housekeeper
Chambermaid is a bit oldfashioned and gender specific these days.

Carol Gullidge
: decades ago, I moonlit at a hotel on Park Lane. There was one Housekeeper in charge of the chambermaids on each floor; the chambermaids had to clean a number of suites per day, which were inspected by the Housekeeper. In the UK, they are not synonymous

And I used to work in a hotel in Croydon and they were called housekeepers :-) You can't generalise about an entire country from one hotel. Also, as Karen points out, chambermaids can't be male.

: gobernanta = housekeeper - another female job title!/Changed since I need to be more emphatic about this not being right instead of diplomatic. In my previous EFL persona I taught English at arange of hotels in Spain - the Paradores, the Melia chain, etc.
