rom show-stopping views to palatial bathrooms, travelers staying in high-end suites and staterooms enjoy many luxurious perks, but no other amenity oozes opulence quite like a dedicated butler. Butlers provide personalized service for guests, assisting with everything from unpacking luggage to having a favorite drink at the ready each day. We sat down with three hotel and cruise butlers — Chokhoni, a butler for Silversea; Gabriela Bolaños, a hotel butler for La Casa de la Playa in Mexico’s Riviera Maya; and Shameer Ampopilakkil, head butler for Regent Seven Seas Cruises — to discover how they might make your next vacation your most memorable one yet.
