Curator’s statement
I stayed at the Resort One Hotel in October, 2024, which included spa and breakfast access to the neighboring Art Spa Hotel. The hotels and spa had everything I could want and more for a relaxing getaway.

I stayed at the Resort One Hotel for a few nights, along with a friend who lives in Taipei. Our room was excellent, with a wonderful view, snacks and beverages. I loved the lounge room, separate from the library and the Japanese baths with water from the hot springs. Just a building away from the Art Spa Hotel, we had easy, complimentary access to the hot springs, spa, pool and waterslide and breakfast buffet there! We ended up adjusting our schedule to spend our last half day at the Art Spa Hotel, because we loved it so much! Besides hanging out in the spa, we loved exploring this quaint township. Across the street from our hotel, we had excellent cuisine at Yufuin Japanese Hot Pot Restaurant. But we didn't just stay in Jiaoxi, we took a 7-minute train ride to Toucheng Township to soak up the sand and sea at Wai'ao Beach.

Need to know
The Art Spa Hotel, directly connected to the spa includes in-room hot spring tubs. The adjacent Resort One Hotel has Japanese-style hot spring baths and a lounge room. Both hotels include a complimentary breakfast buffet with American, European and Asian cuisine.
Please note that all guests using the spa are required to wear a swim cap and swimwear that covers the torso and upper thighs. These are common swimwear requirements when visiting a spa or pool in Taiwan. Swimwear is available for purchase at the spa store. I bought a swim cap on site and wore a one-piece swimsuit with an open back and running shorts.
