Similar to the Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge, the Spa of the Rockies combines contemporary elements without loosing sight of historic roots. Some of the original architecture is still in place today- including original grand staircases and the original fireplace and mantel that were built in 1890.
The historic sandstone bathhouse offers eight soundproof treatment rooms overlooking the pools. Services include facials, make-up, waxing, mani/pedi, holistic massages as well as soaks and baths. To start your treatment, cozy up in a robe and slippers while enjoying tea and snacks. All treatments use organic and handmade plant based Zents products. Treatments take root of the Ute Indians, who discovered healing plants and herbs such as juniper, stonecrop, wild rose and calendula, rosehip and many more. These herbs and plants are still used in several treatments. Try the Rosehip & Maize Gentle Renewal Facial to repair skin for $99.
Formerly a bathhouse, the historic stairway still stands at the Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge.
