Do any luxury hotels use decent toilet paper?
Something I've noticed lately, $1200 a night for park hyatt NYC and i see the bathroom has the ol' 150 grit special. Cmon why can't you get decent toilet paper when paying 4 digits per night.

PH doesn't usually cut it , this forum anyway..
Stay at The Mark . They have the best so far in the city & 🇺🇸 AFAIK !
Some in U.K. & Europe , am trying to recall which hotels .
In Asia , a few too .
Perhaps for certain guests , " numbers of ply " are increased ??

Even places like MO HK don't use anything as soft as US 3 ply Charmin. I think it's not in the culture or local market consumer goods.
It's a plus when they have the bidet washet and dryer.

I know you shouldn't have to but if you rang housekeeping and asked for some decent toilet paper would they oblige? Or sandpaper it is?

But (!), any decent hotel will go get something for a good guest if it is available. FS HK has run errands for me in the past and didn’t even charge.
Aventine said it best... PHNY is a big joke.

The answer to the OP's question is no and it totally drives me crazy. Why do all these fabulous hotels that charge hundreds or thousands of dollars a night use this Soviet quality toilet paper?

I suspect it is due to the trend towards recyling.

They could offer something akin to a pillow menu - from soft and smooth to extra rough.

Bring your own.
Travel tip: custom printed toilet paper can double as business cards.

Toilet Paper is Obsolete
What they should do is get Hand Bidet Sprayers. Washing is far cleaner than wiping and oh so kind to your behind. See bathroomsprayer.com.

After just being through Kyrgyzstan I was just grateful for a hole in the ground and a Waitrose anti-bacterial wipe.
