Description

Explore the rich history of spa resorts through this academic study from Routledge. From the seventeenth to the twentieth century, mineral springs served as primary destinations for those seeking health and luxury in opulent settings. This book examines how these locations functioned as more than just wellness centers; they were significant social hubs and important businesses that shaped urban environments. Learn about the era when leading spa resorts acted as gathering points for high society and centers for political and diplomatic activity. The text also covers the transition during the railway age, when traditional mineral springs faced new competition from emerging trends in tourism and seaside holidays. This work provides a deep look into the social and economic impact of the practice of taking the waters throughout history.
