Choosing the Right Towel GSM for Your Property
A quick guide to GSM, absorbency and durability for hotel towels.
Choosing the Right Towel GSM GSM grams per square metre tells you how dense — and how absorbent and durable — a towel is. - 400-500 GSM — light, fast-drying: pool and gym. - 500-600 GSM — the hotel sweet spot for bath towels. - 600+ GSM — plush, premium suites and spas. Heavier towels feel luxurious but cost more to launder and take longer to dry. Match the GSM to the room class and your laundry cycle.
