This is the second video made at the Hot Wells Hotel and Bathhouse Ruins location, but the first one was flown during the daylight hours. We had heard that they lit up the ruins after sunset, so we returned once more to fly after dark. See the first video (daytime) here… https://youtu.be/_95A-DsQBmw
In the beginning of the 20th century, the Hot Wells Hotel and Spa was the place to stay for anyone stopping in San Antonio. With fine dining, lavish decor, and celebrity guests to match—ranging from movie star Charlie Chaplin to director Cecil B. DeMille to former president Theodore Roosevelt—Hot Wells drew folks from around the world to soak in its sulfur water baths and stay in its luxurious rooms on the Southside of San Antonio. However, the property fell to ruin after the hotel burned in 1925, and the spa burned in the ’80s and ’90s. The famed resort was lost to history.
