bellhops
Hotel bag handlers
Bellhops is the plural of bellhop—a hotel employee who carries guests' luggage, escorts them to rooms, and handles similar tasks.
The name comes from the bell used to summon them: The bellhops scrambled when the tour bus arrived.
The role has declined with self-service expectations, though upscale hotels still employ them.
