Whole sentence: "The hotel provides daily newspapers, laundry and valet services, as well as reduced-rate parking."

Is "valet" here referring to "valet de chambre"? Or valet parking? Thanks.

洗衣与个人助理服务 / 洗衣与秘书服务 / 洗衣与管家服务


Explanation:
洗衣不必说了。所谓个人助理服务,直译就是管家服务,就是有按你的需要,派专人帮你停车、取送文件、接送机、送领衣服等等,就像有了一位临时的私人秘书,考虑到国内秘书有生活秘书、有工作秘书,也有二者兼顾的秘书,所以也不妨译为“秘书服务”,当然,直译为管家服务也无不可,英国的管家素质天下闻名,还有专门培训管家的学校,据说英国的管家是主人事务的忠实打理者,素质极高,与国人在电视电影上看到的中国古代奴才管家有天壤之别。出门在外,找个临时的管家确实对工作大有帮助,当然费用不斐,只有高档洒店才能提供此类服务,也只有很有钱而工作又确实需要的人才能雇得起。

当然,此处的管家不一定就天天跟着你只为你一人服务,擦完你的鞋还得擦别人的,可能同时服务多人,但总体上让你感觉是在为一人服务。如果送你去机场,也许只送你一人。总之,就是为你住店期间生活工作方便。

问了一位美国朋友,一般听到valet,可能首先想到的是valet parking,即代停车服务。但如果说是hotel提供的valet服务,则多半是助理或助手服务了,具体服务内容如上所述。
