Armour’s Hotel & Spa

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Armour’s Hotel & Spa is the only venue still offering mineral baths in a bathing house behind the main building. Located in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, Armour’s was first built in 1924, though it then went by the name Count’s Hotel. While there used to be other buildings at Armour’s Hotel and Spa that offered overnight accommodations, only the main house is still standing today. Currently, there are 24 rooms for rent, with eleven situated on the first floor. Known for its brickwork, it was the first and, for a time, the only building of this style in town. If you’re looking to soak, the best way to do it is to schedule a dip in the bathhouse. Clients are given thick robes and are often seen walking from their rooms to the spa clad in these plush wrappers. In the bathhouse, there are two claw-foot porcelain tubs for soaking. These are filled with the local mineral water, taken from wells on the property’s grounds. Soaks last for an hour and other services can be added to your spa visit. Massage therapy is offered on-site, as is vibroacoustic therapy (massage using sound waves) and heated biomats. The colonial revival-style mansion is long, 61 feet across the expansive front, and both stories have porches that extend the entire length. Rocking chairs dot these balconies, giving the building Southern charm. There are two types of rooms for accommodation: Deluxe and Suite. The Deluxe offers a queen-sized bed and pull-out sof
