There's nothing quite like slipping into a soft and cozy bathrobe in your hotel room after a long day of travel. Nothing except for wearing those ultra-luxurious hotel robes at home, that is. When researching the best hotel-quality bathrobes you can buy for your home, we evaluated robes for their level of comfort, style, durability, and versatility.

Our favorite luxury bathrobe, Parachute's Classic Bathrobe, has everything you'd ever want from a robe: it's super soft thanks to a Turkish cotton weave, it hits just below the knee, and it's absorbent. Looking for something longer, warmer, or more plush? Check out the list below for a few other robes we love.

Why We Love It: Parachute, big on size inclusivity, makes this robe in eight sizes.

What to Consider: It may be a bit tight in the shoulder area for some shoppers.

This ultra-cozy Turkish cotton bathrobe from Parachute will make you feel like you're blissing out at a five-star hotel spa every time you put it on. Its luxuriously soft feel coupled with a just-right weight and below-the-knee hemline provides royalty-level pampering and comfort, while a large pocket on either side keeps things practical. Designed with a sturdy waist tie and plush shawl collar, the robe is so lavish you may actually prefer it to your hotel's robes when you're on vacation. One of our favorite things about the robe is that it's loomed in Turkey with 450 grams of 100 percent long-staple cotton per square meter — but we also love that it comes in eight sizes, ranging from petite to plus size. Order it in one of five calming hues, including blush pink, mineral blue, and stone gray.

Why We Love It: Its absorbent material makes it the perfect after-shower robe.

Made from a super soft cotton terry knit, this short, breezy Ugg robe is perfect for lounging around the house. Along with two front pockets that are spacious enough to hold essentials like your phone and headphones, the plush bathrobe comes in two colors and three sizes. Because it's crafted with soft towel-like material, you can throw this on right out of the shower to soak up excess water on your body or in your hair. It's worth noting the robe runs slightly large, but that only provides an extra-cozy vibe.

Material: Cotton | Sizes: XS/S to XL/XXL | Care instructions: Machine wash, tumble dry

Why We Love It: The exterior is satiny to the touch, but the interior is a water-absorbent terry cloth.

What to Consider: It's heavy.

This bathrobe has a plush, roll-up collar and cuffs, and it comes in nine shades. The robe features a soft and cuddly microfiber material on the outside, while the inside is lined with absorbent terry cloth, meaning you can wear it straight out of the shower or hot tub. It also features two front pockets, a tie at the waist, and a sturdy hanger loop for easy storage. It's essentially a replica of your favorite hotel, spa, or cruise robe — it's just a little longer and cozier.

The hotel chain's lightweight microfiber bathrobe is soft, absorbent, and perfect for recreating vacation memories.

You don't have to check into a Marriott hotel to enjoy their fluffy cotton hotel robes. This comfy pick is made from a cozy terry velour fabric and features two deep front pockets, a sturdy waist tie, and a hook loop on the back of the collar. It's quite absorbent, but thanks to its velour construction, it's softer than the average terry cloth robe.

When shopping for a new bathrobe, keep in mind robes come in all different materials, lengths, and thicknesses. That's why it's a good idea to consider the temperature or season you'll be wearing your robe in. Plushy fleece robes certainly feel great to the touch, but if you're planning to wear the robe in higher temperatures, it'll surely have you sweating in no time. Similarly, short robes and robes made of silky fabrics may look cute, but don't expect them to provide much warmth in the winter or in an overly air conditioned hotel room.

If you're searching for a robe to wear after a shower or bath, it's nice to have something absorbent to eliminate the need for a towel. But the truth is, not all robes are designed to suck up excess shower water. If you're looking for something absorbent, stick to terry robes and skip materials like satin, fleece, and anything thin and stretchy.

Is your main objective getting cozy? If so, look for a robe that makes you feel good. If your weakness is an ultra-plush blanket, pick a robe made of soft fleece — it'll keep you warm and it'll be comfy enough to nap in. On the other hand, if comfort to you is a lightweight robe that won't weigh you down, opt for airy waffle knit styles and polyester robes that breathe. No matter what your preference, though, make sure you're buying something that actually fits. The last thing you want is a too-tight bathrobe when you're trying to relax.

If you wear your robe every day, throw it in with your weekly laundry load. If you only wear it occasionally, stick to washing it every three to four wears.

This depends on your personal preference and how you use your robe. If you wear your robe primarily as an after-shower garb, you can't go wrong with terry cloth. For comfort, materials like thick fleece or ultra-soft Turkish or Egyptian cotton are must-haves. Still, some people prefer a waffle weave for its versatility and similar feel to robes found at hotels and spas.

Travel + Leisure writers are shopping and travel experts, so they've lounged in their fair share of hotel, cruise, and spa robes. Based on their personal experience and research, authors Dobrina Zhekova, and Hillary Maglin rounded up the best bathrobes for comfort, style, durability, and water absorption — and they're just as luxurious as the ones you wore on your last vacation.
