Three ways to come
Choose how far we go.
One night and a table, or the whole stay from the moment you land in London. The ceremony itself belongs to its organisers.
None of this is a package. No seat for the ceremony is sold or guaranteed; availability and conditions of every option are confirmed before you commit.
What we compose
Four pieces around the night.
Not the ceremony: everything around it, in London.
Nothing is held in advance, and none of these pieces gives access to the ceremony. Every option is confirmed before you commit.
The stay
From the palace to the last drink.
What a stay composed by us looks like. The ceremony belongs to its guests; everything else, to you.
Afternoon
- Afternoon
The room
It is ready when you arrive. Time to settle in, have a late lunch, or do nothing at all.
- Evening
The table
While world football awaits its verdict, a table is held for you. Dinner runs at your pace.
- Night
London
The car is waiting outside. The Thames, the lit bridges: the city is yours.
- Later
The last drink
A quiet hotel bar, or a private club. The evening ends when you decide.
Indicative example: every stay is composed to measure, nothing is booked in advance. No seat for the ceremony is offered.
How we work
All you have to do is enjoy London.
- 01
Nothing promised that isn't ours
The ceremony is by invitation: we don't sell it and never imply otherwise. What we book, you have.
- 02
London, end to end
The palace, the tables, the football, the night and the car: one stay, thought through in one go.
- 03
One person
Your contact follows you from the first request to departure. You never explain anything twice.

Your enquiry
Tell us about the experience you have in mind. A dedicated concierge will return with confirmable options tailored to your priorities.
The Ballon d'Or ceremony is a private event, by personal invitation of its organisers. TGZ Conciergerie is an independent house, with no affiliation to France Football, the L'Équipe group or UEFA, and neither sells nor promises any seat for the evening. What we compose is the stay around the event — hotel, transfers, dining and programme; availability and conditions are confirmed to you before any commitment.
The detail
What to know before booking.
Monday 26 October 2026, in London — the first time the ceremony is held there. Times and venue are set by its organisers.
No. The ceremony and its dinner are reserved for the organisers' guests. We compose the stay around the night, never access to the hall.
Subject to fixtures, we arrange hospitality for a Premier League match in London the same weekend. We confirm it after a conversation.
As early as possible: the best London palaces and tables go fast during this period. For the hotel, the car and the tables, we favour changeable bookings, and flag any that are not before you commit.
