A bellhop is a hotel worker who carries bags, runs , and helps guests — the same job as a bellboy. The word is American. It is a of bellhopper: someone who “hops” (moves quickly) when the bell rings at the desk. Though actually, in a modern American hotel the person may just be “someone from the front desk,” and younger staff may never say bellhop unless the building is old-fashioned enough to still print it on a sign. It is everyday service language, not a fancy word, but it belongs to hotels. Same work as a Taiwan 行李員; bellboy is the form more people outside the US recognise from films.
飯店行李員(美式;跟 bellboy 同一份工作)
