Why you should go…

The Buckstaff Bathhouse has operated continuously on Hot Springs National Park's historic Bathhouse Row since 1912, the only bathhouse there to do so without interruption. It offers traditional thermal mineral baths using the area's natural hot spring water, along with Swedish massages, sitz baths, vapor cabinets and needle showers. The building retains its original marble interiors and vintage fixtures, and swimsuits are not required since linens and supplies are provided.
