Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use my butler?
Not at all. Some guests use their butler constantly; others just for dinner reservations and an evening canapé. Tell them what you like.
Is there a difference between a butler and a concierge?
Generally, a butler serves you in your suite (unpacking, in-suite dining, drinks), while a concierge handles reservations, excursions and requests from a lounge or desk. Many suite programs offer both.
