The advantage of wholesale bedding purchases is the relative affordability of a hotel linen collection, as compared to what you would find in a neighborhood store or mall. Purchasing wholesale, however, is not really a requirement when making your purchase through the internet.
Oftentimes, the selection of bed sheets as found in a physical store is quite sparse. With most people having different aesthetic tastes, it would be hard to find a store that truly matches your sensibilities. You would usually have to resort to your second or third choice for beddings.
If you’ve ever been impressed by the way a hotel room looks, in particular its beddings, then you probably have considered buying the same type of sheets, but didn’t know where to start looking. Indeed, hotels usually purchase their supplies from wholesale sellers.
The internet has changed this. Until recently, these bedding sheets could only be sold to the big guys because wholesaling was cost-effective this way. But now, when small purchases can be made straight from the manufacturer without any additional cost, you can now have your own comforters bedding or any type of hotel bedding at a good price, at the same quality as that of a five-star hotel.
Now, you can really make a choice, limited only by your imagination. You can find that Egyptian cotton bed sheet set that you always wanted ever since seeing it in one of your favorite hotels, or that exotic covering for the feather bed in that city whose name you could not even pronounce.
You can have silk bedding or organic bedding, or any other type of luxury bedding as you see fit. But it is not only a variety of styles that you can choose from, but the size of your particular bed. You can choose between kids’ comforters or king comforters, or have extra long comforters if this suits you.
But don’t look at just any website. Sure the internet has really increased our access to such great products, that the various online bedding stores have no choice but to compete and offer better quality services, at lower and lower prices. Online marketing might require the continuous use of promos, to the benefit of customers like you and I. But you will find all you need at Sobel Westex, which provides all sorts of hotel supplies, at the best prices.
Take a look yourself at any other website around, and you will see that http://www.SobelWestex.com is already offering you the best that you can find. If you want variety, and quality fabric of every size and color, then this is the place to check out. They already have such a long and illustrious track record of supplying goods to hotels in major cities in the United States.
Online orders are here to stay, and you should take full advantage of the opportunities provided by the internet, and this means buying with as much variety as possible, and at the lowest price. With just a few clicks of your mouse, you can have your hotel linen collection right at home.

Everyone has a personal record for the amount they’ve spent on a hotel room. Whether it was for a one-off treat or just because everywhere else in town was full, most people have sampled a luxury hotel at one point or another. Sometimes it’s worth it, sometimes it hurts. In either case, when the bill came, you probably didn’t want to look!
But for the super rich, the cost of our so-called luxury accommodation is just part of the package. All around the world, luxury hotel suites are designed to cater to this elite, with every imaginable feature, priceless furnishings, lavish service, and a price to match. These boutique hotels are the playgrounds of the rich and famous when they travel abroad – celebrities, millionaires, pop stars, heads of state and royalty are the most frequent residents…Some of them pay and others are invited. Here are five of the most expensive luxury hotel suites in the world.
Presidential Suite, Hotel Martinez
Price: $18,500 a night
Cannes is Europe’s answer to Hollywood, so it’s no surprise that it contains a luxury hotel suite with this kind of price tag. Decorated in an Art Deco style, it measures 8,000 square feet in total. The wraparound terrace (which can hold over 100 people) is 2000 square feet on its own, and has views of the entire Bay of Cannes. Other features include a Turkish bath, personal sauna, 24 hour on call butler and a free bar – though breakfast is not included in your bill.
Guests at this famous hotel have included Jodie Foster, Francis Ford Coppola and Monica Belluci. One Saudi sheik liked the Presidential Suite so much that he wanted to hire it out for five years. The hotel, confident of being able to fill the suite in spite of its price, refused his request.
Imperial Suite, President Wilson Hotel, Geneva
Price: $23,000 a night
You pay for security as much as luxury at this famous hotel suite in Geneva. Positioned next to the United Nations Headquarters and designed for travelling heads of state, the Imperial Suite features bullet proof glass and bedside alarm buttons, and can only be reached by a private elevator.
With views of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, the suite contains five bathrooms, four bedrooms, a cocktail lounge, a library, its own Steinway grand piano and a mahogany dining table that can comfortably seat 26 guests. It costs approximately $23,000 a night. Breakfast is not included but the service can’t be argued with – when one guest requested a bed that could not fit in the lift, the hotel hired a crane to get it in the bedroom.
The Bridge Suite, Atlantis Hotel, Paradise Island
Price: $25,000 a night
The Bridge Suite sits on top of the bridge that connects the two Royal Towers in this resort on the aptly named Paradise Island. For $25,000 a night you get your own butler, entertainment centre, 50-foot bar lounge, marble baths and a décor described as conveying “regal majesty” by the hotel staff. For regal majesty, read lots of gilded mirrors and windows, golden sofas, and a ten-foot four-poster bed with hand-painted linen sheets. Subdued and tasteful it isn’t, but if you like to see some eye-watering opulence in your five figure luxury hotel suite, this may be the one for you.
Ty Warner Penthouse, Four Seasons Hotel, New York
Price: $30,000
This boutique hotel spared no expense when it came to furnishing the penthouse on its 52nd floor. Gold thread curtains, walls inlaid with mother of pearl, onyx bathroom floors, and even a shark skin coffee table are all part of the package here, along with stunning views over Manhattan and even a waterfall in the so-called Zen room. For those who like a little more than the standard room service, this luxury hotel suite comes with unlimited treatments from an in-house masseuse, a butler on 24 hour duty and a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce.
Hugh Hefner Sky Villa, Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas
Price: $40,000
Perhaps it’s no surprise that Hugh Hefner’s name is attached to the ultimate in luxury hotel decadence. At a jaw dropping $40,000 a night, the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa is the world’s most expensive hotel suite, located (appropriately enough) in the Fantasy Tower of the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Amongst the eccentric extras are an eight foot revolving bed with ceiling mirrors, an indoor waterfall, an exercise room, sauna, and a terrace pool projecting out over the edge of the Fantasy Tower with the Playboy Bunny logo stamped firmly in the centre.

There’s nothing quite like staying at an outstanding luxury hotel. The service is excellent, the facilities superb and the entire experience leaves you feeling relaxed, invigorated and utterly spoilt. Yet there are plenty of so-called luxury hotels out there who are not worthy of the title, who fall short in some critical area and leave their guests wanting more.
Every hotel is unique, and there is no checklist or official seal of approval that marks out a great hotel from a merely average one. But if you are staying at a hotel that claims to be one of the best, there are certain philosophies of excellence that you should expect to be followed. Whether you are staying at a tiny boutique hotel with only a dozen rooms or a massive 5 star resort hotel, here are some of the things you should look out for to really test the quality of your accommodation.
Superb attention to detail
What marks out a true luxury hotel from the pretenders is the attention to detail. There are a thousand and one little ways in which a luxury hotel can demonstrate its quality, from a complimentary bottle of champagne when you arrive to a main hall that seems like a work of art. The best hotels are those which take great pains to instil quality in every possible way, and which even the most hard to please perfectionist would struggle to find fault with.
Highly personalised service
A truly great luxury hotel stands or falls on the quality of its staff. They should be polite, knowledgeable and helpful, but above all you should be treated like an individual, not as just another patron. If you have individual needs or desires, staff at a true luxury hotel will work hard to accommodate it. Not all will go as far as the staff at President Wilson Hotel in Geneva, who once hired a crane to get a requested bed up to the penthouse suite, but if you stay at a luxury hotel, expect personalised service!
Luxurious accommodation
If you have paid luxury hotel prices, you should expect your room to be of the highest quality. To say the least, the room should be spotless when you arrive, but more than that, it should exude luxury and comfort from every corner. In many boutique hotels, each room is individually designed for that personal touch, but whether your room is one of a kind or one of a hundred identical rooms, a luxury hotel room should ideally leave you with nothing to complain about.
Top quality facilities
The sense of luxury shouldn’t stop at your room. Luxury and boutique hotels often have additional facilities attached to them – restaurants, spas, gyms and so on. If they do, then they should be of same quality that you would expect from your room and the main hotel. If a hotel has outstanding rooms but a mediocre restaurant attached to it, or a perfunctory sports centre or hotel bar, it is a missed opportunity to truly dazzle its guests.
