Bathrobes: Waffle or Velour?

Bathrobes: Waffle or Velour?

A comparison of two popular bathrobe types in hotel operations — price, luxury feel, durability and guest preference.

Choosing a bathrobe for your room standard is an important part of brand perception. Let's look at the criteria for deciding between the two main options:

Waffle (Honeycomb)

  • Lightweight (300-350 GSM)
  • Dries quickly
  • Ideal for modern, boutique concepts
  • Fits easily into a suitcase (premium amenity)
  • Preferred by spa and wellness centres

Velour

  • Heavy (380-420 GSM)
  • More luxurious feel, terry inside and velour outside
  • The classic choice for 5★ premium rooms
  • Longer drying time
  • Dry cleaning may be recommended

Verdict: Waffle for boutique & spa, Velour for 5★ classic luxury. Or a hybrid: Velour as the guest's first choice, Waffle for going to the beach.

Both weaves are on the Nurpak production line — you can explore family sets and sized single bathrobes on the bathrobe sets page.
