Why do you need this second person? In case there are changes to the reservation?
Isn’t that what they’re there for?! It’s like: „Nice slide consultant X, here‘s a $50 tip.“ That’s what they do for a living and it’s covered by the prices the hotel charges you.
You want white glove service, you tip the white glove providers. If you ask for help with a single dinner reservation, that’s a thank you and maybe a small tip. A full 3-day arrangement? You tip big.
Made all the reservations, or just made suggestions? If they did the work, $100 feels appropriate. If they just printed out "three great days in Paris" or something you could have googled, and made a few recommendations... $20? But, like MD1 said - great relationship to build if they're going the extra mile.
Suggestions, consultation, and reservation. $100 it is.

What hotel and city is this? Curious
Eden Roc St Barth’s. Phenomenal.

$100-200 the concierge relationship is priceless - get you access to reservations (nightclubs/ resturants/ events) in the city and beyond!
100 euro may work better!
I typically do 100 plus a wine bottle especially if you want to build the relationship
Well, they sent me to a pretty tacky yet very expensive tourist trap last night. Type of place they would only recommend with a kick back and it was definitely the type of place that gave kick backs.
We’ll talk to the hotel about it though and see what they say.
Ha - those two places I specifically requested and enjoyed thoroughly!
