Butler

The term “butler” dates back to the 17th century, with noble historical roots and origin in the french word “bouteillier,” which means “guardian of the bottles,” in aristocratic households. In the 18th century, the butler service was known as “silver service,” where butlers used silver trays to serve food to the nobility.

This method of serving is still used in some high-end dining establishments today.

This service is a true expression of luxury and dedication to excellence in customer service. For those who work in this field, it is a unique opportunity to be part of a noble tradition and provide truly unforgettable experiences.

SOMMELIER

Sommeliers, in addition to being true wine experts, are genuine connoisseurs of culinary nuances and are dedicated to advising and providing the perfect pairing between wines and dishes.

Their passion for the world of oenology and the delights of gastronomy motivates them to constantly enhance their knowledge, offering enriching experiences to wine and culinary enthusiasts worldwide.

Originating in France, the word ‘sommelier’ conjures images of nobles who once tasted wine for monarchs, ensuring its quality and purity and ensuring it was not poisoned. Today, they are the guardians of flavor, leading us to culinary destinations we could only imagine.

Concierge

With its origins in France, the word “concierge” personifies the image of a “guardian of the keys,” a figure dedicated to care and detail. Much more than just making reservations at restaurants or theaters, the concierge is now the master of unforgettable experiences.

Their mission is to ensure that each guest has not only a comfortable stay but an experience filled with magical and memorable moments. At the heart of a luxury establishment, they are the bridge between the dreams of customers and reality.

CHEF'S JACKET

When we see a chef’s jacket, we are immediately transported to a world of flavor, dedication, and culinary art. Also known as a “chef’s coat,” this emblematic garment has its roots in 19th-century France.

Historically worn by cooks in the french army, its white color was not merely an aesthetic whim. It was, in fact, a symbol of hygiene and a commitment to cleanliness in the culinary arts. More than just a piece of clothing, the chef’s jacket represents tradition, honor, and the inherent fervor of the profession.

Today, in many kitchens, especially in more formal ones, the color and design of the jacket can indicate the level or position of the chef. For example, the head chef may wear a slightly different jacket than their sous chefs or line cooks

WINDSOR KNOT

Just like the Duke of Windsor, who elevated fashion to an unparalleled level of sophistication, the Windsor knot epitomizes the pursuit of excellence and refinement. Similarly, in luxury hospitality, we tirelessly seek perfection.

Every detail is meticulously prepared, like the Windsor knot, to create exceptional experiences. In formal events and special moments, the elegance of this knot reflects our dedication to making each stay memorable, transforming them into truly sophisticated and refined moments.

Turndown

The turndown service originated in luxury European hotels in the 19th century. Traditionally performed in the evening, butlers were responsible for preparing the guest’s room for the night, which included turning down the bed, adjusting the lighting to create a more welcoming ambiance, and leaving some complimentary treats like chocolates and water.

It is considered a thoughtful gesture as it adds a special touch to the guest’s stay, making it more relaxing and comfortable.

It is another demonstration of the care and dedication that hotels have to offer a unique and welcoming experience to their visitors. Many butlers now have the responsibility to discreetly investigate guests’ preferences before their arrival, ensuring that every detail, from pillow type to dietary preferences, is perfectly aligned.
