Soak in the Famous Hot Springs

Stay steps away from one of Colorado’s most iconic relaxation experiences. Our inn is within easy walking distance of Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and just a short drive from Iron Mountain Hot Springs, placing you in the heart of Glenwood Springs’ year-round mineral water oasis.

Glenwood Springs is renowned for its natural geothermal waters, drawing visitors for generations who seek rest, restoration, and a little mountain magic.

Glenwood Hot Springs Pool – Just a short stroll from your room, this historic landmark is one of the largest mineral hot springs pools in the world. With its expansive soaking pool and dedicated therapy pool, it’s perfect for a leisurely float, an invigorating swim, or simply unwinding beneath the open Colorado sky.

Iron Mountain Hot Springs – Only minutes away, this serene retreat offers a quieter, more intimate setting. Choose from multiple smaller soaking pools, each with varying temperatures, all overlooking the Colorado River and surrounding canyon walls. It’s an ideal spot to soak at sunset or enjoy a peaceful evening under the stars.

After a day of hiking, rafting, shopping downtown, or exploring the mountains, there’s nothing better than sinking into warm mineral waters and letting the stress melt away. Whether you prefer a lively, historic pool experience or a tranquil riverside soak, both are conveniently close — making relaxation effortless during your stay.
