20 Oct Everyday Romance at Iron Mountain Hot Springs
Romance doesn’t have to wait for Valentine’s Day. At Iron Mountain Hot Springs, romance is in the air every day of the year!
Some of the best love stories unfold not in candlelit restaurants on February 14, but on quiet afternoons spent relaxing side by side and rediscovering what it feels like to just be together. Iron Mountain Hot Springs provides couples with the ideal setting for a day dedicated to conversation and connection.
Begin Your Day Together
Grab a coffee or pastry at a local café and ease into your Glenwood Springs getaway with a leisurely walk along the Rio Grande Trail. Follow the meandering paved path that borders the Roaring Fork River to the confluence, the spot where the Fork joins the Colorado River. The intersection is a natural symbol of togetherness, and the bridge near Two Rivers Park is the perfect spot for a couple’s selfie shot.
The Ultimate Couples Experience
Take romance to the next level. For a truly elevated soak, opt for Premier Access at Iron Mountain Hot Springs. The adults-only experience invites guests into an oasis of globally inspired soaking pools, perfect for couples. Each pool is designed to reflect the mineral content of famous hot springs destinations around the world, from Iceland to Japan to Italy.
Explore the world together, one pool at a time—relax into the inspired waters of exotic Bali, then slip into the Dead Sea pool and feel every ounce of stress magically dissipate. Every pool offers a new sensation, a different view, and a shared moment you can make completely your own.
To add a little scintillation to your visit, encourage your special someone to join you for a playful dip in the resort’s cold plunge pool.
Details That Deepen the Experience
With Premier Access (21+), couples enjoy thoughtful touches that make relaxation effortless. Towel service is included with admission. Each guest receives a complimentary locker and two thick pool towels. Cashless, remote ordering for food and drinks from either the Sopris Café or the Sandbar Café is another bonus that adds to the smooth flow of a romantic day. Order a poolside lunch for two without leaving your lounge chair. Consider starting with the smoked trout spread appetizer, followed by a crisp salad, a savory flatbread pizza, with wine, beer, or a cocktail alongside.
For an extra touch of luxury, upgrade your experience with a plush robe to wear throughout your visit. Robe rentals are just $15 each. As the mercury drops in the fall and winter months, there’s something delightful about feeling the chill mountain air on your skin and then slipping into a soft, cozy robe between soaks.
Relax & Slow Down
The best part of soaking at Iron Mountain Springs is that you have a full three hours to explore every pool. As you dip a toe into each one, don’t lose sight of the views all around that help settle you into a state of stress-free bliss. The property offers stunning views that include the Colorado River in the foreground, the snow-capped dual peaks of Mt. Sopris in the distance, the rugged slopes of Red Mountain across the river, and, of course, the endless blue skies overhead that Colorado is famous for. Between soaks, stretch out on chaise lounges scattered around the pool deck, raise a toast to love with a special drink, or just let the world fall away as you enjoy each other’s company.
End the Day in Glenwood Springs Style
After your rejuvenating soak, stroll hand-in-hand through downtown Glenwood Springs. Pop into local stores to shop for souvenirs, split a ginormous gourmet ice cream served in a waffle cone, or pull up a chair for a delicious and romantic meal at one of the town’s many restaurants.
Romance, Reimagined
Romance isn’t just reserved for special occasions; it’s more often found in the intentional moments. At the heart of any great couple’s getaway is shared experiences and deep connections. At Iron Mountain Hot Springs, you’ll find everything you need to fan the flames of love—warm waters, breathtaking scenery, and time to focus on each other.
