Luis Coelho is the head butler at Highclere Castle, the real-life setting for Downton Abbey and the family home of the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon. Known affectionately as “Luis the Butler,” he is a beloved member of the Highclere household team, renowned for his charm, impeccable service and engaging personality. 

Often compared to Carson from Downton Abbey, Luis brings a warm, personal touch to the grandeur of Highclere. In addition to his traditional butler duties, he is a talented mixologist, hosting gin tastings and cocktail-making demonstrations featuring Highclere Castle Gin. His hospitality skills are showcased during public open days, at private events and in special features for media and tourism partners.
