Premium companionship. Confidential. 24/7.
Every companion is carefully selected for elegance, intelligence, and charm
Real questions from APEX clients in Chicago: matching, booking, hotels, travel, dress code, payment, confidentiality.
On average 30 to 90 minutes. At peak (Thursday to Saturday from 21:00) — closer to 90. On a weekday afternoon — 20 to 30. If the scenario has a specific dress code or a language requirement — add 20 to 30.
Yes, it's one of our common scenarios. But the choice in two hours is narrower than a week ahead — the most-requested models are already in play from six in the evening. If you want a specific one, write earlier.
At most hotels on Magnificent Mile and Gold Coast — Waldorf Astoria, Four Seasons Chicago, The Peninsula, Park Hyatt, Ritz-Carlton, The Langham, Pendry — in a "client's guest" format no questions arise at reception, provided everything is done correctly. At smaller boutiques and hotel apartments they may ask for an ID — that's normal, the model is ready.
Yes, 24/7. Late-night hours are an ordinary working slot in Chicago, especially Friday into Saturday and Saturday into Sunday. The manager replies, models travel. Morning meetings (before 11:00) happen too, less often.
Oak Brook, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Hinsdale, Naperville — we work in the standard format with transfer factored into the time calculation. Trips beyond Cook County (Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan) — a separate format, more often inside the "weekend" scenario, agreed two to three days ahead. O'Hare and Midway airports for transit guests — standard practice.
Business-formal: dark suit, minimum jewellery, restrained makeup. For the business segment we keep a separate pool of models — they understand meeting etiquette, don't stand out from the corporate audience, hold English at a business level.
Yes, that's standard practice. If the model has the requested slot free — we book her. Returning clients often work with one or two models. If the slot is taken — we'll suggest a comparable alternative.
English — for the entire Chicago base. Russian — with some of the models (Chicago is one of the cities with a large Russian-speaking community). Spanish, Portuguese, French, Chinese — selectively. When you ask, specify the level: small talk or business.
Cash USD — everywhere. Zelle and domestic wire transfers — through the manager. Crypto (USDT TRC-20/ERC-20, BTC) — by agreement. Returning clients — post-payment, deposit arrangements, flexible terms. Credit cards are not accepted.
In most cases — a 30-50% deposit a day before the meeting, the balance on meeting. Exact terms are set by the manager depending on the scenario and the amount. For returning clients a deposit usually isn't required.
Discussed immediately, not after the fact. If on meeting it's clear the format isn't what was agreed — write to the manager that same hour. Depending on the cause: refund of part of the fee, replacement, scenario adjustment. Cases like this run under 2% and usually trace back to incomplete brief at the coordination stage.
Yes. We call it "client's private location". For a first meeting with a new client we usually suggest one of our proven options (hotel, restaurant). For returning clients — your address is agreed without further discussion. The address isn't kept on file; it's passed only to the specific model for the specific meeting.
Yes, we have 48 cities. If you need a companion for a trip (New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Toronto) — the manager either picks up our model from the destination city, or arranges a Chicago model to travel with you (flight, accommodation, fee). The second option — from 24 hours and up.
From 24 hours to 7 days. The model accompanies you: breakfast together, daytime activities, evening by agreement. Trips — Las Vegas, Miami, New York, Toronto, getaways to Aspen and Napa Valley. All travel, accommodation and meals — on the client; the model's fee separate, agreed before departure.
Yes, a separate category with separate pricing. Two hours from $3,500, four hours from $5,500, the rest by agreement. Access opens after several successful collaborations and becoming a returning client. We don't put new contacts into this category.
Each profile goes through three stages: photo verification (current photos, not old ones), an in-person meeting with a manager, a trial format (a short meeting, level assessment). We take fewer than one in twenty. We check education, English, ability to hold a conversation, manners, scenario experience.
A separate part of the base — models with experience of cultural events. They know the Lyric Opera repertoire, are familiar with the Art Institute collection, follow the dress code. For premieres and the Gala — full-length dress, restrained jewellery. Booked five to ten days ahead, rarely for tonight.
We keep only what's needed for the current meeting. After the meeting, addresses, details, photos are wiped from working chats within 72 hours. Client data — name, phone, payment details — held only with the manager, access restricted. Not shared with third parties. We follow GDPR practices; deletion on request — within 24 hours.
Communication only through messengers (Telegram, WhatsApp). It's not a reluctance to talk — it's a deliberate position. All meeting details should be in writing for accuracy, and end-to-end encrypted messaging is more reliable than ordinary phone lines. For urgent matters messengers respond faster.
Free of charge — minimum 12 hours ahead. Later — a compensation share (usually 30% of the fee, if the model is already en route). Cancellation an hour before the meeting on the day — payment of half the slot. Rescheduling with the same model — no penalty if she's free.
Chicago is one of the keystone American cities of our network. Since 2012 and across 48 cities of operation we've built direct relationships in Chicago with the five-star hotels of Magnificent Mile and Gold Coast, the maître d's of Fulton Market and West Loop, the concierge desks of the city's principal venues. The manager team is on shift 24/7, with replies on Telegram within 3 minutes around the clock.
For hotel meetings we use the five-star segment: Waldorf Astoria Chicago on Walton Street, Four Seasons Hotel Chicago on Delaware Place, The Peninsula Chicago on Superior Street, The Langham inside the Mies van der Rohe building on Wabash, The Ritz-Carlton inside Water Tower Place, Park Hyatt opposite the Water Tower. In each of these hotels we have a guest-reception procedure that takes no time from the client and raises no questions at reception.
The hotel choice depends on the scenario. For a business guest in town for one or two nights — Four Seasons or Park Hyatt dead-centre on the Mile. For private meetings with an emphasis on minimum public visibility — Waldorf Astoria in Gold Coast or Conrad in Streeterville. For clients of the Asian service school — The Peninsula. For architectural interest — The Langham or Pendry in the Carbide & Carbon Building. For the boutique format — Thompson in Gold Coast or Viceroy on State Street.
Dinner at a premium restaurant remains the most frequent request: Alinea and Smyth in West Loop, Oriole, Boka and Girl & The Goat in Fulton Market, Cecconi's at Soho House Chicago, Nobu in West Loop, Somerset in Viceroy, Travelle at The Langham. Hotel meetings — second most frequent. Business accompaniment in the Loop and West Loop — a regular format for clients in finance, law, the technology sector. Cultural programme — Lyric Opera, Chicago Symphony, Goodman Theatre, Joffrey Ballet. The sports segment — Soldier Field in Bears season (September–December), United Center, Wrigley Field. Weekends and trips — Lake Forest, Lake Geneva, getaways to Las Vegas, Miami, Aspen, Napa Valley.
Chicago has four annual peaks we prepare for separately. Lollapalooza in August (Grant Park, four days) — our densest period; prices on the Mile rise 30-50%, everything needs to be booked two to three weeks ahead. NFL Bears season (September–December) — home games on Sundays, plus a dense Friday-Saturday before the game. Chicago Marathon in October — the Friday before the marathon is the second-densest date of the year. Art Institute Gala in November and the Lyric Opera season — the cultural peak with full-length dresses and a formal dress code. Chicago Auto Show in February — the corporate format, dinners with international business guests.
Our clients in Chicago are owners and top managers of companies in tech, finance, law and real estate, international guests of the city visiting for conferences and sports events. The shared trait — a value placed on time, an understanding of etiquette, a need for service without snags. APEX doesn't take requests under two hours, mass events without a personal client, sharing of model photos with third parties. These boundaries let us hold the standard of service we've built over 12+ years in the industry.
Chicago pricing — from $1,200 for two hours to $6,500 for two days (standard segment: 2h $1,200 / 4h $1,800 / night $2,500 / day $4,000 / 2 days $6,500). Media-tier segment — from $3,500 for two hours, $5,500 for four hours, opens to returning clients after several successful collaborations. Payment — cash USD, Zelle, domestic wire transfers, crypto by agreement (USDT TRC-20/ERC-20, BTC). For returning clients — post-payment, deposit arrangements, individual terms.
Communication only through messengers with end-to-end encryption (Telegram, WhatsApp). Client data is held in protected form by the manager, with restricted access. After the meeting, addresses and details are wiped from working chats within 72 hours. Sharing information with third parties is architecturally impossible. We follow GDPR practices, deletion on request — within 24 hours. This is one of the reasons our returning Chicago clients have worked with us for years.
Returning client for two years. They work in different cities to the same standard — that is especially noticeable now as I move between countries often.
Confidentiality at the level of a Swiss bank. All communications on Telegram, nothing by email, nothing by SMS. After the meeting everything is wiped — I checked.
Dinner with partners — the format went well, the companion looked the part. One downside: the profile did not flag that the model smokes, I found out on site. Not critical, but I will ask next time.
Booked a companion for a four-day business trip. Visa, tickets, accommodation — all through my assistant, the model's fee on a separate track. Logistically clean.
In three years working with APEX there has not been a single meeting that made me want to switch agencies. That says a lot.
