U.I.C.H. “Les Clefs d’Or” International Executive Committee and President of the organization, Anders Ølsted Jensen.
Les Clefs d’Or is the biggest professional association of hotel concierges, with approximately 4000 members working in over 80 countries and 530 destinations, in literally every corner of the world.
For the majority of the Leadership Team, it was the first time ever visiting Qatar and they were impressed when the team of La Cigale Hotel guided them through the property showcasing some of the most luxurious suites and restaurants.
Luqman Shahid, Chief Concierge of La Cigale Hotel and actual Member at Les Clefs d’Or® International could not feel more proud of being one of the first colleagues to welcome them to Doha.
With roots dating back to 1929, Les Clefs d’Or was officially founded in France in 1952 as a not-for-profit organization based on two pillars: Service and Friendship. Before earning the right to wear the golden keys, those who aspire to become a member must have several years of experience as a hotel concierge, pass comprehensive testing and prove, beyond doubt, their ability to deliver the highest quality of service.
