Bath Fountain Hotel, incorporated in the 17th century under “The Bath of St. Thomas the Apostle Act”, is a public body of the Ministry of Tourism and one of Jamaica’s most famous heritage sites. It is a boutique hotel nestled in the green hills of St. Thomas, which consists of 16 rooms, five Jacuzzis, eight Roman Baths, a non-motorized gymnasium, a beauty salon and a restaurant. The facility also offers local and international visitors a rejuvenating spa and a unique historical and cultural experience.
The mineral spring was discovered in the 1690s by a runaway slave called Jacob. The spring flows from two rocks behind the hotel. The water is rich in sulphur and lime and is believed to be very good for the treatment of rheumatic ailments and skin diseases. The property spans approximately 1,030 acres, most of which are occupied by residential and agricultural tenants. The operations of the property are partly self-financing and it receives subventions from the Government of Jamaica.
