What is a bellperson?

A bellperson, also known as a bellhop or a porter, is a person employed by a hotel, motel, or other lodging establishment who assists guests with their luggage and other belongings and who performs other related tasks, such as delivering messages and running errands. Bellpersons are typically stationed at the front desk or in the lobby of a hotel, and they are often the first and last people that guests see when they stay at a hotel.
