What is Quintessentially?

Quintessentially is one of the world's most established luxury lifestyle management companies, founded in 2000 by Ben Elliot. With offices in over 60 cities, they provide a human concierge service covering travel, dining, events, and personal services.

Their membership-based model means you pay an annual fee for access to their team. Tiers range from "Dedicated" (several thousand per year) to "Elite" and "Quintessentially" (£25,000+). Some services incur additional fees on top of the membership.

Quintessentially has an excellent reputation for high-touch service, particularly for UHNW clients who need global coverage and bespoke event access.

Why choose Stirling Access?

It's free. We don't charge membership fees. We earn commission from providers when you book through us — this means our recommendations are always in your interest, and you never pay more than going direct.

It's instant. Our AI concierge responds in seconds, not hours. Available 24/7, whether you're booking a last-minute flight at midnight or looking for a table on Saturday evening.

We specialise in aviation. Born from a private aviation intelligence platform, we have deep broker relationships, live aircraft tracking, and route cost intelligence that generalist concierge services can't match.

No commitment. Use us once or every week. There's no annual contract, no cancellation fee, and no obligation.
