The Bathing Floor, Room by Room

You have changed, the locker key is in your hand, and you are standing in the 4th-floor corridor. Somewhere ahead is the sound of water bubbling; from somewhere else comes the smell of heated hinoki. You are still dry, and this is where your feet slow down. Which way do you go?

The hour before you were standing in that corridor was our job. A private car waited at your hotel door, anywhere in Macau, and the same service brings you back. Up on the 4th floor of the New Orient Landmark Hotel you gave the desk one name, and the two free add-on services are yours to choose once you are inside. Then the locker key was put in your hand; clothes and toiletries are all provided inside, and your bag went into the locker. So right now all you are holding is one key, and everything else has already been done for you. Which way to go is what this page walks you through.

The venue sits in Macau’s NAPE district, on the 4th floor of the New Orient Landmark Hotel, and it is open 24 hours; therapists are on duty from 13:00 to 06:00 the next morning, and those are two separate facts. Sauna entry is MOP 1,199, Shanghai-style massage MOP 2,699, packages MOP 3,399 to 7,499, plus a 10% service charge, on the September 2026 board. Prices follow the venue’s own board, with the current menu confirmed when you book. The full breakdown and the add-on list live on the price page. What that entry buys you is the whole bathing floor below.

The changing room comes first. Keep the locker key on you and lock your valuables away. On the way in you pass the showers, and the rule of any bathing floor is that you rinse before you get in the water. Do not skip it.

Your first stop is the hot-pool hall. The water is always moving, dark brick walls hold the pool, and above it stands a full wall of Chinese timber lattice with a single round window cut into the middle, light dropping through it. Soaking first is not a ritual. It gets your body warm so that when you step into a steam room you do not want straight back out. Once your back starts to sweat, walk over to the two rooms.

There are two of them, and this is where most first-timers stall. They are not two versions of the same thing.

The hinoki dry sauna is the dry one. Pale cypress covers the walls and the tiered benches, a warm yellow light strip hides under the seats, and the floor is laid in narrow wooden slats. The air is dry, the heat creeps up slowly, breathing is easy, and you can stay a while. The benches are tiered, higher means hotter, and on a first visit you take the lower one. The smell of heated wood is strongest in this room.

The glass steam room is the wet one. It is walled in glass, so you can see the pocket of warm light inside from outside it, while the lighting in the walkway runs cool and violet. Two kinds of light, one pane between them. Inside, humidity is high, the heat arrives fast, and your throat and sinuses open up first. Nobody stays long in this one. Come out when you have had enough.

The order is simple: rinse, soak in the hot pool, sit a stretch in the hinoki dry sauna, rinse again, then the glass steam room, then back to the pool to finish. Reversing it is not wrong, and the route is yours to choose, but soaking before steaming is the version your body keeps up with. Photographs of every area are in the gallery, and each room is described on the facilities page.

When you head for the massage rooms you pass the long corridor. Deep red walls, a run of lattice light panels, a string of amber lanterns following the walkway, pale floor tiles, warm light throughout. Walk it slowly. The heat you are carrying settles here.

All massage takes place in private rooms. Each has its own bathtub behind a timber lattice screen. That is worth knowing in advance: when you are done you do not have to cross the whole floor back to the showers. You rinse there, dress there, and you leave the room already clean.

After that most people go back for one more soak in the hot-pool hall, or sit in the dark-timber lounge area. The venue runs 24 hours, so stay if you want to. The lobby rest area is free, and if you want a space with a door that closes, a private rest room can be added for a fee; ask us about types and cost when you book. There is a whole page on staying overnight.

The three things first-timers get stuck on

“Do I have to do both steam rooms?” Yes, but not back to back. Longer in the dry one, shorter in the wet one, a rinse in between. Picking only one is fine too, and most first visitors prefer the hinoki dry sauna.

“What does sauna entry actually include?” The whole bathing floor: hot-pool hall, both steam rooms, showers and changing room. Massage is a separate choice from the menu.

“What time should I arrive?” The venue is open around the clock, so if you only want to soak or rest, any hour works. If you want a massage arranged, land inside 13:00 to 06:00. If you cannot fix a time yet, send us a message and we will check that day’s slots for you.

The date, how many of you, roughly what time you arrive, whether you are staying the night: one WhatsApp or Telegram message covers it. What time the car is at your door, which pool you get into first, which way you go when the steam is done, none of that is yours to work out.
