Bathhouse Row

Bathhouse Row is a historic promenade in Hot Springs, Arkansas, United States, located within Hot Springs National Park. This area is renowned for its natural thermal springs, which have been utilized for their purported health benefits for centuries, dating back to Native American use and possibly visited by Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1541.12

The row features eight grand bathhouses, built between the early 1900s and the 1930s, which were once central to the city's identity as a premier spa resort. While most bathhouses are now restored and serve as museums or visitor centers, the Buckstaff Bathhouse remains operational, offering traditional thermal spring treatments. The water from the springs flows at a high temperature and rate, making Bathhouse Row a unique historical and geological attraction.1
