Problems

This proposal is inactive, but it's worth adding this information for people looking how to map these things.

"Jacuzzi" is a registered trademark and should not be used.

Spa is ambiguous as in British English it means a health resort near a natural spring. Towns are built around such resorts and have names like "Leamington Spa."

About the best I can come up with is leisure=hot_tub.

If this proposal ever gets revived, allow areas as well as nodes. With good aerial imagery it's perfectly feasible to map them as areas. --Brian de Ford (talk) 15:44, 13 November 2020 (UTC)


"Spa is ambiguous as in British English it means a health resort near a natural spring" presents it's own solution to tag as liesure=resort + natural=spring and name the resort with whatever name it calls itself be it Spa, Day Spa, Spa Resort, Health Centre, etc. --Mamanakis (talk) 22:03, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

"Jacuzzi" is definitely wrong as per above as a brand and not a generic classifier. --Mamanakis (talk) 22:03, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Though the professional industry in both the US and UK defines the generic term for "Jacuzzi" as hydrotherapy spa and hot tub as a specific type of spa which is made of wood, the most commonly accepted colloquial term and also as used on wikipedia is hot tub so I concur with leisure=hot_tub. --Mamanakis (talk) 22:03, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

There is a amenity=public_bath + bath:type=hot_spring but a hot tub is something that could be found at a hot springs type public bath or swimming pool. A public bathing facility is more akin to a specific type of resort which might have one or more hot tubs. --Mamanakis (talk) 22:03, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
