The Bell Captain and Bellhops
In America, the bell captain, a position found in most medium to large hotels, is an individual of great importance to the reputation of a lodging establishment. The bell captain or one of his or her staff is often the first individual a guest meets upon arrival. The bell captain trains and supervises all bellhops, all those who usher arriving guests to their rooms and carry their luggage.
Bell captains supervise the hotel's attendants and valet parking crew. Bell captains, bellhops, and door and valet parking attendants depend on tips for a large portion of their income. It is considered customary to tip a bellhop about $ 1 for each bag carried. A hotel door attendant can expect on average a $1 to $2 tip for hailing a taxi.
Vocabulary Notes
