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 December…
Christmas members’ drinks
Photography is strictly forbidden inside this popular private members’ club in London, so we can’t show you any snaps from the event. We can, however, tell you about it: our HQ office hosted a complimentary evening for our Elite and Quintessence members. There was a magician, lots of Champagne and canapés, and Fortnum & Mason goody bags.
A Christmas wreath-making masterclass
We also secured spots at one of London’s best wreath-making workshops with Claridge’s Flowers. Our members got into the festive spirit by sipping glasses of Champagne, sitting down for a private session with some of the city’s top florists, and taking their handiwork and a Claridge’s Flowers apron home.

Early access to Esmeralda’s
The Mandarin Oriental Mayfair’s late-night lounge has quickly become one of London’s best new restaurants – and our members were among the first to experience it before it opens to the public. This exclusive evening featured a resident six-piece band and snacks like caviar-topped chicken nuggets.
The Christmas Meeting at Cheltenham Racecourse
Once again, our HQ office hosted members for a festive day in a box overlooking the finish line. The event was made extra special by our sponsored race, the Quintessentially Mares’ Handicap Chase, and expert insights from trainer Ben Pauling into the world of jump racing.

Art Basel Miami Beach
As the official concierge partner for Art Basel worldwide, our US-based team was on-site at Art Basel Miami Beach all week, ensuring our members experienced the very best the art fair had to offer. From providing VIP passes for collectors’ previews to securing reservations at sought-after restaurants, our sophisticated art services were there to help them make the most of every moment.
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Our UAE-based members sped off to the Yas Marina Circuit for the Formula 1 pre-qualifying race, lapping up all the action from the best seats on the track. They also made a pit stop at the W Hotel Abu Dhabi’s Skybridge Terrace for an after-race concert.

British Polo Day
We also secured two tables at this black-tie, invite-only event for a select number of sport-loving members. The day began with afternoon tea, followed by the opening ceremony, the annual Cavalry vs. Guards camel polo match, prize giving ritual, and The Royal Salute Dinner hosted by the Rosewood Abu Dhabi.
The brunch edition of Quintessentially Privé
This extra-special event proved that our Egypt office knows how to throw a party. To celebrate our 25th anniversary, the team hosted its first-ever brunch at Kazoku in New Cairo, alongside Mercedes-Benz Egypt, GlobalCorp, and Chivas Regal. And to top it all off, guests went home with bespoke goody bags.

Australian members’ drinks
There was double trouble Down Under this month. Our Aussie hosted not one, but two, members’ drinks. The first, in Melbourne, brought together private members and corporate clients over Champagne and canapés. The second, a week later in Sydney, saw us toasting the season with Lallier Champagne and LARK whisky.
