]]> In “As Cotton Prices Rise, So May the Cost of Hotel Rooms“, CNBC cites the soaring costs of linens and towels as a potential contributor to higher hotel prices. I was most fascinated with the incredible price hikes since last summer.

Prices are from 2010 to 2011 as paid by hotels.

  • Queen-sized sheets: $72/dozen to $116/dozen (+61%)
  • Pillows: $8.80 to $9.56 (+9%)
  • Bath towels: $41/dozen to $64/dozen (+56%)

Cotton prices have been the main driver for skyrocketing costs.

Using BAL as an example, cotton has risen at least 162% since the end of 2010.
