With the hospitality industry becoming more saturated year after year, it’s not enough to simply provide guests with a nice room to stay in. If you really want your hotel to stand out to the point where guests will want to rebook for a future stay, going the extra mile is essential, and one way you can do this is by providing luxury linens.
Linen is one of the most essential amenities that any hotel needs to run successfully. From bedding to towels and bathrobes, all hotel linen contributes to the creation of a comfortable and relaxing environment. And fortunately, sourcing a linen supplier is a relatively straightforward task once you’ve been equipped with the right knowledge, and fortunately we’re here to help.
This guide is designed to make the process a little easier by outlining the key benefits of investing in high quality linen, before taking you through the range of products available for hire from Stalbridge Linen.
The Importance of High Quality Hotel Linen
When it comes to choosing a hotel linen supplier, it is essential that you do not compromise on quality. Your hotel linen supply can mean the difference between an exceptional guest experience and an utterly forgettable one. From solidifying a reputation of excellence amongst your guests, to maintaining your hotel’s par level, here are just some of the reasons that you should be investing in high quality hotel linen.
Comfort
Hotel linen should always be predominantly comfortable. And this isn’t even to say that they necessarily need to be made out of 100% cotton or have a higher thread count, as well-woven cotton blends can offer just as much comfort. Above all, hotel linen shouldn’t be rough or scratchy. They should instead be soft to the touch, breathable, and suitable for regular temperatures. They shouldn’t leave your guests up all night or feeling unrelaxed, and should instead reflect the hotel’s aim to provide guests with a restful stay.
Cleanliness
Naturally, there is nothing quite as important as the hygiene of hotel linen. The last thing any hotel guest wants is to be reminded of a room’s previous inhabitants, so it goes without saying that hotel linen should never have any visible stains or distinguishable odours.
When you hire high quality hotel linen, you will also benefit from the company’s rigorous laundry service, which will always ensure that the linen you’ve hired is looking its very best. Plus, you’ll never have to worry about your supply running low, as when your soiled linen is picked up to be laundered, you’ll always be left with a fresh batch.
Durability
Although it may seem like a minor detail, the durability of hotel linen actually matters greatly when it comes to the quality of a hotel’s guest experience. Hotel linen should never have any discernible fraying on the seams or look fragile and thin in appearance. If noticed, it could lead your linen - and thus your hotel - to be viewed as cheap and low quality.
Well-Fitted
Ill-fitting linens can come in the form of anything from fitted sheets that slip out of the mattress to restaurant tablecloths that are too short for the table. This can lead to frustration on the guest’s part and once again could lead to your hotel being viewed as cheap or lacking in attention to detail. Using a linen hire service means that you’ll always be able to find high-quality hotel linen that can be tailored to your exact requirements.
Hotel Linen Product Range
Bedding
We’ve all experienced the feeling of walking into a hotel room for the first time. Our eyes typically go straight to the bed: does it look inviting? Will we get a good night's sleep? Are the sheets crisp and white? Are they made from cosy, high quality cotton?
Make sure that your guests aren’t left disappointed when it comes time to check in with our Classic Bed Linen Range. Available in four signature styles - from Premier to Elite - all of our bed linens are pristinely white and exceedingly comfortable - the perfect recipe for a restful stay.
We are able to provide clients with ed linen in sizes ranging from single to superking, meaning that we can accommodate our services to the needs of just about any hotel. Give your guests the gift of ultimate relaxation with Stalbridge Linen’s five-star bed linen.
Towels
Towels are another amenity that guests will be looking out for when they get to their room. When it comes to hotel towels, if they’re thick, luxurious and impeccably presented, they pass the test. At Stalbridge Linen, our clients can choose from two varieties of luxurious towels for their hotel bathrooms: Elite 600g and Premier 500g.
Crafted from soft, durable cotton and featuring a stylish grid design, we can supply all of the products necessary to make your hotel bathroom as lavish as possible: face cloths, hand towels, bath towels, bath sheets and bath mats.
Furthermore, if your hotel has a swimming pool or a spa, Stalbridge Linen’s leisure towels are just the ticket. Featuring a blue and white stripe and the same cosy cotton blend, these towels are perfect for relaxing by the pool or sweating out toxins in the sauna.
Bathrobes
Offering bathrobes as an amenity at your hotel can make a huge difference to the quality of your guest experience. Not only do bathrobes add tremendous value to your hotel, but a good-quality bathrobe can also have a lasting impact on your guests. It’s never a bad time to receive a glowing review from a guest about how soft and plush their bathrobe was whilst they wore it around their room or by the pool.
Stalbridge Linen can help make this happen with our line of cosy, crisp white bathrobes. Crafted out of luxury cotton and featuring a handy adjustable belt tie at the waist, our bathrobes will help to provide your hotel with a leisurely, affluent edge.
Restaurant Tablecloths
If your hotel has a restaurant and you require high-quality table linen, Stalbridge Linen can help. Along with our hotel linen, we also specialise in restaurant tablecloths and linen napkin hire. We have an extensive range of square, rectangular and round tablecloths and serviettes to choose from, all of which are available in a selection of gorgeous colours. With so much choice, we’re bound to stock something to match your restaurant’s practical and stylistic needs.
