Hotels Go Hi-Tech to Prevent Stolen Towels

The Telegraph reports that hotels are going hi-tech to thwart towel thieves. Hotels can lose as much of 20% of their towels a month from theft.

William Serbin, executive vice-president of Florida-based Linen Technology Tracking, told the Telegraph, "Any given month, hotels can lose 5 to 20 per cent of towels, sheets and robes. That gets expensive with the rising cost of cotton."

To combat towel stealing guests, some hotels plan to have RFID chips stitched into towels. This will enable the hotels to track their towels and alart them if towels are removed from the hotel.

If you really want a hotel towel, you don't need to take one. Some hotels are now selling their towels online. Hilton sells its bath towels here on its Hilton Collection website.
