Plural of bellman; hotel employees who carry luggage, open doors, and provide guest services.
Plural form of 'bellman' (bell + man). Historically, these workers announced arrivals by ringing a bell; the name persisted even as their duties expanded beyond bell-ringing.
Bellmen are one of the last service roles with old-fashioned traditions—they still wear uniforms and use etiquette rules that date back to when their primary job really was literally ringing a bell!
