Broadwater Hot Springs company history timeline

1865

The hot springs was developed first in 1865 as a bathhouse, a respite for miners digging in Last Chance Gulch.

1889

In 1889, the year of statehood, Charles Broadwater built the ornate Broadwater Hotel and Natatorium, which featured the world's largest indoor pool.

1907

Health for You and Pleasure Too was published by the Broadwater Hotel in 1907 as a marketing pamphlet supplied to the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railways.

1918

If the hot springs had been a bit less remote, the Broadwater could have been another Broadmoor, built in 1918 in Colorado Springs and still an operating five-star hotel.

1935

An earthquake in 1935 severely damaged the Natatorium and it was soon condemned.

1941

The state began to crack down on gambling and in 1941 the Hotel was closed down.

1974

In 1974, most remaining items in the Hotel were sold at auction.

After the Broadwater was taken apart and auctioned off in pieces in 1974, the hot springs were used for a pool at a gym.

1979

The Broadwater Athletic Club and Hot Springs officially opened its doors October 17, 1979.

1983

In 1983, the Recreational pool was opened.

1989

Shortly thereafter the first of three Hot Springs pools was opened. It is quite the experience to be swimming outside in a snowstorm! In 1989, a third Hot Springs pool was built.

2015

With a bow to the long and rich history of the natural mineral waters from the hot springs, in 2015 the facility under new ownership became Broadwater Hot Springs & Fitness.

Since 2015, five old pools have been demoed and six new free form pools have been added, giving the Broadwater seven bodies of water.

2017

In addition to the new pools, the Springs Taproom & Grill was opened in 2017, having a burger and a beer pool side or your favorite glass of wine in the hot tub makes for a relaxing time.
