Tanya and Sandy are wonderful! I splurged on the pamper me package and am so glad I did. Tanya’s foot rub and facial was simply amazing. I could feel the layers of stress melt off my body. Sandy finished with a 75 minute massage and I could barely keep my eyes open I was so relaxed. Have a new spring in my step now and definitely lighter without the stress. Highly recommend!!

3. La Provence Spa

This is our favorite place to visit in Glenwood Springs. Gigi (Virginia) at Le Soleil is truly wonderful. I recommend the intense but deeply muscle-relaxing ashiatsu massage, which is unlike anything I’ve experienced elsewhere. There’s a full menu of spa treatments, if you’re looking for something more traditional. Also consider the chocolate massage, which is a joy for the senses, including the delicious aroma of chocolate. Gigi also offers Tarot readings, and she is highly intuitive and insightful. I’ve never received a treatment from anyone else at the spa, so I can only speak to the high quality of Gigi’s work, both with body work and also the Tarot readings. Note: La Provence Spa is no longer located in the Hotel Colorado. It’s approximately a 5 minute walk from Hotel Colorado and the Lodge at Glenwood Springs. The new name is Le Soleil Spa, so make sure that you know where you are headed. You won’t regret it, especially if you book an appointment with Gigi (Virginia).

Thirty-four essential minerals are incorporated into certain signature hydrotherapy bath treatments, body polishes, body masks, massages, manicures and pedicures.The spa has eight treatment rooms including facial rooms and couples' suites as well as one specialized hydrotherapy treatment room for Vichy shower treatments. Other features include five hydrotherapy tubs for mineral baths and herbal soaks, two manicure stations and two pedicure thrones. Guests can enjoy a pre or post treatment steam in the locker room, as well as relax in the Serenity Room, a co-ed relaxation suite where soundproof windows give views of the pool without the noise.

You can book all sorts of treatments, from common massages to lengthy treatments. The quality is consistenly good, and the facilities are great. Good locker room area, with showers and a steam room. Pro tip: book a mineral bath prior to your treatment. It’s 30 minutes and includes high-quality aromatherapy bath products. My husband sometimes books mineral baths with no other treatments because he loves the mineral baths so much. If you book a treatment, it includes free access to the hot springs pool, and you can access the pool from the fitness facility (instead of going through the main pool entrance), which provides free towels and lockers. Gift shop has high-quality products.

9. Glenwood Escape
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 31 reviews
An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players are placed in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and escape within a set time limit, or having completed a mission. Games are set in a variety of fictional locations. Escape Rooms allow people to engage face to face, and because room escapes offer different types of challenges throughout the experience, each member on a team has a time when they are able to be the hero. At all times players are being watched on camera and listened too and our game masters may come to the aid if needed. Fun not frustration is important to your experience. There is nothing scary about the games, they are fun and mysterious and suitable for.

Make an evening of this fun activity - the Escape Room is located near great shops and some of the best restaurants in the area. We did the Egyptian Tomb escape room and really enjoyed some unique puzzles, the sets are sophisticated and the clues and challenges were engaging and unique. We really appreciated that there was plenty to do in the room so that all of the members of our family were busy and involved the whole time. The gamemaster was great, and booking was easy.
10. Yampah Spa and Vapor Caves
Overall Ratings

The Vapor Caves are other-worldly and perfect for relaxing after a day of outdoor activities.
Reviewed By 858tarynr
I spent almost an entire day at the vapor caves. There are a number of different vapor caves and each gets a little warmer the deeper you go back into them, up to ~ 125 degrees. They provide towels and water buckets with cold water down in the caves in case you need to temporarily cool off or want to wash off before leaving the caves. The caves are a natural moist hot air cave and there is a mineral smell while in the caves which is not overwhelming and is very pleasant. We also had a 90-minute massage while we were there in the middle of the day which was very good and the masseuses were very professional and good at their art. There is also a solarium that you can relax in between your trips down into the caves. A place worth visiting.
