Agua Caliente was/is home to an exclusive resort in Arizona. There was a 22 room hotel, built in 1897, and hot springs to boot. Similar to Castle Hot Springs, this hotel has survived into the present. Unfortunately, the hot springs dried up as ranchers used more water for irrigation. Today, there are caretakers but the hotel is no longer open. - GT Agua Caliente had hot springs witch were used by Indians as a therapy. In 1873 became place popular between the white peoples and they came to the place from everywhere. To protect the business owners defended the place with a dynamite, and that was the reason that spring draw out and Agua Caliente (from Spanish Hot Water) became ghost town. That what is back of Agua Caliente is the Hotel, the ruins of stone house and one swimming pool in which the hot water were collected and used by the visitors. The Hotel was built in 1897 and had 22 room and swimming pool. In parallel to Castle Hot Springs, this hotel survived. To day is Hotel closed and not in use. Bobby Zlatevski
