agree  jccantrell: As you are appealing to an upscale clientele, I vote here rather than for the German equivalent. Has the same meaning, but this "riecht nach teuer" and therefore more exclusive.

Concierge


Explanation:
Hausmeister oder Pförtner sind zwar auch richtig, da der Stil aber offenbar etwas gehobener sein darf (Exklusivangebote!), würde ich im Deutschen "Concierge" übernehmen.

Ihr persönlicher Portier


Explanation:
wäre mein Vorschlag.

Concierge erinnert mich stark an Hausmeister, und das meinen die hier ja wohl kaum, sondern eher jemanden, der Türen öffnet.

Meine Katzen würden "Türöffner" sagen ;-)
