Hotel Butler Ratings
The following hotels, resorts and cruise lines offer some form of butler service. We have rated only those that responded to our survey with a self-assessment, and those that have been rated by members of the IIMB or the public at large. In each case, we’ve indicated the source of the rating.
If you feel this list is incomplete, please contact the Institute. If you would like to submit a review or rating assessment, we encourage you to do so by using the form especially designed for this purpose, located on the Hotel Butler Rating page of our website.
For the convenience of our visitors, we have sorted hotels and resorts by country and by continent. Cruise lines are listed as a separate category towards the end of the document. Please scroll down, the list is quite long.
