Factors to Consider When Choosing Spa Robes and Slippers

“Our robes and slippers feel like a big hug and can be worn outdoors—from the guest rooms to the spa treatment rooms. The Coyuchi robes are made from organic cotton and provide comfort for all seasons and weather.”—Monika Jalovec, spa director, Post Ranch Spa at Post Ranch Inn (Big Sur, CA)

“The most important thing we evaluated when choosing our robes and slippers was quality and comfort. We wanted to make sure the robes and slippers were of good quality, but at the same time comfortable and light, due to the fact that our spa combines indoor treatments with outdoor amenities. Our Chadsworth & Haig robes are finely tailored with waffle weaves complemented with satin rope piping. They not only look great, but feel great. They are lightweight, offer full coverage without weighing down guests, and are extremely soft with a touch of stretch to provide the perfect fit. To top it off, the blended fabric is easy to care for and resists wrinkles to maintain a polished look throughout. Our ReadyCare sandals are eco-friendly and waterproof and remain soft and comfortable after multiple uses.” —Yenier J. Marrero, director of front office, spa, and retail operations, The Spa at Naples Grande Beach Resort (FL)

“When selecting robes and slippers, quality was my number-one priority. Ultra-plush robes that feel soft and luxurious can absolutely take the guest experience to a new level. I wanted something that was a bit elevated from a standard terrycloth robe, and selected a style from La Bottega with an extremely soft yet durable microfiber lining. The robes feel soft and warm, but are featherlight and truly are unmatched in quality. I love how comfortable and cozy our robes are. They feel like a warm embrace, and are one of our highest-requested items for purchase. The outer lining is soft and silky, and the inner lining feels like an ultra-soft and cozy hug. Our slippers are a beautiful partner to the robes. Slippers need to be comfortable and stylish, yet durable and easy to clean. The Cloud 9 Unisex Spa Sandals from Yeah Baby are the perfect blend. They are extremely comfortable, with soft flexible soles that offer great support and a non-slip outer sole. This makes them perfect for wet areas like the showers and steam rooms, without sacrificing style and comfort.”—Brennan Rosonet, spa director, The Windsor Court Spa at The Windsor Court (New Orleans)

“In choosing a robe, we wanted to make sure that we had something light for the summer by the beach but lined to keep guests warm during the winter months. In choosing spa slippers, we wanted to ensure that they were slip-resistant and comfortable. The Mansfield International robes were an instant hit with our guests and our members. The lining of the robes is amazing and it assists in wicking the water off of the body. The Oka-B sandals are very comfortable and they provide a safe feeling when walking through the amenities.”—Adam Estrella, area spa director, Pacific Waters Spa at Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa (CA)

“We have had Oka-B as our supplier for slippers for a long time and have a great partnership with the company. Oka-B has the perfect spa slipper, integrating the principles of reflexology and ergonomics for ultimate comfort. We receive a lot of compliments on our spa slippers and guests often wish to buy them. And for retail, Oka-B has dozens of styles and colors that bring joy to our guests— the retail line sells very well at our spa. We have recently partnered with Mansfield International for our Lux Diamond Microfiber Shawl Collar robes, and our guests love them. We considered the quality of the fabric and the detail of how it looks, as well. They are also at a great price point compared to the quality. Our robes truly enhance the guest experience; bathrobes are the last thing that our guests will be wearing and remembering. My favorite thing about our robes is how our guests look in them. They match our spa and the Eforea concept perfectly. In addition, they are so popular that we are also successfully retailing them.”—Mariëlle Smeets, senior director of resort experience, Eforea Spa at Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino (Noord, Aruba)

“We chose FeelGoodz for our slippers because the company uses upcycled natural rubber and vegan materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. The footwear is also easy to clean. The spa slippers’ contoured footbed, textured surface, and molded toe bar allow for a comfortable, non-slip fit. The quality and comfort of The Edition robe from La Bottega make it the most dreamy bathrobe. It wraps the body in a cloud, and it’s like wearing the entire bed of your most luxurious hotel fantasy, and you can disappear into its comforting cocoon.”—Alison Kirsten, director of spa operations, Fairmont Spa Century Plaza at Fairmont Century Plaza (Los Angeles)
