- Historic Hot Wells sulfur springs resort in San Antonio, Texas, next to Mission San Jose, and the hike/bike trail of the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River Improvements Project attracted the rich, famous, and adventuresome for its healing mineral waters for bathing, dining, strolling, courting, gambling, and ostrich races.
Excellent production! Thanks for taking time to produce and post. When I was a park ranger at Mission San Jose in 2001 I spent hours looking at the ruins from across the river. I had always hoped that someone would bring the site back to life one day.
I wish they would restore it and make it into a museum if they have old pictures of only they had pictures of the famous people that stayed there. That would make money to restore it
I grew up near there we use to go fish the river as we walked by we could smell the sulphur springs water. We always wondered why no one ever revitalized that hotel it had so much character and history. It is my opinion "The problem nowadays that to many people don't give importance to such a historical ICON as the Hot Wells Hotel and have no interest in preserving something so truly Texan in its History!".
IF I WAS A MILLIONAIRE I RESTORE IT EXACTLY TO WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE AND REOPEN IT!!!
I recently went to see if it really exist and was surprised. It was dark so my pictures didn't come out too well but I think its awesome. I would like to see it in the daytime but I work in daylight hours.
Where in SA was the Hot Wells resort located?
Recently my class went there on a tour, you just gotta ask the care takers permission to be on the property, I forgot their names, but it is a guy who is the caretaker and his wife. And you can even go into the hot spring which isn't big, but considering its in ruins right now, one cannot complain.
@slider28 Its still there I have seen it from the outiside but there is a lady that lives in a trailer on the property and has only let one person in there to take pics for a college course. You can find them online.
Actually I think only the bathouse is still there
So, whats happining now with the property?
