BEST HOTEL & SPA TEXTILES

Premium towels for hotels need to meet the high expectations of discerning guests every day, while standing up to intensive use and industrial laundering.

When guests step into the bathroom, they reach for a towel, and in that moment the hotel’s promise either holds or it doesn’t. Towels for professional hotel use have to deliver on several fronts at once: excellent absorbency, shape retention after countless washes, lasting colour and, for branded towels, a crisp, clear logo. MÖVE Professional supplies hotel textiles that combine all of this: suitable for industrial laundering at up to 95 °C, chlorine resistant thanks to indanthrene dyes and certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, product class 1. We have been manufacturing in Germany since 1927, and to this day we design, weave, dye and finish our terry products in house.

• Wash resistance: up to 95 °C, suitable for industrial laundries
• Shape retention: double stitched seams
• Chlorine resistance (depending on production quantity): indanthrene dyes keep colours vibrant for longer
• Certification: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, product class 1, suitable for sensitive skin
• Quality management: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, made in Germany
• Branding: personalised with embroidery or a high-low woven design

A towel that loses its original fluffy feel after 20 washes ends up costing a hotel more than it saved at the time of purchase.

In professional hotel operations, terry towels often go through an industrial laundry every day. Cheaper towels quickly lose their volume, absorbency and shape, and need replacing sooner than planned. Premium hotel towels made from pure cotton, on the other hand, keep their softness and absorbency through many wash cycles. That means fewer replacements, a healthier budget and a consistently good experience for guests. MÖVE Professional uses 100% premium cotton, special double seams and finishes that stay stable even under intensive commercial use.

• Cost efficiency: a longer product life lowers the total cost of ownership
• Absorbency: 100% premium cotton
• Durability: double seams for constant use
• Wash resistance: up to 95 °C, suitable for industrial laundries
• Kind to skin: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, product class 1, tested for harmful substances and suitable for allergy sufferers
• Sustainability: energy and resource efficient production in Germany, with short, lower impact transport routes

A hotel’s standard range includes face cloths, hand towels and shower towels, complemented by bath sheets and sauna towels for spa and wellness areas, depending on the property.

From city hotels to wellness retreats, every size has its place and purpose. In the hotel bathroom, face cloths (30 × 30 cm), hand towels (50 × 100 cm), shower towels and bath mats form the classic core range. Spa and wellness areas add bath sheets (100 × 180 cm) and sauna towels in 80 × 180 cm or 80 × 200 cm. MÖVE Professional supplies every size from a single source, in consistent quality, coordinated designs and, if you wish, with your own branding.

• Face cloth: 30 × 30 cm
• Guest towel: 30 × 50 cm
• Hand towel: 50 × 100 cm
• Shower towel: 80 × 150 cm (67 × 140 cm also in stock in some cases)
• Bath sheet: 100 × 180 cm
• Sauna towel: 80 × 180 cm or 80 × 200 cm, ideal for spa and sauna
• Custom sizes and logo finishing available on request

For professional hotel use, we recommend terry of at least 550 g/m² in 100% premium cotton. It combines absorbency, wash resistance and the soft feel guests expect from a good hotel.

The weight determines how a towel feels and how much volume it has. Lighter fabrics from 380 g/m² are well suited to functional areas such as the sauna, while terry of 550 to 650 g/m² gives a premium hotel room just the right weight. For bespoke orders in larger quantities, towels of up to 800 g/m² are also possible. MÖVE Professional works exclusively with cotton tested for harmful substances, which copes well with the demands of professional laundering and frequent washing. Special yarn combinations are available on request.

• From 380 g/m²: lightweight terry, practical for saunas and sport
• 550 to 650 g/m²: premium terry for hotel rooms and the luxury segment
• Up to 800 g/m²: luxury quality, made to order for larger quantities
• All weights in 100% premium cotton
• OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, product class 1: all materials tested for harmful substances, so they’re suitable for sensitive skin, allergy sufferers and babies

Hotel towels can be matched precisely to a property’s corporate identity with embroidery or weaving, from a subtle tone-on-tone high-low weave to silky embroidery in up to 12 colours.

A towel bearing the hotel’s logo on a spa lounger isn’t an accessory; it’s a quiet statement of quality. For hotels, MÖVE Professional recommends two methods: embroidery in up to 12 colours (from 50 pieces, delivery in around 4 to 6 weeks) and a high-low weave for discreet tone-on-tone branding (from approx. 150 to 350 pieces, around 6 to 8 weeks). Both are made in Germany, with digital design proposals on request.

• Embroidery: up to 12 colours, from 50 pieces, delivery in around 4 to 6 weeks
• High-low weave: tone-on-tone relief branding, from approx. 150 pieces (shower towel)
• Keeps its shape after many washes
• Built for the demands of daily hotel operations
• Suitable for industrial laundries
• Custom colours: matched to Pantone, RAL or HKS on request
• Corporate identity advice: digital design proposals for your brand concept

Stock items are available from a minimum order value of €250. For personalised hotel towels, minimum quantities start at 50 pieces and delivery takes four to 16 weeks, depending on the finishing method.

If you’re planning new towels for your hotel, it pays to allow for lead times early on. Standard items are available from stock at short notice, while embroidered or woven towels need production time.

International delivery is available.

Ordering from MÖVE Professional begins with a personal consultation and ends with a binding written order, with sample review, design approval and tailored production planning in between.

Good planning is essential for any hotel project. First, our experts discuss quality, size, finishing method and quantity with you, and MÖVE Professional can send terry samples for you to see and feel. Once you’ve approved the design and placed your order in writing, production begins, with confirmed delivery dates set out in your order confirmation. Ordering in writing protects both parties, as quantity, price, finishing and delivery terms are clearly documented. Advice and order handling are available in German, English and French.

• Step 1, consultation: personal advice by phone
• Step 2, samples: quality and colour samples available on request
• Step 3, design approval: digital designs for finishes and corporate identity
• Step 4, order: in writing, which makes it binding
• Step 5, delivery date: stated in your order confirmation
• Payment: 30 days net from the invoice date, other terms by arrangement
• Languages: German, English and French

You can order premium towels for hotels directly from MÖVE Professional, in writing by email or through a quotation request, with no online shop in between.

MÖVE Professional has deliberately chosen not to run a conventional online shop for trade orders, in favour of personal expert advice from the very start. Equipping a hotel is about far more than choosing individual towels: sizes, weights, materials, quality and branding all need to work together to form a coherent whole. The experienced MÖVE Professional team will work through these questions with you. To access the download area with current catalogues and themed brochures on moeve-professional.de, you’ll need to register once and be verified. We’re happy to provide quality samples on request, in reasonable quantities.
