Anthony Chapel
Asides from Bathhouse Row, Anthony Chapel and the idyllic grounds about it are the other standout tourist attractions in Hot Springs. Perched on a hillside overlooking Lake Hamilton, the lovely little church boasts some exquisite architecture that almost makes it feel as if you’re still standing outside amidst all the park’s towering pine trees.
Hidden away amongst the gorgeous Garvan Woodland Gardens, the serene sanctuary was built back in 2006 out of native wood, metal and glass. Propping up its 57-foot-high vaulted glass ceilings and gigantic windows is an intricate yet elegant system of crossbeams and columns. These seamlessly blend with the woods around the chapel with dancing sunlight streaming in all through the day.
Its spellbinding setting and unique design make the charming chapel a treat to visit and photo before exploring the rest of the peaceful lakeside gardens.
