FlyerTalk Forums - FAQ: St Regis Butler Service : what do they do? how much do you tip?

Commonly asked questions about St. Regis "Butlers:"

1. What requests can they fulfill?

2. Should I tip my butler? How much?
The prevailing thought process in the thread suggests butlers should at least be tipped for "above and beyond" type service, and potentially more at your discretion and accounting for local tipping customs.
