What makes a hotel towel feel so luxurious?

Do you recognise that wonderful feeling when you wrap yourself in a heavy, soft towel in a hotel? The top-quality towels you find in five-star hotels are known for their high absorbency and luxurious spa feel. Thanks to the luxurious weight of cotton, hotel-quality towels feel very soft and comfortable. The high-quality combed and durable cotton provides that recognisable luxurious experience.

What are hotel-quality towels?  

The DOUXE hotel-quality bath range offers you bath textiles of luxurious top quality for your own bathroom. DOUXE towels are made of high-quality cotton and are finished with a luxurious, classic, timeless border. That is why you will also find our velvety-soft DOUXE hotel towels in exclusive hotels.

Thanks to their weight of 700 grams, they feel extra luxurious and comfortable, as you are used to from a five-star hotel. The zero twist, or reversed yarn, makes the towel extremely soft and fluffy. Our hotel towels are carefully made in Portugal. If durability and luxury are at the top of your list, then DOUXE towels will be an absolute asset for you.

What requirements should a good-quality cotton towel meet?

With a good-quality towel you create a luxurious experience in your own bathroom. Not only the look is important, but also the quality of your towel, because after all that is what lets you enjoy it for a long time. But what makes a towel good quality?

Types of bath cotton

All DOUXE hotel-quality towels are made of 100% cotton; a natural, skin-friendly product of high quality with good absorbency. In addition, we also have towels made of Egyptian cotton, such as the Mirabel Slabbinck towels.

Absorbing moisture 

After bathing, cotton is perfect for drying yourself because it absorbs moisture excellently. In cotton terry, loops are woven between the cotton threads. This is an important step in the process, because it creates the typical structure of terry cloth. This is also known as ‘fratté’. These loops increase, as it were, the surface area of the cotton fibre, so that the fabric can absorb moisture even better.

Towel weight

The weight of towels is expressed in grams per square metre and is also known as GSM (Grams per Square Metre). The higher the GSM, the thicker and more luxurious the towel feels. Our DOUXE hotel-quality towels have a fill weight of at least 680 GSM, so that all towels absorb moisture perfectly and feel velvety soft.

Combed cotton with zero twist

Towels made of combed cotton stay strong and do not shed fluff. With combed cotton, the fibres are combed to remove shorter threads and impurities. This leaves only the strongest and longest threads to be woven into the bath towel. This process guarantees the durability of your towels. With zero-twist and low-twist towels, a special technique is used in which the cotton fibres are not twisted but woven, without breaking the fibres. The zero and low twist make for extra soft, fluffy towels.

Hem finish

Our hotel-quality towels are finished with a double hem and are double-stitched. This makes the hem extra strong, so the towels stay beautiful for extra long.

What is the best way to wash towels?

How do you enjoy your luxurious hotel-quality towels for longer? Your towels can easily be washed and dried, so they are quickly ready for use again.

Before first use, we recommend washing your towels without fabric softener at a maximum of 60 degrees. This gives them the ability to absorb moisture and makes the fibres velvety soft.

After the first use, wash your towels in the washing machine with similar colours at a maximum of 60 degrees, in a machine that is not too full. If you can still easily hold your hand above the towels in the machine, you can be sure that the machine is not too full.

You can wash the towels with a mild detergent. Only a small amount of detergent and fabric softener is needed, so that no soap residue is left behind in the cotton. This ensures the cleanest result and keeps your towels soft and a pleasure to use for a long time.

For that velvety-soft feel, we recommend drying your towels in the tumble dryer at a low temperature so that the cotton fibres stay intact. Thanks to the zero twist and higher GSM, your towels come out of the dryer wonderfully fluffy. Would you rather air dry your towels? You can! Precisely because of their high quality, your towels stay soft even when air dried.

When is it time to replace your towels?

Good-quality towels last a very long time. When you want to replace them depends partly on your personal preference. Experts say that towels are best replaced every two years. If you are unsure whether you need a new set, we have these tips for you:

Do the towels still absorb moisture quickly and sufficiently?

If you have to pass them over your body several times to get properly dry, it may mean that the towels no longer absorb enough moisture and need replacing.

Unpleasant odours straight after use?

A good towel will smell lovely and fresh again after a good wash, and will keep doing so after a drying session. Does your towel soon smell unpleasant? Then it is time to replace the towel.

Frayed edges or small tears in your towel?

Your towels are used regularly, washed and often dried in the tumble dryer. The better the quality of your towel, the longer it lasts. If after a few years of use the edges start to fray or other damage appears, it is best to replace your towels.
