A Living Landmark at the Heart of Hot Springs

Step back into the golden age of American travel at the historic Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa, the architectural crown jewel of Hot Springs. Since 1875, this American treasure has served as the social and cultural heartbeat of the city, standing as a grand monument to history, luxury and the healing powers of the thermal waters.

The Thermal Water Experience

As a cornerstone of the Spa City attraction, The Arlington is one of the few places where you can still experience the original Thermal Water Bathhouse. Located on the third floor, this historic facility allows you to rejuvenate in the same mineral-rich hot springs water that made the city famous, paired with traditional massage therapy and thermal water facials.

Full-Service Salon & Spa

Beyond the historic Thermal Water Bathhouse, The Arlington's Salon & Spa, located on the Mall level, offers a full range of wellness and beauty services in a relaxed setting. Guests can enjoy massages, facials, body treatments, manicures, pedicures and salon services, providing a modern complement to the hotel's long-standing tradition of rest, renewal and self-care. Together, the Bathhouse and spa experiences continue a legacy that has drawn visitors to Hot Springs for generations.
