Hotel & Hospitality Linen Supplier
The guest touches four things in a hotel room before they form an opinion: the sheet, the towel, the robe and the mat under their feet. We make all four: woven, finished and stitched to your specification, under your property’s own label.
What we supply
The full guest-facing set, from one maker
Hospitality linen is bought as a system, not as line items. The bed set, the bath stack and the robe have to agree with each other in white, in hand feel and in how they come back from the laundry. Buying them from one weaving floor is the shortest route to that agreement.
Specify the room, not the SKU
Tell us the room type and the star positioning and we will propose the set: which sheeting tier belongs on the bed, which terry weight belongs on the rail, what goes on the floor and what hangs in the wardrobe. If you already run a house standard, send it and we will quote against it exactly as written.
Everything below is manufactured to order in white and cream as standard, with borders, labels and sizes cut to your brief.
Bed
Satin stripe
The tone-on-tone woven stripe that reads as “hotel” on sight. The stripe is in the weave, not printed on it: state stripe width and repeat, or send a sample and we will match the construction.
Bed
Duvet covers & shams
Duvet covers with envelope, buttoned or hotel-flap closure; housewife, Oxford and piped shams. Piping colour is specified with the border colour.
Bath
Bath & pool towels
Bath sheets, bath towels, hand towels and face cloths, plus poolside and spa towels: plain, ribbed, chevron or waffle jacquard, with a dobby border.
Bath
Waffle bathrobes & slippers
Waffle robes with shawl or kimono collar, self-tie belt and patch pockets, with matching closed- or open-toe slippers to complete the wardrobe presentation.
Bath
Bath mats
Heavy terry mats with a woven border (plain, Greek key or foot motif), sized to the bath or the shower tray rather than to a catalogue default.
Specification ranges
The ladders hospitality buyers specify against
These are published industry ranges, given so you can write an accurate brief before you talk to anyone. They are not claims about a Paragon product: your GSM, your tier and your construction are fixed on your order and confirmed at sampling.
Reading the terry ladder
GSM is grams per square metre of finished cloth: the single number that decides how a towel feels, how much water it holds, how long it takes to dry and how much the laundry pays to process it. Heavier is not automatically better: a spa-weight towel in a high-turn resort simply costs more to dry, several times a week, for years.
Hand towels and washcloths are typically specified 100-150 GSM below the matched bath towel, so the stack reads as one family without carrying unnecessary weight through the laundry.
Terry GSM ladder
| Article | GSM Typical industry range | Where it is normally placed |
|---|---|---|
| Gym & sports towels | 300-380 | Fitness floor and studio, where towels turn several times a day |
| Pool & economy towels | 400-450 | Poolside, loungers and any position with a high loss rate |
| Standard hotel bath towels | 500-550 | The mainstream guest bath in three- and four-star rooms |
| Premium bath towels | 580-650 | Five-star guest bath, suites and executive floors |
| Spa towels | 650-700 | Spa suites and treatment rooms, where dwell time is long |
| Bath mats | 800+ | Bathroom floor, weight is what keeps the mat flat and in place |
Typical industry range. Exact specification confirmed at sampling.
Sheeting tiers
| Tier Typical industry range | Weave | Character and usual position |
|---|---|---|
| T-180 | Plain | The entry tier. Light and crisp; usual choice for high-turn and budget room stock |
| T-200 percale | One-over-one plain | Cool, crisp and matte. The mainstream hotel sheeting standard |
| T-220 | Percale or sateen | A step up in hand feel in either direction; upper-midscale rooms |
| T-250 percale | One-over-one plain | The usual satin-stripe tier, the classic hotel bed set |
| T-300 sateen | Four-over-one | Lustrous, soft, heavier drape. Luxury and five-star room stock |
Typical industry range. Exact specification confirmed at sampling. Percale is a one-over-one plain weave and reads crisp and cool; sateen is four-over-one and reads lustrous and soft. The real five-star house standard sits around 300 TC single-ply: thread counts advertised above 600 almost always reach that figure by counting multi-ply yarn, which is a marketing number rather than a specification.
Bathrobe constructions
| Construction | GSM Typical industry range | Why a property chooses it |
|---|---|---|
| Waffle | 280-450 | Light on the shoulder, fast through the dryer, packs flat in the wardrobe |
| Terry | 350-600 | The absorbent, enveloping robe; reads as a spa product |
| Velour | 400-550 | Sheared face for a smoother finish and a more formal drape |
Typical industry range. Exact specification confirmed at sampling.
Sizes
We cut to your bed, not to a catalogue
Hotel beds are not standard between chains, between countries or even between wings of the same property, and mattress depth is the detail that most often ruins an otherwise correct order. We do not publish a fixed size chart, because we make to the sizes you give us. Tell us the measurements below and the cut sizes are set and confirmed at sampling.
The measurements that decide the order
For flat sheeting, the finished size is the bed size plus the tuck you want on each side and at the foot, a housekeeping decision as much as a dimensional one. For fitted sheeting it is mattress width, length and, critically, depth including any topper. For duvet covers it is the duvet itself, not the bed.
Terry is simpler: state the finished size per article and the hem you want. Bath mats are sized to the bath or shower tray, not to the room.
| Item | Published size | What to state on your enquiry |
|---|---|---|
| Flat sheet | On request | Bed width and length, plus the tuck-in you want at each side and the foot |
| Fitted sheet | On request | Mattress width, length and depth including topper; elasticated all round or corners only |
| Duvet cover | On request | Duvet width and length, and closure: envelope, buttoned or hotel flap |
| Pillowcase | On request | Pillow size, and whether you want housewife, Oxford or bag style |
| Pillow sham | On request | Border width, piping colour and whether the sham is corded or flat |
| Bath, hand & face towels | On request | Finished size per article, hem depth, and the dobby border you want |
| Pool & spa towels | On request | Finished size, and whether the border carries a woven stripe |
| Bath mat | On request | Finished size against the bath or shower tray, and border depth |
| Bathrobe | On request | The size run you carry: S/M/L/XL or a numeric run, and quantities per size |
| Slippers | On request | Size run, sole type and whether closed- or open-toe |
Every row reads On request deliberately. We have no published standard size chart to quote at you, and inventing one would only produce a sample that does not fit your beds. Send measurements in centimetres or inches, either is fine.
Guidance for buyers
Specifying for commercial laundering
Hospitality linen does not wear out in the guest room. It wears out in the laundry, in a regime that is hotter, more alkaline and more mechanically aggressive than anything domestic goods ever meet, repeated several times a week for the whole life of the piece. Experienced hospitality buyers therefore write the specification against the laundry first and the guest second, because a towel that greys, a hem that ropes or a corner that pulls arrives in front of the guest either way.
What hospitality buyers typically put in the brief
- The wash temperature and the thermal-disinfection step the laundry runs.
- The bleach chemistry: chlorine or oxygen, and the detergent, sour and softener system used alongside it.
- The number of cycles the property budgets between replacement, and how goods are counted out of service.
- Extraction, drying and finishing: tumble- or cabinet-dried, flat-ironed or tunnel-finished.
- How goods are marked and sorted: heat-seal chips, sewn-in date tabs, floor or department tapes, and where that marking is allowed to sit.
- Whether the laundry is on-premise or an off-site contract, because the two argue about entirely different things.
What we will and will not tell you
We do not publish a wash-cycle rating, a shrinkage figure or a laundering test result for our goods. We have not carried out that testing, and quoting someone else’s numbers as if they were ours would be the least useful thing we could do for a procurement file.
What we will do is specify against your regime. Send your chemicals, your temperatures and your cycle expectation with the enquiry and we will propose the composition, the weave, the yarn and the hem construction to suit them: then confirm the exact specification at sampling, in writing, before anything is made in quantity.
One general point worth stating plainly: chlorine bleach is usually what decides colour. White goods tolerate a chlorine regime in a way dyed goods do not, which is why hospitality flat linen and terry are overwhelmingly specified white, and why a coloured border is a decision to take with your laundry manager in the room.
Batch consistency
When every stage is owned, consistency becomes a promise, not a hope
Paragon Textile is structured to deliver assurance, not assumptions. Fibre selection, weaving and knitting, finishing and stitching sit under one roof, so the variables that make the second delivery look different from the first are ours to hold rather than a sub-supplier’s to explain.
That matters more in hospitality than anywhere else, because a hotel never buys its linen once. It buys the same specification again next year and again after that, and the new pieces have to go onto the same housekeeping shelf without a visible seam between deliveries. Housekeeping notices shade drift long before the general manager does, and once a floor is running two whites the whole par becomes a sorting problem.
White and cream are our stock shades. Other shades are matched to a Pantone reference on order: quote the same reference and the same specification on re-order and we will price against them exactly as first written.

Property branding
Five ways to put the property on the cloth
They are not interchangeable. Each one behaves differently in a commercial wash, sits at a different cost and suits a different article, so it is worth choosing per item rather than once for the whole order.
Woven satin label
A satin tag with your property name woven into it, stitched into the hem or side seam. The mark is woven rather than printed, so it stays legible as the piece ages. This is the label format we already produce on our own goods.
Printed label
The lower-cost route, and the practical one when the tag has to carry care, size and composition marking as well as the name. Best placed where it is not under constant abrasion.
Embroidery
A monogram, crest or wordmark stitched into a towel border, robe chest or pillow cuff. One materials fact worth knowing before you brief it: embroidery for hospitality is normally specified in 100% polyester thread, vat-dyed or chlorine-resistant. That is a property of the thread the specifier selects, not a treatment applied to the cloth, and it is the thread, not the towel, that decides how the mark looks after a bleach wash. State the thread you want on the enquiry.
Dobby or cam border
Here the signature is in the cloth itself: a triple-dobby band, a chevron, a Greek key, a waffle panel. Nothing is applied, so there is nothing to peel and nothing that ages at a different rate from the ground fabric.
Border colour
White and cream from stock. Other shades matched to a Pantone reference on order. On a woven border the colour sits inside the structure; on a printed or embroidered mark it sits on top, which is why the laundry conversation above belongs here too.
