Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard size of a hotel bath towel?
The standard hotel bath towel measures 70x140cm (28x55in) - this is the single most commonly ordered wholesale towel size across 3-star to 5-star hospitality worldwide. It offers full-body coverage for an average adult.
What is the difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet?
A bath towel is 70x140cm; a bath sheet is larger at 90x180cm - roughly 65% more fabric area. Bath sheets are used by 4-star and 5-star hotels as a premium amenity offering more generous wrap-around coverage, and typically cost 60–80% more per piece than a standard bath towel.
What size is a hotel hand towel?
Standard hotel hand towels measure 40x60cm (16x24in) and are typically supplied as a set alongside bath towels and face/guest towels in a matching GSM and colour program.
What size is a pool or beach towel?
Pool and beach towels commonly measure 90x180cm, similar to a bath sheet, though some resort programs use a wider 100x200cm format. Pool towels are usually specified at a lower 350–500 GSM range than bath towels since faster drying matters more than maximum plushness at poolside.
What GSM should a hotel bath mat be?
Hotel bath mats are specified much heavier than towels - typically 800–1200 GSM - since they need dense pile to absorb dripping water underfoot and often include a non-slip rubber or PVC backing layer, which towels do not have.
Do all hotels use the same towel size chart?
Sizes cluster around these industry-standard dimensions, but individual hotel groups may specify custom sizes (e.g. 70x130cm or 100x180cm) to match brand-specific bathroom fixtures or amenity programs. Always confirm exact dimensions in your tech pack when placing a bulk order.
