Sarah Dandashy

Concierge, Host, Writer, and Traveler

In this episode of How To Fail Successfully, I have a conversation with “Ask A Concierge” and Les Clefs d’Or Concierge, Sarah Dandashy. Sarah moved to LA to be an actress, producer, and screenwriter but it wasn’t until she decided to create her own brand that she became a nationally known Concierge by creating, producing, and starring in her own videos.

Follow along as Sarah takes us through her struggles of working a day job to make her dreams finally come true and listen as she shares the lessons she’s learned and how she found a way to have a sit-down with Hotel Impossible star Anthony Melchiorri.

Who is Sarah? 

Sarah Dandashy is recognized as one of the leading concierges in the world.

The gold keys she wears on her lapels reflect her status as a Les Clefs d’Or Concierge and guarantee her exclusive international access to little-known treasures in cities worldwide.

Sarah has worked at some of the most prestigious hotels, including The London Hotel, Four Seasons Washington DC, and The Peninsula and L’Ermitage in Beverly Hills.

Sarah single-handedly established the multiform brand “Ask A Concierge”:

• She hosts the online travel show, “Ask A Concierge”

• She has a very strong social media presence on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram

• She is a contributing columnist for LA Travel Magazine, NY Travel Magazine, and DiscoverLosAngeles.com for the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board.

Sarah’s education and travels make her an extraordinary concierge.

A graduate of Georgetown University with a degree in Foreign Service, she has lived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; London, England; Atlanta, GA; Washington, DC; and New York City. She has also traveled extensively throughout Europe, The Middle East, and US. Conversation in both French and Arabic, she can comfortably navigate the streets of Paris and negotiate her way through a Bedouin bazaar.
