Calistoga Spa Hot Springs
1006 Washington Street
Calistoga, CA 94515
(707) 942-6269
TripAdvisor: 4 stars; 470 reviews
This charming property is one of the few places that offers a traditional mud bathing experience. With 56 renovated guest rooms, a full service spa, mud baths and mineral pools, it’s no surprise that the Calistoga Spa Hot Springs has been an institution in the valley for decades. Spa guests receive complimentary use of the naturally-heated mineral pools with 24-hour advance booking of a massage treatment or mud bath. Ironically, we’ve found a little dirt is the best way to clean away all those worries.
Insider Tip: For a real treat, experience a combination massage and bath treatment they call “The Works,” a true indulgence lasting over two hours.
