Plural of bellhop; hotel employees, usually young men, who carry luggage for guests and perform various services.
From 'bell' (originally they rang bells to summon guests) + 'hop' (a young assistant or messenger boy). The term dates to the late 19th century when hotels began using these uniformed employees.
Bellhops got their name because they literally carried bells to announce guests, but over time the job evolved into a career that has launched countless Hollywood careers and created its own unique hotel culture.
