- Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya De La Rosa Ramírez (played by Adrian R'Mante) — The earnest bellboy of the Tipton of Hispanic descent. He often calls Zack and Cody "little blonde peoples". In the episode It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Hotel, Esteban harbors a desire to manage the Tipton. He originally came to the United States to be a baseball player, but became a bellhop instead. He is a bowler, and once affected a Southern accent after being taught by a Texan diction coach, but unlearned it due to his dislike of the accent.

In Kisses & Basketball, Bowling, and Going for the Gold, Carey kisses him; he fainted each time. It is also shown that he has a picture of Carey in his office that lights up when he claps his hands, as well as a cardboard cut out of her. Arwin was a professional bowler, illustrated in Bowling. He also is known for being obsessed with his mother, probably because he lives with her. He stopped bowling because his mother's obsessive cheering made him nervous in competition and accidentally threw the ball and it hit her head.In the video game he gives you inventions.
- Patrick (played by Patrick Bristow) — The maître d' for the Tipton Hotel's restaurant. One of the most sarcastic characters on the show, he treats everyone with disdain, especially Zack and Cody.

Due to London's generous tips, Patrick has been able to afford a foreign sports car, indicated in Twins at the Tipton. However, Mr. Moseby claims that Patrick wrecked it by crashing into fellow waiter Rich, and when the ambulance showed up, another fellow waiter Gary got hit by the ambulance.
- Muriel (played by Estelle Harris) — The hotel housekeeper, who is good-natured but lazy. She is usually seen sitting down with her feet up (when she isn't stealing money from guests).

She claimed that she knew Babe Ruth} and was the first one to call him "Babe".
- Lance (played by Aaron Musicant) — An easy-going but, like London, not that bright lifeguard who Maddie goes out with on the first episode Hotel Hangout. He only talks about water, causing Maddie to dump him. Once, in the episode Band in Boston, he said that there was a flood in one suite where their instruments were, ruining the instruments and then said "I never knew water had a dark side." They are still friends, however. Lance showed Maddie how to do CPR in Rumors, and is a lousy ballroom dancer in Loosely Ballroom.
- Irene (played by Sharon Jordan) - The concierge for the Tipton Hotel, she usually is seen in the background during scenes in the lobby but in Boston Tea Party, she gets her first speaking part and in Nurse Zack she sabotaged Maddie's candy travel cart and Maddie alludes to Irene not having very many speaking parts by replying "It's always the quiet ones".
- Norman (played by Anthony Acker) - The doorman for the Tipton Hotel, he is also usually a background character but is shown to have a hiding spot for Zack's belonging's when he skips school in What the Hey, he also interacts with the main hotel staff in Nurse Zack when he sabotages Arwin's blow torch by filling it with bubbles because Arwin put an automatic system on the entrance doors.He is usually silent, but had speaking parts in the episodes "Nurse Zack" and "Ask Zack."

He is just fresh out of college and takes care of Carey and Cody when they were ill (they were his first clients).

- Corrie (played by Vanessa Anne Hudgens) — Corrie is a schoolmate of Maddie, Mary Margaret, and her idol London at Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow.

[edit] Friends of Zack and Cody
- Max (played by Alyson Stoner) — One of Zack and Cody's best friends. A girl who usually wears pigtails and is sometimes mistaken for a boy (a running gag throughout the series). She once had a crush on Zack as shown in the episode Kisses and Basketball. She is portrayed as a great dancer(as shown in Footloser), and an excellent basketball player. Max's continuity questionable, for Alyson Stoner was in That's so Raven as a different chracter, and That's so Raven has had several crossovers with The Suite Life of Zack and Cody; The only explination is that Max and Ally are look-alikes.
- Tapeworm (played by Dennis Bendersky) — One of Zack and Cody's best friends. He is strange and also a math genius. He is called Tapeworm because he ate 20 hotdogs in two minutes. He was the drummer for "Rock Squared" in Band in Boston.

Zack meets him in school one day when he was moved into a regular class from a Special Education class because he was doing so well in it. He likes to play Total World Conquest with the boys and Cody's friends, Warren and Jeremy, though they almost never finish their games because Zack and Cody usually end up fighting. Bob, as shown in Smart & Smarterer and Odd Couples, is somewhat impatient. It was shown in French 101 that he speaks fluent French and that he has a crush on the French ambassador's daughter, Jolie. It is unknown how he speaks French so well. In the episode Forever Plaid, he states that his favorite subject is science.

- Janice and Jessica (played by Camilla and Rebecca Rosso) — Two English twins. After they visited the Tipton in Boston for a twin convention (as seen in Twins at the Tipton), they enrolled in Zack and Cody's school. Cody almost always ends up getting both girls, whilst Zack gets neither, even though it is generally his idea to go out with them in the first place.
- Barbara Brownstein (played by Sophie Tamiko Oda) — A girl occasionally seen. She entered a science contest in Rock Star in the House while her volcano was dormant, entered a spelling bee in Neither a Borrower Nor a Speller Bee where she misspelled fracas and was eliminated, and also appeared in "Ask Zack", where she got angry at Janice and Jessica for tossing around a conversation instead of getting to the point. In Club Twin, she becomes addicted to sugar. And in Miniature Golf she goes on a date with Cody.

- Agnes (played by Allie Grant) — Agnes is a girl who goes to school with Zack and Cody who has a crush on both of them (seemingly whichever one suits her at the time). Her continuity questionable, for Allie Grant was in That's so Raven as a different chracter, and That's so Raven has had several crossovers with The Suite Life of Zack and Cody; The only explination is that Agnes and Carly are look-alikes.
- Vanessa (played by Gage Golightly) — In the episode A Midsummer's Nightmare, Zack had a crush on her and she had a crush on Cody. She played Helena. She dislikes Zack and Agnes dislikes her.
- Gwen (played by Selena Gomez) — In the episode A Midsummer's Nightmare as Cody's one day girlfriend. She played Hermia and Zack played Lysander; when they practiced a kissing scene Gwen fell in love with Zack instead of Cody.
