About

The Buckstaff Bathhouse is the only bathhouse on Bathhouse Row in Hot Springs National Park to have operated continuously since 1912, preserving the traditional thermal-bathing ritual for which the town is famous.

  • Whirlpool mineral bath in a porcelain tub
  • Sitz bath
  • Steam / vapor cabinet
  • Needle shower (a returning tradition)

  • Optional Swedish massage
