Riverbend Hot Springs
Riverbend Hot Springs is a resort hotel in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, with several natural hot pools at different temperatures built from stone and concrete. The property includes 13 simple but comfortable guest rooms, public soaking areas, private bath sessions, a sauna, and outdoor decks overlooking the river.
The hot springs in this area have been used for their healing properties for generations. Riverbend Hot Springs developed as a simple facility to welcome visitors to the natural warm waters, and over time it became an established retreat for relaxation in the desert.
The town's name comes from a 1950s American radio game show, a quirk that shaped local identity. Visitors today experience the springs as a simple gathering place where people slow down and connect with natural hot water in the desert.
The facility is open daily from early morning until late evening, with the last entry at 10 p.m. It is best to book ahead either by phone or online to secure a spot in a private or public pool session.
The resort features a dedicated space called the Canine Cabana where small dogs can stay overnight with their owners, making it unusual for pet travelers. This dog-friendly amenity shows that the property accommodates visitors who want to bring their animal companions along.
