The bathrobe is much more than just a piece of loungewear. It represents an elegant combination of comfort and functionality, which contributes to the overall experience offered to guests in communities.
In a hotel, spa or thalassotherapy center, the choice of bathrobe is essential to meet the varied expectations of guests while reinforcing the image of the establishment.
In this article, we explore in detail the essential criteria for choosing the perfect bathrobe, whether it is the materials, the cuts or the specific needs of the establishment.
• What is a bathrobe ?
A bathrobe is an absorbent and comfortable garment designed to be worn after a bath, shower, or relaxation session. It helps retain body heat, gently dries the skin, and provides an immediate feeling of well-being.
Bathrobes come in a variety of styles and materials, each offering specific benefits depending on the intended use.
• The different bathrobe materials
1/ Terry bathrobe
Features: Made of terry cotton, the terry is known for its absorbent power, promoting quick and efficient drying. The sponge bathrobe is the most common type of bathrobe in the hotel and thalassotherapy world.
Weights: For the vast majority of terry bathrobes for hotel spas, the weight will be between 330 and 450 gr/m² (gsm). The weight of the sponge will indicate its thickness, the higher it is, the softer the feeling will be felt.
Advantages: Optimal absorption of moisture. Soft and fluffy touch.
Ideal for: hotels and spas that want to offer a feeling of comfort to their customers.
2/ Honeycomb bathrobe
Features: Lightweight and breathable texture with a waffle pattern.
