Hangzhou Rose Garden Resort & Spa sits on Zhijiang Road in the Zhijiang area south of West Lake, on the Qiantang River side of Hangzhou. Unlike the city's hotel spas, this is a hot-spring resort built around a network of mineral soaking pools set in garden grounds, drawing visitors for half-day or longer soaking sessions rather than a single treatment. The mineral hot spring pools are the main draw, complemented by herbal bath therapy that adds traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients to select pools, full-body massage for guests who want a treatment alongside the soak, and sauna and steam rooms for guests to alternate with the pools. There are no on-site therapist-training claims specific to a named school, but staff are experienced in herbal bath preparation typical of Zhejiang hot-spring resorts. Reservations for entry are recommended on weekends, when the resort draws day-trippers from central Hangzhou; treatments booked alongside the soak should be arranged on arrival or in advance for popular time slots.
