Abandoned lodges found at Hot Wells Hotel: San Antonio, Tx

[@cekck]

Great video! I actually got to experience the "Flame Room" and even stayed overnight at one of the "Cottages" back in 1973 a few years before the Flame room finally burned down and the cottages were abandoned and fell to decay. An overnight stay was about $20.00. The Flame room was very interesting, with lots of stuffed animals and neon signs, the whole atmosphere reminding me of being in a speak-easy from the 1930s. From the back of the Flame room lounge, you could walk out and see over the pool that was once used, the scent of sulfur still evident. I was probably one of the last individuals to actually experience the last remnant of the old Hotwells hotel.

As a texas native who's never heard of this place before, this is so cool, thanks for sharing!

We were there in high-school when the buildings were still up. And what we experienced was CRAZY

I not only had beers in the "Flame Room" I also swam in the sulfur water pools. This was in the 70's.

My husband used to swim at the Hot Wells swimming pool when he was a little boy. I sure would like to go swimming there. Hot or warm sulfur water is very healing to swim in. Even cold sulfur water is extremely healing. People go to Hancock Springs swimming pool in Lampasas and experience a lessening of joint pain in less than an hour. That swimming pool is cold sulfur water.

This is a great find! My wife and I were out there not that long ago and had no idea that those cottages were there. Definitely making another trip out there soon. Thanks for sharing this.

I first went here in the summer of 2014, the caretaker of the property guided me around and told me about the history of the hotel

[@racheldelgado5646]

Awesome find. Thanks. I attended some art events there before it became the park but never ventured further out.

Me and my daughter's went there yesterday. Very interesting place with a lot of history. I also found those ruins and thought it was the hotel. But you're right it the cabins why didn't I think of that. I also have a you tube channel and was thinking of a video. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it. I will subscribe 👍

I found this place by making a wrong turn. I just left it and now I will have to go back tomorrow to see if they are still there.

[@thesaexplorer]

It should be there still, this was filmed back in February 2020

Can you give me the address

I'm fascinated by all the places in Texas that had allegedly healing waters! I hadn't heard of this one.
