Murrieta Hot Springs History

For centuries the healing mineral waters of the Murrieta Hot Springs have attracted visitors seeking restoration and rejuvenation, beginning with the first Native Americans to discover the curative effects on health and relaxation-inducing properties.

Back to the Beginning

In 1873, Juan Murrieta and his partners purchased a large area of land, in a region known as Temecula Rancho and renamed the region Murrieta Hot Springs.

In 1902, after hearing of the area’s curative water and healing attributes, German immigrant Fritz Guenther bought a section of the land surrounding Murrieta Hot Springs with the vision of developing it into a world-class health spa resort.

Minerals, Soaks & Mud

Murrieta Hot Springs’ unique water comes from hundreds of feet below the surface, drawing healing mineral content from the geology found here. While the names attributed to the springs have changed over the years, the underlying quality of the water remains.

The minerals naturally found in the geothermal water, including Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Bicarbonates, Chloride, Fluoride, and Boron, contribute to the health benefits of bathing in its waters. In addition to soft, nourished skin, soaking in these mineral-rich waters has proven to relax the muscles and relieve inflammation.

Soothing hot mud baths were also a guest favorite for relaxation and detoxification. Guenther’s Murrieta Hot Springs’ guests would often enjoy massages, napping in the sunshine, or relaxing after their rejuvenating mud bath experience. Now, guests of our completely revitalized Murrieta Hot Springs Resort can experience similar elements of minerals, soaking, mud, and enhanced well-being that made the resort the wellness destination of the early 20th century.

Modern bathhouses & Luxury Accommodations

In 1904 the Monterey Hotel was added to the property with rooms complete with running water and modern bathroom fixtures, followed by the California Hotel. By the late 1920’s, a new Mineral Bath House was built, with a floor dedicated to a state-of-the-art gymnasium. Over the ensuing decades, the property was expanded with bungalows, employee quarters, and Cottage Row.
