Select, the premier private membership community and concierge service that unlocks special access, savings, and VIP treatment with premier brands and venues across the world, has officially expanded to Dallas.

Since its founding in 2015, Select has welcomed over 30,000 members. Designed for discerning individuals seeking more than traditional loyalty programs or luxury credit cards can offer, Select delivers unparalleled benefits and a seamless digital concierge experience. Today, its network spans over 1.5 million locations globally—far eclipsing legacy programs, even those associated with Centurion and elite lifestyle memberships.

Members enjoy privileged access to unpublished rates of up to 60% off at hundreds of thousands of hotels and VIP status and upgrades at many of the world’s top-tier resorts, from Four Seasons and Rosewood to Ritz-Carlton and Waldorf Astoria. Select’s dining perks include significant savings, complimentary amenities, and VIP treatment at leading restaurants—now extending to Dallas’ dynamic culinary scene with partners including standout favorites such as La Stella Cucina Verace, Little Daisy, Felix Culpa, Catbird, and Ellie’s Restaurant and Lounge among others.

Beyond hospitality, Select members unlock private offers with global brands including Ferragamo, BMW, Sonos, Tumi, Diptyque, Royal Caribbean, and Maui Jim. With discounts often reaching up to 60% off. Members can even access preferred pricing on business essentials including Google Cloud, Hubspot, Apple products, UPS, & more.

Furthermore, members also gain access to premier events around the world. From Fashion Week in New York and Paris to Formula 1 races, Art Week, The Masters, and the Emmys, Select offers members the opportunity to experience some of the world’s most coveted cultural moments with preferred access and elevated hospitality.

Founder and CEO Carlo Cisco created Select to bridge the gap between exceptional individuals and exceptional experiences and brands.

“We envisioned a community where access, opportunity, and experience converge—enhancing the way people live and businesses engage,” Cisco shared. “Our members are global, forward-thinking, and discerning—and Select is designed to meet them where they are and where they aspire to be.”

Select has also recently added a very exciting addition to the program: The Select Syndicate. The Select Syndicate enables accredited investors to invest in curated, high-growth, private market opportunities. Members are already investing alongside Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, Sam Altman, and Citi Ventures. Select members can co-invest in the next wave of breakout companies, from game-changing startups like Primer, an innovative platform transforming education through self-directed, project-based learning, to Rent App, streamlining rent payments and communication for millions of independent landlords and renters. You’ll also get access to coveted late-stage deals with companies like Databricks, Lambda, and even SpaceX before they hit the public markets.

Dallas is a natural expansion for Select and hundreds of local members are taking advantage of a growing curated roster of benefits across Dallas’ top hotels, restaurants, sports teams, and experiences.

To receive Select benefits, prospective members apply through a simple but competitive process. Cisco notes that the community’s median individual income is $250K and the average member earns $603K annually, though he notes that character, ambition, and alignment with the community’s values are equally important as financial metrics during the membership application process.

Once accepted, members receive a personalized black titanium membership card and full access to Select’s global platform for $695/year. Dallas-area residents will be able to apply for membership at a preferred rate for a limited time.

In addition to lifestyle benefits, Select offers the Select Spotlight Series, where all members can engage with and learn from industry-leading entrepreneurs, investors, and executives through intimate virtual and in-person events. The majority of the Spotlight Series guests are members of the Select community. They include investors managing $1B+, unicorn founders, elected officials, and more.

Members also have access to Select’s dedicated concierges via live chat. Select’s concierge team—based entirely in-house and trained with local expertise—offers members personalized recommendations, travel planning, and bespoke access to dining, hotels, and activities globally. Select’s in-house team includes concierges who previously worked with industry leaders including Quintessentially and the Four Seasons.

Select serves members across all 50 states and 14 countries, with plans for continued international expansion fueled by its best-in-class hotel and lifestyle programs.

“We’ve seen consistent strong demand for Select in Texas, especially Dallas and Houston. We’ve steadily added local dining and entertainment partners to meet that demand, but those additions will continue to accelerate as the local communities grow,” said Cisco. With Dallas and Houston officially launched, and Austin underway, the company expects a robust membership community across the state. Cisco also noted that Texas already accounts for nearly 8% of Select’s total membership and he expects it to pass 10% before the end of the year.

To celebrate its Dallas debut, Select is planning an exclusive, members-only launch event later this year.
