The Ribbon Syndicate is the big building with the purple roof on the east side of the Resort Area.

Use Spa to Boost Friendship

Like the Massage Girl in Veilstone City, you can use the Spa once per day to boost friendship between you and your Pokemon. Unlike the Massage Girl, the Spa can also boost the friendship between you and an Egg, so that the Pokemon hatches with increased friendship.

The Spa is located on the second floor of the Ribbon Syndicate.
