Hanging in Shanghai with nothing to do? Interested in art but you just can't find that perfect dragon painting? The St. Regis is at your service.

In addition to its world-renowned general butlering (yes, that's an actual word), the hotel has recently announced that it will be providing a "Lifestyle Butler Service" for interested hotel guests. While this may bring to mind Pretty Woman-style ettiquette lessons, the reality is more like taking an art tour with a personal shopper.

The St. Regis claims, "we provide a platform to promote and support local artists and an opportunity for art lovers to meet their favorite artists. Our lifestyle butlers escorted them to visit the artists' home and see their works."

Why these escorts are called Lifestyle Butlers, we have no idea; they sure sound like art pushers to us.
