What exactly does a Butler do ?

I stayed at the Hotel Grande Bretagne on the weekend where all rooms offer a Butler service.

What exactly does a butler do. Things I could think of:

- shine shoes
- iron clothing
- make tea / coffee

But really - what exactly does a Butler do ? Theere was no indication in any of the literature at the hotel of exactly what their function was.

Thanks.
