    If you travel often, spend three times as much on luxury goods than the average person and -- oh wait -- earn a starting salary of $150,000 or more, you may just be invited to LuxeInACity, your online private concierge.

    LuxeInACity is an exclusive invitation-only social luxury city guide that lets members interact with each other and top luxe companies. For its opulent members, the social guide features a wealth of luxury and travel-related information for 125 cities around the world and 50,000 luxury companies.

    The site provides luxury information and sights to see for all of its featured locations, including Anguilla, Paris, Cayman Islands, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Sydney, and many more.

    "We wanted to create a one-stop resource for luxury information," Roxanne Gernier, founder of LuxeInACity, told Mashable. "Every day we add luxury news, videos, blogs, etc., just to inform our members on what is going on in the luxury world."

    LuxeInACity also provides information for its featured categories which includes arts & culture, automobile, jewelry, restaurants, nightlife, boating, service, fashion, wine & spirits and villas. If members are searching for car dealerships for example, they can click on the "automobiles" category to find dealerships in a specific city.

    Along with the options to create a personalized profile and communicate with other members via private messages, LuxeInACity members also get free access to the following:

    • Luxe Events: International where to go and when to go calendar. Users can also post events and invite friends to attend.
    • Luxe Forums: Exclusive forum for members to discuss interesting topics.
    • Luxe News: Daily news from numerous international sources.
    • Luxe Videos: Entertaining videos from YouTube.
    • Luxe Blog: Engaging luxe blog written by the luxe team.

      • For $595 a year, LuxeInACity offers an enhanced profile on the site for luxury companies. The profile allows them to gain more visibility, upload unlimited pictures and videos and interact with members. Companies also get access to the private company area on the site, invitation rights to luxe social and get their company logo displayed in the Featured Company sections.

      LuxeInACity is self-funded, currently has 150 exclusive members and will publicly launch in late February.
