On call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year in 60 cities worldwide, Quintessentially is the world's leading luxury lifestyle group and concierge service. Creating bespoke experiences for its members, the Quintessentially service is normally reserved for members only, but after the group's first Hong Kong media "day out", a taste of the service is being extended to the public for the first time ever until 15th April 2011.

The media day out combined a quintessentially British high tea, a surprise performance from a singing waitress from England, a unique indoor

golf adventure courtesy of City Links Golf Lounge and a pampering surprise from the Spa L'OCCITANE therapists.

Bespoke experiences previously organised by Quintessentially for members around the world include:

• Closing the Adidas flagship store in Hong Kong for a VIP member, the former World Footballer to private shop on one condition.

• Arranging for two members to climb the Sydney Opera House in Australia to view the fireworks at midnight on New Year's Eve - a world first.

• Closing down the Pyramids in Egypt so a member could host a private party for 300 people.

• Organising an epic, action-packed Indiana Jones-style adventure in Jordan involving training by ex-MI6 agents with missions including uncovering hidden treasures in the desert, rescuing hostages in densely populated market places and private access to the ruins of Petra.

• Arranging for a British premiership footballer to visit a member's home in Hertfordshire,UK and have a kick around with his twin sons on their birthday.

Ms Su-Mei Thompson, a Quintessentially Member in Hong Kong and CEO of The Women's Foundation, formerly Managing Director of the Financial Times in Asia and Senior Vice President of Christie's Asia, said, "Quintessentially has provided me with countless solutions to my practical problems and recommendations tailored to my preferences, interests and personality. I even handed the organisation, planning and booking of my mother's 80th birthday celebration in Kuala Lumpur to my Dedicated Account Manager, which she pulled off perfectly!"
