Bacolux Afrodita Resort & Spa is a 110-room, 4-star hotel about 390 meters from the center of Băile Herculane, a spa town on the Cerna Valley in southwestern Romania at 168 meters altitude. The town's isothermal and hyperthermal mineral springs — sulphurous, chlorinated, calcium-sodic and weakly radioactive — range from roughly 38°C to 60°C and have been developed since Roman Emperor Trajan established baths here around 102 AD under the name 'Ad Aquas Herculis Sacras Ad Mediam' (the Sacred Waters of Hercules near Mehadia), with temples and statues dedicated to Hercules, Asclepius and Hygieia. Run by the Romanian hospitality group Bacolux, the resort draws on this same historic thermal-mineral water source for its spa and treatment facilities.
Băile Herculane's baths trace to Roman Emperor Trajan, who established them around 102 AD under the name 'Ad Aquas Herculis Sacras Ad Mediam' (Sacred Waters of Hercules near Mehadia). The Romans built temples, monuments and statues here dedicated to Hercules, Asclepius and Hygieia, making it one of continental Europe's oldest continuously documented spa towns.
