On-Premise and Central Laundries
Greater control over linen care and daily operating costs
On-premise laundry gives hotels direct control over linen processing, helping maintain a reliable supply of linens for housekeeping. Continental helps hotels match equipment capacity to daily linen volume through production analysis, equipment sizing and laundry-room planning.
Programmable wash cycles, high-speed extraction and shorter drying times help reduce processing time and control water and energy costs. Utility savings assessments identify additional opportunities to improve efficiency, while hands-on training helps staff operate equipment confidently and keep daily laundry running smoothly.
Guest Amenity Laundry
Convenient laundry access that enhances the guest experience.
Guest amenity laundry gives travelers access to washers and dryers without leaving the property, adding convenience throughout their stay. Continental helps hotels plan guest amenity laundry around available space, expected guest usage, equipment capacity and projected ROI.
Easy-to-use controls simplify laundry for guests, while compact and stackable equipment configurations increase laundry capacity within limited floor space. High-speed extraction helps guests complete laundry in approximately 60 minutes, adding convenience and enhancing the overall guest experience.
Valet and Specialty Laundry
Expand your operation with in-house laundry services.
Valet and specialty laundry services allow hotels to expand their in-house capabilities beyond traditional linen processing to guest garments, uniforms and specialty textiles. Continental helps hotels add new laundry services through project analysis, equipment recommendations and laundry layout planning based on available space, textile-care requirements and service goals.
Programmable wash cycles give staff the flexibility to process a wider range of garments and textiles with the appropriate care for each load. Hands-on training helps staff confidently manage laundry services.

What commercial laundry equipment is best for hotels and resorts?
The best commercial laundry equipment for hotels and resorts combines high-speed extraction, programmable wash cycles and moisture-controlled drying.

Moisture-sensing dryers stop automatically at the desired dryness level, preventing overdrying and extending linen life. Equipment should also integrate with existing chemical dispensing systems and laundry workflows to simplify installation and daily operation.
