Towels are one of the most frequently used items in any professional setting. Their texture, absorbency, durability, and cleanliness directly affect guest satisfaction and reflect on your brand image. Hotel institutional towels are designed specifically to meet the demands of high-volume usage and frequent laundering. Our institutional towels can withstand the rigours of commercial laundering cycles without fraying, fading, or thinning out. Every towel is built with features that professionals appreciate—reliability, fast drying, high absorbency, and a pristine appearance.

Towel Materials: What’s Inside Matters

Choosing the right towel material is just as important as GSM. Our range of hotel institutional towels UK features carefully selected materials to meet specific performance and cost needs.

100% Cotton Institutional Towels

Cotton is the gold standard for hotel and institutional use. It's naturally breathable, skin-friendly, and highly absorbent. Our 100% cotton towels—especially ring-spun varieties—are a staple in the hospitality industry for their comfort and durability.

Cotton-Rich Blends

For settings that require more economical options without compromising performance, cotton-rich towels offer a smart solution. These blends retain a soft feel and high absorbency while enhancing the towel's strength. Cotton-rich towels are often chosen by care homes, leisure centres, and gyms due to their cost-efficiency.

Recycled Yarn Options

Sustainability is becoming a priority for modern businesses. That’s why we also offer recycled cotton-rich institutional towels, ideal for environmentally conscious hotels and wellness retreats. These towels reduce textile waste without sacrificing softness or performance.

Chlorine-Resistant Towels

For pools, spas, and aquatic centres, our chlorine-resistant towels are a game-changer. Made to resist chemical breakdown, they last longer and maintain their appearance even after repeated exposure to pool water.

Types of Towels in Our Institutional Collection

Our range covers all the towel sizes and styles needed in commercial settings. Each type has a specific purpose and is designed for optimal performance.

Bath Towels: These full-sized towels are ideal for hotel bathrooms, changing rooms, and spas. Every towel is crafted for maximum absorbency and guest comfort.

Hand Towels: Our collection includes both 450 GSM and 500 GSM hand towels in 100% cotton or cotton-rich blends to suit different requirements.

Guest Towels: Smaller than standard hand towels, guest towels are commonly used for face drying or hand wiping. Their size and easy laundering make them a favourite for businesses.

Face Cloths / Flannels: Face cloths are essential in hotel bathroom sets. Our 100% cotton white flannels are soft on the skin yet strong enough for repeated washing. 

Sweat Towels / Gym Towels: Our 450 GSM sweat towels are long, absorbent, and lightweight. Their cotton-rich fabric helps them stand up to intense use while remaining cost-effective.

Jumbo Bath Sheets: For high-end hotels or guests who prefer extra coverage, jumbo bath sheets in sizes like 80x180 cm are a luxurious option.

Care Instructions

To maintain the quality and longevity of your hotel and institutional towels, follow these best practices:

  • Use mild detergents and avoid fabric softeners, which reduce absorbency.
  • Wash at 60°C or higher for hygienic cleaning—our towels are designed to withstand commercial laundry cycles.
  • Avoid overloading the machine to ensure even washing and rinsing.
  • Tumble dry on medium heat; high heat may damage fibres over time.
  • For white towels, oxygen-based bleach is safe; avoid chlorine unless using chlorine-resistant towels.
  • Do not iron towels to preserve loop texture and absorbency.
  • Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew or odour build-up.
