Hotels With Butler Service
Indulge in the luxury of hotel butler service…
For the perfect luxury holiday, minimise stress and maximise time spent relaxing, soaking up the sunshine and making the most of the wonderful location you have chosen to visit.
Guaranteeing an extraordinary and memorable holiday experience, a hotel butler allows you to enjoy a dedicated and personalised service throughout your stay. With the goal of making guests feel at home, butlers pride themselves on delivering a high level of service to customers who expect the best.
Below we’ve put together a selection of luxury hotels with butler service to ensure your next stay is utterly opulent.
What is Butler Service?
This may sound like an outdated term you would associate more with tv shows such as Downton Abbey than modern hotels, yet the butler service offered at luxury hotels is far from old-fashioned.
Retaining elements from the original job description, of tending to a customers’ needs and desires, a butler service (also termed a concierge service by some hotels) involves highly trained staff providing a specialised service that goes beyond what is expected, to give guests a truly luxurious experience.
It can be difficult to tell the roles of a butler and a concierge apart. In the past a butler has been known to provide a more personalised service carrying out duties both inside and outside the room, while a concierge focuses on duties solely outside the room. However, the differences seem to be fading as hotels work hard to provide an increasingly bespoke service, with duties carried out including helping with speedy check in, pressing clothes, running a rejuvenating bath and even accompanying guests outside the hotel.
This service is not offered in every hotel and in those in which butlers operate, the services vary greatly. The list below includes some of our finest 5 star hotels that offer outstanding butler service…
