When you’re ready to indulge in luxury, Quapaw Baths won’t disappoint. Now a full-service spa, it offers all your favorite pampering services. However, what it’s really known for is its thermal water services and steam cave. It’s truly one of America’s coolest spa retreats, and it’s right here in Arkansas!
Quapaw Baths is located on the historic Bathhouse Row in the heart of downtown Hot Springs.
It was built in 1922, and quickly grew into a popular soak spot, revered for its healing mineral waters.
During its heyday, it was sought out by people from near and far.
In 2008, after a long closure, the bathhouse re-opened as Quapaw Baths and Spa. It didn’t just change its name, though. The updated Quapaw Baths offers a slew of modern spa services.
Of course, it still offers the thermal baths that originally put it on the map.
The soaking pools are situated underneath a gorgeous skylight of stained glass and surrounded by lots of lounge chairs, making for an especially relaxing experience.
Today, there are four thermal pools, giving visitors the chance to bathe in the same mineral-rich, thermal waters as those decades ago.
In addition to the public pools, there are private bathing areas, which are ideal for solo visitors and couples seeking solitude.
Ranging from 98 degrees - 105 degrees and rich in silica, calcium, magnesium, free carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, and sulfate, the water that fills the thermal pools (and private baths) boasts a slew of health benefits.
Mineral-rich thermal waters aren’t Quapaw Baths’ only unique feature, though.
There’s also the Steam Cave, which is basically an underground sauna. The steam is actually produced by the hot springs!
The perks don’t end there, though. Quapaw Baths also boasts a café and boutique.
So, what do you think? Are you ready to go for a relaxing soak? For more info, visit the Quapaw Baths website.
This isn’t the only relaxing retreat in Arkansas. There are lots more, including this cabin with its very own Finnish sauna.
