Lionel Lorans is a Clefs d’Or member since 1988. He is the Chef Concierge at the Raphael Hotel, Paris.

In 1994 he joined the National Steering Committee under Pierre Porte’s presidency. During that period of time he attended working sessions with Jean Gillet. He will be a member of all the steering committees where he became National advisor, National secretary then Vice President.

He is currently the French National Clefs d’or President for a 3 year period. He also is the International President’s representative in Paris.

He is an ardent defender of the initial spirit which led Pierre Quentin to creative the Clefs d’or association in 1929.

He likes to recall that if the association still exists today after 80 years, and if it resisted to time it is thanks to the fact that it always remained faithful to its fundamentals, a friendly association gathering exclusively hotel concierges.

Mindful of the important development of Luxury Hotels in France and the increasing needs of qualified hotel concierges, he participated in 2007 with Roger Bastoni and Stéphane Duval-Gounari, to the establishment of a new hotel concierge education program. This class is free of charge, the “FPE Concierge d’hôtel”; was put in place with the French Education Department where 15 Future Hotel Concierges are trained.

In September 2011 will start the 5^th promotion.

As Representative of the International President in Paris (head office of the U.I.C.H) he is in charge of the follow up of the various administrative tasks and centralizes all the official documents.

He launched 5 years ago with Pierre Pinchemel a huge study on the Clefs d’Or history which led to the publication of a historical booklet and a meticulous filling of all the archives.
