If later this month you find yourself flying into LA by private jet, staying in a Hollywood mansion and rubbing shoulders with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence at the Oscars, you’re either a big-shot in the entertainment industry — or have spent £200,000 on a concierge service that lets you do just that.

The eye-watering cost, for two people, includes travel from London to Los Angeles with champagne and a five-star menu, served by a team of staff including a personal chef.

On arrival at LAX, ticket-holders are whisked off to a Hollywood mansion — previously used to film The Godfather and The Bodyguard — in a chauffeur-driven car available for the duration of the stay. The house comes with an on-site butler.

On the big night, the pair will be suited and booted by a stylist to the stars, before travelling to the Oscars. After enjoying the ceremony from a top table, they will be invited to the after-parties, where they could mingle with award-winners — or losers — such as Eddie Redmayne, Cate Blanchett, Brie Larson, Matt Damon and Michael Fassbender.

The package is being offered by members service Innerplace Concierge. The firm, based in Fitzrovia, is owned by Tim Badham, who styles himself as the “man who sells Hollywood”. His service offers members, who pay a sign-up fee of £75 and then a monthly fee of £50, access to some of the best tables at London restaurants including Beaufort House, Clos Maggiore and The Dorchester as well as the best rooms at The Corinthia and The Langham hotels.

Mr Badham said: “We’ve created a golden ticket to Hollywood. Everyone wants to be a part of Hollywood’s most glamorous night and we’re able to provide a completely A-list experience — for those who can afford it.”

“If you’re a lover of film, celebrities and living large, a weekend like this is about as impressive as it gets.”

The 88th Academy Awards will take place on February 28 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
