2. Why Cotton Matters for Hotel Towels

The fabric is the foundation of towel quality. GALAXY uses 100% cotton, known for:

• Excellent absorbency

• Natural softness

• Skin-friendly comfort

• Durability under frequent washing

• Breathable texture

Cotton towels retain their fluffiness and structure longer, making them ideal for high-demand hospitality settings.

3. GSM & Weight: Choosing the Right Thickness

Towel quality is often measured by GSM (grams per square meter). GALAXY offers options from lightweight 300 GSM to luxurious 650 GSM.

Lower GSM (300–400)

• Quick dry

• Ideal for gyms, spas, and pool areas

Medium GSM (400–550)

• Standard hotel-grade

• Balanced softness and durability

Higher GSM (550–650)

• Ultra-soft luxury

• Suitable for five-star hotels and resorts

Hotels can select different GSM levels for different room categories.

4. Custom Embroidery for Branding

Brand identity matters. GALAXY provides customized embroidery and woven logos for:

• Hotel name

• Resort branding

• Boutique identity

• Spa logos

Custom towels enhance the guest impression and help strengthen brand recognition.
