Maybe it has to do with all the hard water, but hotel towels seem to dry you off with just a quick wipe! Anyone know what the secret is?

I think it is because they use bleach and no fabric softener.
Bleach makes the towels very dry and the fabric softener is not recommended because it repels not absorbs water.

They are 100% cotton and quite heavy -- the more loops, the more drying power. Also, yes it's true that faric softener makes towels less absorbent.
It could also be that if your hotel room is air conditioned, it's less humid in there -- another reason why you dry off faster.

I believe that the towels the hotels buy are the super absorbent kind. The way the housekeepers clean them also help, they put lots of softeners and fluffing detergent in it. Fluffiness also helps with how well it dries. The more flat it is the harder it is to get dry.
