty of tartan, the sound of bagpipes, traditional haggis, wee drams of whisky, ceilidh dancing, and live poetry readings.  

London Art Fair

In December last year, we tracked down VIP tickets for Art Basel Miami Beach, and in January this year, we arranged access to London Art Fair’s preview evening. Our members were among the first to explore the fair’s 120+ galleries, while sipping complimentary drinks courtesy of Sipsmiths.

The Golden Globe Awards

Across the pond, our stateside members were right in the thick of the red-carpet and ceremony, rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. We ensured everything went swimmingly and even attained access to select line-up of exclusive after-parties. 

The Australian Open

Heather Watson might have sat this one out, but our Aussie members didn’t. We swung into action to ensure they were welcomed into the Ralph Lauren hospitality suite with Champagne on arrival. Then, they sat down for a three-course dinner before being escorted to Category 1 premium match seating to watch the annual tennis tournament.

A supper club at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal 

Quintessentially Dubai started the year with a bang, hosting a Michelin-starred dinner in the Middle East. The ultra-intimate, invitation-only evening was limited to just 12 guests, seated around the private dining room’s sapele and rosewood oval table. 

The Ritz-Carlton Cayman Cookout

Across five days, our members dipped in and out of chef-led tastings, live music dinners, and the Barefoot BBQ along Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach. The cherry on top was a Wheels Up Journey to GoldenEye in Jamaica, hosted by three-Michelin-starred chef Eric Ripert.
