🏨 Why Quality Towels Matter in Hospitality
Towels in hotels, spas, and resorts aren’t just functional — they’re part of the guest experience. A guest may forget the room decor, but they’ll remember rough towels, poor absorbency, or lint shedding.
Quality towels help you:
- Make a great first impression
- Improve guest satisfaction and reviews
- Reduce frequent replacements
- Maintain a professional and hygienic image
🧾 Step-by-Step: Buying Towels for Hospitality Businesses
🧱 Step 1: Understand Your Usage Needs
Are you purchasing towels for:
- Hotel rooms?
- Spa or pool areas?
- Housekeeping use?
Each area requires different towel specs (plushness vs durability vs fast drying).
🧵 Step 2: Choose the Right Fabric
The most common towel fabrics:
- 100% Cotton – soft, breathable, ideal for hotel guests.
- Combed Cotton – smoother and stronger; premium feel.
- Ring-Spun Cotton – durable with a soft texture.
- Poly-Cotton Blends – more durable, fast-drying, but less plush.
🧼 Tip: Avoid towels with synthetic fiber if you want maximum absorbency.
📏 Step 3: Consider the GSM (Grams per Square Meter)
GSM determines towel thickness and absorbency:
- 300–400 GSM: Light, fast-drying — good for gyms or housekeeping.
- 400–600 GSM: Medium plush — perfect for hotels & general use.
- 600–900 GSM: Luxury — ideal for spas, VIP suites, and boutique hotels.
💡 Higher GSM = heavier, more absorbent, more luxurious.
📐 Step 4: Select the Right Sizes
Common towel sizes for hospitality:
- Face Towel: 30×30 cm
- Hand Towel: 50×90 cm
- Bath Towel: 70×140 cm
- Bath Sheet: 100×150 cm
- Pool Towel: 90×180 cm
Make sure your supplier can customize sizes based on your property’s needs.
🪡 Step 5: Pay Attention to Stitching & Finishing
- Double-stitched hems improve lifespan.
- Soft border edges prevent fraying.
- Look for reactive dyes to avoid fading over time.
🎨 Step 6: Check for Colorfastness
In hospitality, towels undergo frequent washing. Always ask your supplier:
- Are the towels colorfast after repeated laundering?
- Are bleach-safe options available for white towels?
📦 Step 7: Request Samples Before Placing Bulk Orders
Don’t rely on photos.
Request:
- Physical samples to test absorbency, feel, and stitching.
- Shrinkage reports or fabric testing results if available.
🤝 Step 8: Choose a Trusted Supplier
Look for suppliers who:
- Specialize in hospitality textiles
- Have experience with export logistics
- Provide consistent product specs with documentation
- Offer responsive customer support
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Buying only based on price → leads to poor quality.
- Ignoring GSM → affects guest comfort.
- Skipping samples → results in surprises on delivery.
- Not clarifying lead times → causes delivery delays.
