"A storied Virginia destination built around some of the nation’s oldest thermal baths, with a bathing history that begins in 1761 and recent multimillion-dollar restorations to preserve those historic pools. The property offers a large luxury hotel with hundreds of rooms, an extensive spa program, and an adults-only Serenity Garden with geothermal pools fed by springs rich in magnesium, potassium, and calcium that hold around 96–97°F. The resort spans thousands of acres of Allegheny Mountain landscape, features historic Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ bathhouse structures located a few miles from the main hotel, and combines heritage tours, tree-lined trails, and modern wellness amenities for a comprehensive restorative experience (reservations required for the historic bath facilities, which operate on a scheduled weekly basis)." - Michelle Baran
