The experience
A place worth getting to know.
A historic resort in downtown Glenwood Springs operating since 1888, home to the world’s largest hot springs pool alongside a hotter therapy pool. The property includes a 107-room lodge, poolside grill, Athletic Club, and the Sopris Splash Zone for kids. Day visitors can walk in without reservations and come and go all day.
Plan your visit
The supplied information does not list a general admission reservation requirement. Special services, capacity limits, and seasonal availability may still need advance planning.
The main pool is only about 90°F — milder than dedicated soaking pools, and it feels more like a warm swimming pool

The honest take
What to love. What to consider.
The highlights
- The world's largest hot springs pool with all-day in-and-out access on one pass
- No reservations required — buy online or walk in at the pool entrance
- On-site 107-room lodge, Athletic Club, grill, and family splash zone make it a complete resort stay
Keep in mind
- The main pool is only about 90°F — milder than dedicated soaking pools, and it feels more like a warm swimming pool
- Peak-day pricing up to $60 per adult is on the expensive side for what is essentially a big public pool
- It gets crowded on weekends and holidays, and the large pool is less of a serene soaking experience
