I used to know very well the family that own RH. Every time we went out for a meal with them they'd examine the table table cloths and more often than not would say: 'yep, one of ours' lol
I'm very cynical how "trade" some of these "suppliers to the trade" retailers actually are.That one little anecdote has pretty much given me my answer

These are awfully cheap, or am I confusing the price they showing the shop with something else? Otherwise I'm going to load up.bunchofkeys said:

My original pricing of these items would be based on Amazon, M&S/ JL or Costco. RH seems a lot cheaper, which is nice.

You could always buy them from the hotel chain themselves. Might be a bit spendy though.

They rent them, from places like Elis.
I had a tour once, they even have a special area for the top class five star hotels stuff and they’re delivered folded to specifications.
They don’t wash them like you either, its either steam or a chemical process.
Yup. When those little notes ask you to reuse the towels to save the environment what they really mean is to save them paying away some of your money that you've paid them to the towel company.

Just me that prefers slightly rough, non-fluffy towels?
Nope. Prefer the boggo hotel style cotton that absorbs in an instant. And after a few years in service get rewarded with retirement to the garage where they serve their final years mopping up oil, paint, grout and sometimes blood.

Is that why hotel towels all smell the same the world over?I had a tour once, they even have a special area for the top class five star hotels stuff and they’re delivered folded to specifications.

no, I like the extra defoliation
Me too, give me a nice rough line dried towel every time - gives a nice satisfying exfoliation and dries you properly. The only thing I don't like are towels that are too small! Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
