How to choose the best bed, bathroom & table linen for comfort & style

Every successful hotelier knows that your bedding choice will play a major role in creating a restful bedroom, packed full with style. Luxury bedding should focus on improving the quality of your guests' sleep, making them feel as comfortable as possible and enhancing the entire feel and look of the bedroom. So, however many bedrooms you're planning on updating ready for the Bank Holiday seasonal rushes and beyond, choosing the right bedding collection can make all the difference.

However, it's not just the bedrooms you'll need to consider - first impressions count in the hospitality industry. This includes the moment your guests enter their room, enjoy a soak in the tub in the bathroom, sit down to enjoy brunch in the breakfast room and unwind on a relaxing visit to the spa. So, luxury linens in all of these key areas are crucial, from crisp white sheets and fluffy towels to bathrobes and elegant table settings.

Here, we'll explore how to choose the best high-quality linens throughout your hotel, so guests can enjoy an unforgettable stay using textiles that withstand everyday use and regular laundering, and still retain a five-star finish.

Hotel bedding & bed linen for the ultimate sleep

Our hotel bedding collections, from mattress protectors to pillows and duvets, are renowned for quality, durability and style. Why not complete the look with our Mayfair  bed linen?

If you want to achieve guest satisfaction, first you need to ensure your guests benefit from a great night's sleep. This is why investing in high-quality textiles, from soft sheets to supportive pillows, is so important. If you pick top-quality bed linen and hotel bedding, your rooms will instantly offer a sophisticated finish. Look for breathable textiles, such as Egyptian cotton for a crisp finish or sateen for a silky smooth surface. In the hospitality industry, neutral tones, in particular white, will keep the look fresh and inviting.

Hotel bedding and bed linen will create a welcoming environment - think mattress protector, flat sheet, pillows, duvet, pillowcases and duvet cover plus the little extras, such as blankets and throws and cushions. We have an extensive range of bedding and bed linen which is renowned for use in top hotels (and homes) throughout the UK.

Bathroom linens for luxury bathing

Once you have chosen your hotel bedding and bed linen, don't forget your bathrooms. This is another key area where hotels can make a lasting impression on guests - thick, absorbent towels, cosy bathrobes and matching slippers and super-soft bath mats will instantly add to their visit.

Many hotels use our bespoke embroidery service, so they can benefit from a beautifully stitched brand logo, initials, names etc., on towels, slippers, bathrobes and bed linen for a personal touch in bedrooms and bathrooms. This example features on our Carmen pure fine linen towel collection 

The bathroom is one space where guests will form lasting impressions of cleanliness and comfort. Both are important elements, which top hotels use to demonstrate a commitment to providing an unbeatable service. And the same can be said for spas - guests are looking for areas with exceptional quality bathrobes, towels and slippers coupled with high-quality treatments for the best pampering experience.

Enhancing the guest experience

When guests can wrap themselves in the cosiest bathrobe or a super-soft absorbent towel, this shows that you care. Bathrooms and spas should be all about pure indulgence which is why tactile details, such as these, can help to create a memorable experience.

High-quality organic cotton bathrobes with lusciously deep soft pile instantly offer luxury as they feel super-soft and indulgent on the skin. Whether guests are moving from the bathroom to the bedroom, or post-treatment to the pool, the right robe will keep them warm and cosy. Adding, thick, fluffy towels which dry brilliantly and feel soft on the skin demonstrates your attention to the finest detail. Complete the look with comfortable slippers, for a practical finish and a sense of thoughtful hospitality.

The weather's improving and something's got to be said for al fresco dining. Whether you want to treat guests outdoors to a sunny brunch on the terrace or a sophisticated dinner under the stars, the right table linen will be crucial.

Crisp, high-quality tablecloths and napkins can transform the simplest meal for guests into a memorable event. Our hospitality-graded table linens are ideal for indoor and outdoor use - we use durable, easy-care fabrics which resist staining and withstand regular laundering while still beholding a beautiful finish.

Choose cotton table linen for luxury

For breakfast and brunch, a crisp white tablecloth with neatly folded napkins will set the scene for a feast. And, gfor lunch and dinner, bolder colours on your tableware can contrast beautifully against an elegant white cotton backdrop. Elegant weaves for your table linen can add a more refined finish to al fresco dining as night falls.

Once the sun has set with a slight chill in the air, a luxurious blanket or wrap will give guests a little respite from the great British weather. Look for styles that will complement your outdoor space whether you're offering relaxed-pre-dinner drinks or evening dining. Hotel-quality throws, blankets and wraps should be suitably soft, stylish and must stand the test of time. Style-wise, place them neatly folded into a basket by the door or drape them over the back of your chairs for easy access.
