Staying at a nice hotel comes with plenty of perks, including soft bedding, impressive amenities, a great location, and bath towels that always seem to feel softer and more luxurious than what you use at home. Staying at a five-star resort every day isn’t exactly cost-effective but investing in your own set of hotel towels is affordable and still gives you the spa experience at home.
When searching for the best hotel towels, it’s important to know what size will work best for your home. Bath sheets are larger than bath towels, which makes them a great option for tall users and anyone with ample storage space. If your bathroom is on the smaller size or poorly ventilated, a heavy bath sheet may never fully dry, and opting for a bath towel could be a better fit. For the same reason, we’ve also included microfiber and other fast-drying towels that are great for smaller bathrooms or anyone who likes to have multiple showers a day.
We’ve included several Turkish cotton towels since they have a heavier finish that gives the same luxurious feeling you get from high-end hotel towels. Turkish towels are also very soft and absorbent, which adds to their comfort factor.
If you’re ready to bring the hotel experience home, check out our top picks for the best hotel towels below.

BEST ECO-FRIENDLY OPTION
Since the 1930s, Maura has been a family-run company that has focused on creating quality products at an affordable price for its customers. More recently, the company has obtained OEKO-TEX Made in Green certification for their bath towels, which means no harmful chemicals were used during manufacturing and the towels are made in a socially responsible and safe workplace. This reduces their impact on the environment and gives customers a product they can feel good about using. We like their thick, soft, and plush premium Turkish towels, which are made with color lock technology that keeps the towels looking vibrant and new even after several trips through the washing machine. The set of four hotel towels shown here measure 30 by 56 inches and are available in eight colors, as well as matching hand towels and washcloths.

5. JML Microfiber Bath Towel
FAST DRYING
A super thick, super-plush hotel towel may sound like a dream to wrap yourself in post-shower, but if your small bathroom isn’t well ventilated, you’ll soon have the nightmare of a still-wet towel when it’s time to shower the next day. For customers who need a large, soft towel that is absorbent and fast-drying, there’s the JML Microfiber Bath Towel. Available in solid, striped and patterned options, the 30 by 60-inch microfiber towel can absorb seven times its weight in water and still dry in a significantly shorter time frame compared to traditional cotton towels. Safe for the washing machine and dryer, the JML towels are great to use at home or on the go at the gym, or when traveling.
6. Brooklinen Waffle Bath Sheet Bundle
BEST FOR DRYING HAIR
It’s not hard to find your new favorite towel with Brooklinen. Just scrolling through the company’s website gives us the same relaxed feeling we have after spending 30 minutes soaking in a warm tub. The company has plenty of super soft plush towels, but we also like their Waffle Bath Sheet, which is also super soft and fast drying. The 100% Turkish cotton towel is lightweight, absorbent, and dries quickly, making it a great option for anyone who doesn’t have space to properly dry an oversized plush towel. The waffle-like surface quickly absorbs water, helping you dry off faster and move on with your day. The smooth weave of the waffle causes less friction when wrapped around hair and is resistant to snagging. Can this towel pick out our clothes for us too? The bundle shown here includes two bath sheets, two hand towels, and a bath mat for a bathroom that is sure to impress.

The towels use their rib design to help dry quickly and give bathrooms a fresh and modern look. The bundle included here comes with six matching soft rib washcloths, hand towels and bath towels. Made in an Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified facility, the towels are 450 grams per square meter and made with Spinsoft Technology, which creates a larger fiber surface area and creates a towel that is long-lasting.

The Hotel Collection has a huge selection of linens that are meant to mimic the best part of checking in to a fancy resort, including their line of bath towels. We like the Connections towel shown here, which features a geometric design that offers something a little different from the typical solid-color bath towels.

The super-soft bath towel is made from 700 gsm twisted Egyptian cotton and measures 28 by 49 inches. Machine wash friendly and suitable for a tumble dry, the Luxury towels create a warm embrace whenever a little comfort is needed.
