Riverbend Hot Springs

Known For

Riverside soaking tubs with an unobstructed river view

Riverbend Hot Springs puts you in an open-air tub above the Rio Grande, a cozy nook of a soak that feels genuinely removed from time. The vintage interior of the surrounding property adds character that newer resorts simply can't manufacture.
