Experience a Colorado Resort Spa that is Unpretentious and Small-town Friendly

People have been gravitating to Glenwood Hot Springs Resort for the efficacious qualities of the geothermal spring water and to recharge their batteries for 130 years. Today many traditional resort spas remain exclusive, restrictive and prohibitively expensive. Creating a welcoming wellness environment for all, Glenwood Hot Springs Resort is an exception.

More laid back luxe than country club aloof.

• Geothermal. The pleasure of soaking in geothermal water is one that is loved universally by people from all walks of life—from families with young children to sojourning retirees to girlfriend groups to newlyweds. People seem to instinctively know the hot springs are an antidote to the stresses of everyday living. A soak in the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool is an opportunity to relax, unwind and unplug—even if for just a few hours.

Resort tip: Chat up the locals who come for their daily soak in the Therapy Pool.

• Fitness. The Glenwood Hot Springs Athletic Club is consistently voted one of the premier fitness facilities in the Roaring Fork Valley. Guests aged 18 and older can drop in for classes or to enjoy its other amenities such as sauna, steam room, whirlpool, towel service and fully-stocked locker rooms. Catering to the demand for fitness that balances movement and mindfulness, the Club features a roster of yoga, Pilates and Barre classes. Some even take place in the zero-gravity environment of the hot springs pool. Spin, strength and cardio instruction round out the offerings.

Resort tip: Take an early morning class or go for walk on Glenwood Springs’ many trails.

• Spa. Skin is the body’s largest organ and caring for it from head to toe is an art form and time-honored tradition at the award-winning Spa of the Rockies at Glenwood Hot Springs Resort. In conjunction with the geothermal waters, many spa treatments incorporate essential minerals to revitalize health and wellbeing. The Spa’s Signature Experiences include sumptuous treatments, soaking in the mineral spring water and access to the athletic club. Treatment rooms for couples, a Vichy shower, private soaking tubs and a serenity room further aid in relaxation.

Resort tip: Don’t rush—leave plenty of time before and after your treatment to fully absorb the healing benefits.

• Rest. A hot springs resort retreat can help encourage or re-establish healthy sleeping habits. If you don’t already get the recommended six to eight hours of sleep, spend a few days at Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge where room interiors are an extension of spa’s ambiance. Comfortable beds with luxury linens encourage a deep, restorative sleep especially after an evening soak. The resort offers many affordable packages with options for spa, activities and more. Pool admission and breakfast are always included.

Resort tip. Unplug from electronics; read a book or listen to calming music before bed.
