Excelsior Springs is the only natural supply of ferromanganese mineral water in the United States, and it’s become a popular destination for tourists seeking the benefits of the healing waters. This Excelsior Springs hotel has been welcoming guests for 130 years, and as might be expected in this part of Missouri, the highlight here involves a spa. The Grotto Experience is inspired by Roman baths and features a series of cold, warm and hot baths as well as steam and dry rooms. Make sure to check out the Exfoliation Bar, where you can apply a custom blend of sea salts, herbs and essential oils in a self-service setting.
