A Butette? They actually have them at this 7 Star hotel in Dubai I saw on Travel Channel.

Pundit,
These were actual Butlers assigned to each guest room. Not really Valets or Hostesses.

Actually, they are called a Butler.
The Butler is the Chief servant of the household. He or she (yes, there are female Butlers) supervises other employees, receives guests and directs the serving of meals.
Today's Butlers often act as Personal Assistants also where they travel with the employers around the world, take care of the agenda, do bookkeeping and much more.
The Butler title originally applied to the person who had charge of the wine cellar and dispensed liquors, the name being derived from Middle English bottler (and various other forms), and back further from old French bouteillier, "bottle bearer."

I believe the correct name that you are looking for is, Valet. It applies to both male and female. Neither is truly a Butler. A Butler does more for the running of the entire household than attending the Master or Madame/Mistress of the Home.

I would think they would be a "housekeeper." A butler has a pretty high standing in a home, so the female equivelant would not be a maid, which is pretty low. A housekeeper is in charge of the rest of the "help." I've never heard term "butette"....
