Luxury in Harmony with Nature – How to Choose Eco-Friendly Textiles for Hotels and Premium Apartments

Modern luxury is evolving. Today, it’s not just about how textiles look or feel, but where they come from, how they’re made, and their impact on the planet. Guests of premium hotels and apartments increasingly ask not only how it feels, but what it’s made of – and why.

In this article, we show you how to choose textiles that combine aesthetics, comfort, and responsibility – and how they can help you build the image of a forward-thinking premium property.

1. What Are Eco-Friendly Textiles?

Eco textiles are products that:

• are made from natural or recycled materials,

• are produced with respect for the environment and workers' rights,

• are free from harmful chemicals, toxins, and microplastics,

• often carry international certifications (e.g. GOTS, OEKO-TEX®).

Worth noting: eco does not mean rough or boring. At Ormire, we combine nature with refined design.

2. Why Choose Eco Textiles for Hotels and Apartments?

✔ Enhance your brand image – guests pay attention to the details and prefer environmentally conscious stays.
✔ Increase perceived value – eco textiles are gentler, skin-friendly, and look exceptional.
✔ Reduce environmental impact – less chemicals, less waste, more respect for nature.
✔ A long-term investment – high-quality textiles last longer, wear better, and support more efficient laundry management.

3. How to Identify Truly Eco Textiles?

Look for key certifications:

• GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) – ensures the product is made from organic cotton and meets strict environmental and social criteria throughout the supply chain.

• OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 – guarantees the product is free from harmful substances and safe even for babies.

• GRS (Global Recycled Standard) – confirms the use of recycled materials and verifies environmental and ethical production standards.

At Ormire, every eco collection comes with full documentation and certificates, available for B2B clients.

4. Which Textiles Should You Choose in Eco Version?

• Hotel towels – made from organic cotton, soft, absorbent, and durable for frequent washing.

• Bedding – from natural fibres, in neutral tones that express minimalist elegance.

• Bathrobes and slippers – from terry or waffle cotton, dyed with natural pigments.

• Bath mats / rugs – long-lasting, absorbent, free from synthetic materials.

5. How to Communicate Your Eco Approach to Guests?

• Mention eco textiles in the room or apartment description.

• Include a label or info card explaining the certification.

• Add a gentle notice in the bathroom (e.g. “Ormire towels – organic softness without compromise”).

• Share it on your website and social media – it’s a powerful USP.
