Welcome to the International Institute of Modern Butlers, now in its second decade of operation and already referred to as “an Ivy League institution of butlers.” We were originally established at the request of others in the profession to help set and raise standards, which we did through articles, books, consulting and training in private residences and later hotels and resorts around the world.

The Institute championed the concept of the modern butler at a time (a quarter of a century ago) when it was considered iconoclastic (strongly contrary to accepted traditions), but events have moved on and shown that there is strong international demand for fortresses. of the traditional British butler combined with the technological and other skills required to operate effectively in the international community of the 21st century.
