On-Premise Laundry ยท Hospitality
Hotel laundry that keeps up with a full house.
A hotel laundry room has one hard requirement a laundromat never faces: every occupied room needs clean linen today, and a fully booked weekend does not wait for a machine to free up.
What makes this different
Capacity follows occupancy, not footfall
Demand is tied to room count and occupancy rate, which makes it predictable. It also means capacity has to be sized against a full house, not an average night, because the busiest weekend is exactly when a shortfall shows.
The turnaround window is fixed
Linen has to be washed, dried and back on the shelf between checkout and check-in. That window does not move, so extraction speed and dryer throughput matter more here than raw drum size.
Par levels decide how much slack you have
Three par is the common standard for a property with on-premise laundry: one set on the bed, one in the wash, one on the shelf. Luxury and high-occupancy properties usually run four to five. Sending laundry out needs at least one par more to cover transport.
One machine down is not a minor problem
A laundromat with one dead washer among forty loses a little revenue. A hotel with one dead washer can miss room turns, so backup capacity and service response are part of the specification, not an afterthought.
What we usually specify
Hotels are generally better served by fewer, larger washer extractors with high-speed extraction than by a laundromat-style floor of mid-size machines. The faster water leaves in the wash, the less time and gas the dryer needs, which is what actually protects the turnaround window.
- High extraction to cut dryer time on bulk linen
- Machines rated for continuous daily hours, not intermittent use
- Capacity headroom so a service call does not stop room turns
- Electrolux Professional on-premise lines, matched to your linen volume
What we need to size it
- Room count and typical occupancy through the week
- Whether you launder terry, bed linen or both on site
- The physical space and what water, gas and electrical service reaches it
- Your current par level, and whether you are trying to reduce it
- The turnaround window between checkout and check-in
You do not need all of it to start a conversation. Bring what you have.
Common questions
Answers specific to hotels & motels. Anything else, ask us directly.
What size washer does a hotel laundry room need?
It depends on room count, occupancy and whether you wash terry, bed linen or both on site. Hotels generally need larger washer extractors than a laundromat uses, sized to process a full day of linen inside the turnaround window between checkout and check-in rather than across the whole day.
How many par of linen should a hotel keep?
Three par is the common standard for a property with on-premise laundry: one set on the bed, one in the wash and one on the shelf. Luxury and high-occupancy properties commonly run four to five par, and properties sending laundry off site need at least one additional par to cover transport time.
Is on-premise laundry better than an outside linen service for a hotel?
On-premise laundry removes transport delay, which means you can hold less linen stock, and it gives you direct control over turnaround on a busy weekend. It requires the space, the utility service and the capital for equipment. Which is better depends on your property size, your linen volume and what your building can support.
