The hotel-style is a folding method that is popular for bath towels in hotels. The hotel-style is also known as the stacking method because it gives you clean edges and allows you to stack up against your towels neatly on a shelf.

Spread the towel on a flat horizontal surface. Make sure that you are close to the long edge of the bath towel. Take the towel edges on your right, fold them towards the middle, and do the same with the edges on your left side. Take the short ends and fold them towards the middle, each side at a time. Leave a small gap, which will create space for one more fold, in the area where the two short ends meet. Lastly, fold one end over the other and smooth out the bath towel surface using your palms. Store the folded towels in stacks on a shelf.

Do the same using the bottom left corner; you will get a triangular shape. Smooth out the towel using your palms then flip it upside down. Keep the pointed end facing the right and the longest edge close to you. Start rolling the bath towel from the left end to the pointed end. The tip will be exposed, secure the towel by tucking the tip into the tightly rolled towel.
