Welcome to Ask A Concierge!
Hi there, I’m Sarah Dandashy, and I’m so glad you’re here!
So, who am I? I’m a verified TV travel expert, best-selling author, and TEDx keynote speaker with over 18 years of experience in luxury hospitality. My journey began as an award-winning concierge at one of the top hotels in Los Angeles, where I earned accolades and became a proud member of Les Clefs d’Or (The Gold Keys), the prestigious global concierge association.
A few years ago, while exploring creative projects, I was tasked with creating a vlog. Naturally, I spoke about what I knew best—what to do in Los Angeles. To my surprise, the content resonated not just with visitors, but also with locals, all eager to discover where to eat, stay, and explore. That’s how Ask A Concierge® was born!
What started as an extension of my concierge desk has grown into a multi-platform brand. Today, I share curated travel recommendations and insights not just for Los Angeles but for destinations across the U.S. and around the world. Whether it’s uncovering the latest luxury hotels, must-visit restaurants, or hidden gems, I aim to inspire people to travel, explore, and discover.
More Than Just a Concierge
With a social media following of over 250,000, I’ve become a trusted voice in the travel industry. I frequently collaborate with leading brands and share my expertise on major news networks like ABC, CBS, and FOX. My insights have been featured in top-tier publications such as The New York Times, Business Insider, Nerdwallet, and Reader’s Digest.
As the author of the #1 best-selling book, Hospitality From Within, I dive deeper into the principles of exceptional service and travel experiences. I also host two podcasts: the “Creators Podcast” for Visit West Hollywood and “Good Morning Hospitality” on LinkedIn Live.

Through Ask A Concierge, I hope to inspire travelers and dreamers alike—whether you’re a foodie, a thrill-seeker, the vacation planner of your family, or organizing an executive retreat. My mission is simple: to help you curate your best life, one experience at a time.
So, whether you’re looking for practical travel tips, exclusive industry insights, or just a bit of inspiration for your next adventure, you’ve come to the right place.
Cheers to new experiences—here in LA and around the world!
