When it comes to true luxury, it’s not just about plush beds or marble bathrooms — it’s about personalized service, exclusivity, and experiences that money can buy. In 2025, the benchmark for elite hospitality has risen, with the world’s top hotels offering not only breathtaking suites but also the ultimate amenity: a dedicated private butler. From secluded tropical resorts to iconic city landmarks, these properties deliver unmatched opulence for the ultra-wealthy traveler. Here’s a curated list of the top 10 most luxurious hotels in 2025, each offering private butler service that redefines personalized luxury.
1. The Royal Mansour – Marrakech, Morocco
Commissioned by King Mohammed VI himself, the Royal Mansour is a palace disguised as a hotel. Each guest resides in a private riad — a three-story Moroccan house — with intricate zellige tilework, ornate stucco, and rooftop terraces. What truly sets it apart is its invisible service system: butlers and staff move through underground tunnels to serve you discreetly. Whether you need your bath drawn with rose petals or a spontaneous candlelit dinner on the terrace, your personal butler handles it seamlessly. It’s not hospitality — it’s an art form.
2. The Bulgari Hotel – Tokyo, Japan
Opened in late 2024, the Bulgari Hotel Tokyo has quickly become one of the most sought-after addresses in Asia. Located in the Tokyo Midtown Yaesu district, this sleek architectural gem boasts Italian luxury in the heart of Japan. The Penthouse Suite, which spans over 4,000 square feet, includes a panoramic terrace and a private Japanese garden. Guests in the suite are assigned a dedicated lifestyle butler — fluent in multiple languages — who handles everything from custom sushi-making classes to luxury shopping appointments in Ginza.
3. Burj Al Arab Jumeirah – Dubai, UAE
Often referred to as the “world’s only 7-star hotel,” the Burj Al Arab continues to innovate in luxury. Its duplex suites, complete with gold accents and Hermes toiletries, are palatial. But the standout feature remains the butler service, available 24/7 to each guest. The butlers are trained at a proprietary Butler Academy, where they’re taught advanced etiquette, language, and culinary presentation. Want a bath with 28 types of essential oils or an in-suite caviar tasting? Your butler makes it happen — often before you even ask.
4. Aman New York – USA
Located in the historic Crown Building on Fifth Avenue, Aman New York is a haven of serenity in the world’s busiest city. Its suites feature working fireplaces, Japanese soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling views of Central Park. Each guest is appointed a private wellness butler, trained not just in hospitality, but in holistic healing. From organizing in-room sound baths to curating vegan tasting menus, the butlers here blend hospitality with well-being. It’s a perfect fusion of mindfulness and modern luxury.
5. Cheval Blanc Randheli – Maldives
If the idea of waking up in an overwater villa, sipping champagne in an infinity pool, and enjoying breakfast on a private sandbank appeals to you, Cheval Blanc Randheli is your paradise. Operated by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), this resort offers Majordome service — a French-style butler who anticipates every whim. Whether it’s organizing a private cinema night under the stars or setting up an underwater proposal with divers, these butlers are trained to deliver not just services, but unforgettable moments.
6. Ritz Paris – France
Few names are as synonymous with luxury as the Ritz Paris. Reopened after a $450 million renovation, this historic hotel now features butler service even in its entry-level suites — a rarity in Europe. The Imperial Suite, inspired by Marie Antoinette, comes with a full-time butler whose duties include arranging private viewings at the Louvre or securing reservations at three-Michelin-star restaurants. The butlers are experts in old-world charm, fluent in multiple languages, and trained to deliver discreet yet attentive service.
7. The Peninsula – Hong Kong
The Peninsula Hong Kong, known as the “Grande Dame of the Far East,” has elevated its butler offerings in 2025 with the launch of its Peninsula Lifestyle Concierge program. Guests in Grand Deluxe Harbour View Suites are assigned digital-savvy butlers equipped with AI-powered tablets to manage everything from smart lighting to curated city experiences. They can schedule a Rolls-Royce tour, arrange an after-hours shopping spree, or even stream a live performance from the Hong Kong Philharmonic in your suite.
8. One&Only Gorilla’s Nest – Rwanda
Luxury meets conservation at One&Only Gorilla’s Nest, nestled in the foothills of Volcanoes National Park. While the resort offers jaw-dropping views and elite wellness programs, it’s the adventure concierge butlers who steal the show. Trained in hospitality and wildlife biology, they not only organize gorilla treks but also guide you through local markets, storytelling sessions, and conservation tours — all while delivering five-star service in the African jungle. It’s experiential luxury at its finest.
9. Mandarin Oriental – Bangkok, Thailand
One of Asia’s oldest luxury hotels, the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, has blended tradition and innovation in its butler service. In 2025, the hotel introduced a new Heritage Butler Program, where each guest is assigned a personal butler who also acts as a cultural liaison. From organizing private river cruises to Thai cooking classes with local chefs, the service is deeply immersive. Their discretion, warmth, and attention to detail make every guest feel like royalty.
10. The Brando – French Polynesia
Marlon Brando’s former private island is now home to one of the world’s most exclusive eco-resorts: The Brando. Built with sustainability in mind, this resort combines environmental consciousness with high-end service. The villas come with dedicated butlers who are not only trained in hospitality but also certified eco-guides. They’ll coordinate your zero-emission activities, from snorkeling tours to Polynesian massage sessions, while ensuring your every comfort is met — all with an eco-luxury twist.
Conclusion: A New Standard of Personalized Luxury

It’s about personalization, exclusivity, and creating memories that go beyond the ordinary. The emergence of dedicated butler service across top-tier hotels marks a return to ultra-personalized hospitality, where every desire is anticipated, and every moment feels uniquely yours. Whether you’re seeking tranquility, culture, adventure, or glamour, these hotels redefine what it means to travel in luxury.
