"Kitchen's butler" doesn't really make sense....

Caroline Schena Oct 24, 2017:

The context is extracted from a top class hotel in Dubai... Which means that it could either be a simple kitchenette or a small space for hotel employees to come an prepare meals for the guests who do not want to go out to eat. Here, you would have to ask for more details to your client. The two things are very different. (Cuisinette or Garde-manger?)

@ Asker Ah but that's totally different! In your question term you have inverted the word order and wrongly re-attributed the possessive, making a nonsense of the whole thing!

Voila la description :

"The bright and airy Premier Suite provides you with 90 sqm of urban styled living space, including a lounge with study area, a separate dining area with guest toilet and the butler's kitchen, giving you plenty of space to feel alive and inspired."

@ Asker Please give us the sentence or paragraph in which this is being used, as it is far from obvious what they are talking about.
I don't believe this is a standard EN term, so we really need to get an idea of the overall quality of the EN in your document.

Note that as it stands, this would be "the butler [= a person] belonging to the kitchen" — not a very plausible job title as far as I can see!

You seem to be equating it to 'pantry's butler' — but again, the syntax is wrong there, that would mean "the butler [= a person] belonging to the pantry". In neither case is this a PLACE, but a PERSON.

I think you are confusing it with 'butler's pantry' — yes, that can sometimes be referred to as 'office'; perhaps you are seeking to consider this as 'butler's kitchen'? That would certainly suggest the same thing... but the correct word order is vital, and we need to know if the error is your or in the source text? More context will enable us to understand in what way this person or place ie being referred to?

Espace de stockage (provisions ou ustensils) espace de stockage pour les provisions (produits) ou les ustensils (meme un cellier) like storeroom. :)
