Symes Hot Springs Hotel & Mineral Baths ~ Hot Springs, Montana

Rach, soaking it up at Symes Hot Springs Hotel & Mineral Baths

JOE: This place was pretty sweet. Not just Symes Hot Springs Hotel & Mineral Baths, but the whole little town of Hot Springs, Montana itself. It was a charming old historic feeling area and it had an amazing co-op grocery store in it, too! Rachel, Joy, and I just had to swing through this place on the tail end of our gigantic road trip adventure before we left Montana and I'm sure glad we did. Symes proudly boasts being one of the last surviving Grand Hotels of the old West and it really is just that. While we didn't stay the night, we did walk the grounds a bit and of course had a dip in their pool and hot soaking tub. This must have been a most welcome destination back in the days of cowboys and the wild, wild west. 

Symes Hot Springs Hotel & Mineral Baths. One of the last Grand Hotel's of the old West!

The hotel offers 31 rooms and even has jacuzzi sweet that is fed by the mineral waters. There is also 15 cabins and a convenience apartments (not sure what that means?) as well. Their website also informs me that the bath wing still has four of the original clawfoot tubs in private stalls for bathing, too. There is a new two-person jetted tub and a jacuzzi steam that you can rent by the hour. They also have a day spa that features Swedish massage.And on top of that they have an annual Hot Springs Blues Festival which I bet is super fun. And while this little ranching community and town is pretty well off the beaten path, I would certainly recommend heading out to it if you were anywhere even remotely near there to soak yer bones in these healing waters. As I mentioned above, the town itself is pretty charming for its tiny size and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and selection of wholesome goods the co-op in town had. This visit for us only lasted about an hour and a half as we were just popping by to check it out and still had many hours of travel on the road towards home that day. It would be sweet to stay there for a night or two and have the opportunity to have stayed in one of the last "Grand Hotel's" of the old West! Willy Cosmo is going to dig this place one day, too...
