| | | | New Spa Underway | Construction of the new 17,000 square foot spa at the Hot Springs Lodge & Pool is underway. The new spa will have eight massage therapy rooms and one specialized hydrotherapy treatment room. Tub treatments, manicures and pedicures will also be offered.
R.A. Nelson of Avon is the contractor for the project. Smith Club & Spa Specialists in Basalt serve as consultants for the project and OLC Architects of Denver will oversee the architectural and interior designs. Completion of the project will be in phases with the spa opening in the fall of 2008.
Reconfigurations to the Athletic Club racquetball courts, ventilation systems, showers and bathroom areas are also taking place in the historic sandstone structure.
Construction will be contained in a defined area so will have very little impact on Hot Springs Pool patrons. | | | | Entrance to Athletic Club Moved to Pool Lobby | The Athletic Club entrance is temporarily relocated to the main Pool lobby during the renovation phase.
In addition, the parking lot directly in front of the Athletic Club will be used as a temporary construction staging area.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this renovation process. We are working diligently to make the Athletic Club better than ever! | | | | CO Hotel & Lodging Association Selects Hot Springs Employee, John Graves, as Employee of the Year | After reviewing dozens of nominations, the Colorado Hotel & Lodging Association (CH&LA) has selected John Graves with the Hot Springs Lodge & Pool (HSLP) as the statewide Employee of the Year in the Non-supervisory Administration and General category.
