- Buckstaff Baths. Much of the city's delightful architecture has been preserved in charming Neo-classical and Spanish-style museums along Bathhouse Row. But there's one bathhouse that has operated continuously since 1912, making it the city's longest-running facility.
- Quapaw Baths. If you're in need of something more full-service, head to Quapaw Baths, a contemporary, European-style spa facility. Like at Buckstaff, the thermal water is piped directly into the soaking pools, but the menu also offers services such as foot scrubs, steamy facials, herbal-infused towel wraps, and something called a Mudslide — a signature service that incorporates a full clay body mask — followed by a MicroSilk treatment, which uses tiny oxygen bubbles that reach into the pores to promote skin cell growth and reduce wrinkles.
- Gallery Walk. For culture lovers, Hot Springs National Park has also made a name for itself as a serious art destination. That's most apparent at the Ozark Bathhouse, a 1922 Spanish Colonial Revival building made of white stucco and red clay tile.
- The Sunset Trail. The city of Hot Springs is built right into the park itself, so getting into nature isn't hard to do. One popular route, the Sunset Trail, leads to several impressive mountain overlooks that face away from the city entirely.
