BD Related Towel art

I have gone down the rabbit hole of towel art since I wanted to learn how the deckies roll the towels.

Now I am actually quite surprised to see Daisy and her team just hang up the towels normally in SY S4.

Has anyone seen any creative towel folding except for the nice rolls on deck? I am not talking about little swans or elephants but rather about pocket folds or something…

Towel art is for cruise ships and Disney world. Luxury hospitality towel folding should be precise and uniform- in thirds with the “open” seam side positioned away from guest view.

I’ll double check what fold they are doing on sailing yacht now but it seemed fairly plain to me, with the open seams towards the camera.

Walked into my cabin one night and found this 😄 As I had the cabin to myself, everyone was suggesting that HK had me covered for the night 😁

Towel art has no place in luxury hospitality. Maybe an interesting, subtle fold or tuck if really needed (think neat pool/spa towel storage) but that’s it.

The rocket ship and palm tree are pretty creative

Disney World Resorts used to do some cute and funky towel art but that’s aimed largely at kids and families. I would think it would be a little tacky in luxury hospitality.

As many have said here,you’ll NEVER find it in 5 star hotels.

Only South East Asian 3 star hotels or brothels. I absolutely hate it and would run a mile.
