From Budget Stays to Premium Suites — Select Fabrics That Match Your Guest Experience
In the hospitality industry, the feel of the fabric is often the first—and most lasting—impression your guests take with them. The right linen not only enhances comfort and luxury but also simplifies operations with durability and easy maintenance.
At Sofrito, we help hoteliers like you choose fabrics that reflect your brand and work for your operations. Here’s a smart breakdown based on hotel type:
Priorities: Affordability, durability, and quick turnaround
Recommended Fabrics:
(A) Glace Cotton (210–300 TC) – A polyester-cotton blend ideal for high guest turnover. Available in both Plain (solid) and Self-Stripe patterns.
300 TC is highly recommended for budget hotels, as the price difference from 210 TC is minimal while offering a better guest experience.
