Introduction

The concierge service has evolved from the traditional doorman to comprehensive hospitality management in prime residential: 24/7 concierge, security, maintenance, lifestyle, and amenities. In luxury apartments in central Madrid (Salamanca, Recoletos, Justicia) and in residences associated with hotel brands, the concierge has become a value driver that impacts sale price, luxury rentals, and the owner’s day-to-day experience.

What does a good residential concierge include?

• Front desk 24/7: parcels, vendors, coordination of access and viewings.
• Facility & maintenance: breakdowns, cleaning, technical inspections.
• Amenities: management of spa, gym, pool, lounge, and social spaces.
• Lifestyle: bookings for fine dining, culture, mobility, and events.
• Security: monitoring, access protocols, coordination with the building.

Models in Madrid

Branded private residences: the most visible example in the historic center is the complex with a five-star hotel + residences, where residents access spa, fitness, pool, lounge, and valet with hospitality standards. This “hotel-like” format aligns luxury, service, and trophy location for international buyers.

Prime buildings with reinforced concierge: in Barrio de Salamanca and prime axes, projects have consolidated with concierge, security, technology, energy efficiency, and high-level common areas. The result is a premium experience in serviced luxury apartments.

Why a concierge adds value to your property

• Differentiation: in a market with little prime new-build, professional services boost appeal versus comparable assets.
• Higher amenity usage: pool, gym, and social club are enjoyed year-round.
• Superior rents: in corporate and mid-stay leasing, 24/7 concierge improves occupancy and pricing.
• International perception: UHNWI/HNWI profiles seek discretion, convenience, and security equivalent to a five-star hotel.

How to choose a home with concierge

• SLA and scope: what the service covers, hours, and response times.
• Governance: provider, budget, hiring policies, and staff rotation.
• Privacy and data: information handling, access, and CCTV.
• Amenity quality: condition, capacity, booking system, and preventive maintenance.
• Cost vs. value: weigh the community fee against the price/rent premium the service brings.
