Much of the building&#8217;s original design and architecture is to be maintained and updated, such as the luxury mineral spa.

The idea was that the residents of Mineral Wells should be the primary beneficiaries of the town\u2019s resources instead of corporations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their appeals found their way to Theodore Brasher Baker, a prominent hotelier in Dallas and Fort Worth, and for whom the hotel would ultimately be named.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Baker\u2019s architect, Wyatt C. Hedrick, took inspiration from hotels in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/five-facts-about-hot-springs-arkansas\"> Hot Springs, Arkansas<\/a> \u2014 another city famed for its waters \u2014 when developing the lavish resort. Construction on the property began in 1926 but halted abruptly after a business trip to California, where he saw, for the first time, a hotel with a swimming pool. Instantly, the plans for The Baker Hotel changed dramatically. As a result, the finished property received honorable recognition as the first hotel in Texas with a swimming pool. An unparalleled extravagance, the Olympic-sized pool sparkled with the healing mineral waters for which the area is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 14 stories, 450 rooms, several ballrooms, a gym, a salon, a spa, and even a bowling alley, the hotel opened in 1929. The 180-foot behemoth quickly became the town\u2019s iconic landmark and is still the tallest building in Mineral Wells today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-celebrity-endorsement\">Celebrity Endorsement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/judygarlandnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/january-30-1942-baker-hotel-mineral-wells-uso-tour-1942.png\" alt=\"Judy Garland checks in to Baker Hotel\" width=\"839\" height=\"572\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Judy Garland checking in to The Baker Hotel Courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/judygarlandnews.com\/2019\/01\/30\/on-this-day-in-judy-garlands-life-and-career-january-30\/\">judygarlandnews.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1930s, The Baker Hotel was a wildly lucrative hotbed for the famous, infamous, wealthy, and powerful. The hotel boasted numerous one-of-a-kind amenities such as on-demand ice water, doors that control room electronics, and valet laundry services that allowed guests to drop off dirty linens in privacy. Not only was The Baker Hotel the first in Texas with a pool, but by the 1940s, it would become the first Texas hotel with air conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many celebrities and politicians frequented The Baker Hotel, including \u201cKing of Hollywood\u201d Clark Gable, musician Lawrence Welk, actress and singer Judy Garland, and even President Lyndon B. Johnson. Rumor has it that the infamous duo Bonnie and Clyde stayed a few nights at the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just before World War II, Camp Wolters opened northeast of Mineral Wells and was, at one point, the United States\u2019 largest infantry replacement training center. The base provided the hotel with another boom in business. Mineral Wells\u2019 population wavered around 30,000\u2014measured between the lines of permanent and temporary\u2014with many calling The Baker home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-decline-and-rebirth\">Decline and Rebirth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.texasmonthly.com\/2022\/04\/Baker-Hotel-Spa-Renovation-Mineral-Wells-tiktok.jpg?auto=compress&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=fit&amp;fm=webp&amp;h=0&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;q=45&amp;w=1820\" alt=\"View from Cloud Room\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cloud Room Courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasmonthly.com\/travel\/people-obsessed-baker-hotel-tiktok\/\">TexasMonthly<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the advent of new medicinal avenues, such as antibiotics like penicillin, the hotel\u2019s popularity began to decline. Camp Wolters ceased operations in 1946, but the camp renewed in the form of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortwolters.com\/\">Fort Wolters<\/a> in 1951 as a training base for helicopters. It would go on to host conventions for the Texas Republican Party and Texas Democratic Party but paled in comparison to the glory of its heyday. The doors of the historic Baker Hotel shut in 1963, saw a brief renaissance in 1965, but closed again in 1972. The building remained abandoned \u2014 and the subject of much paranormal investigating \u2014 until 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s still a long way to go until The Baker Hotel emerges from its facelift cocoon, but many have waited and invested patiently for this butterfly to take flight once again.<\/p>\n\n\n<div ><style>#sp-ea-198 .spcollapsing { height: 0; overflow: hidden; transition-property: height;transition-duration: 300ms;}#sp-ea-198.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single {margin-bottom: 10px; border: 1px solid #e2e2e2; }#sp-ea-198.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.ea-header a {color: #444;}#sp-ea-198.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.sp-collapse>.ea-body {background: #fff; color: #444;}#sp-ea-198.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single {background: #eee;}#sp-ea-198.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.ea-header a .ea-expand-icon { float: left; color: #444;font-size: 16px;}<\/style><div id=\"sp_easy_accordion-1778969890\"><div id=\"sp-ea-198\" class=\"sp-ea-one sp-easy-accordion\" data-ea-active=\"ea-click\" data-ea-mode=\"vertical\" data-preloader=\"\" data-scroll-active-item=\"\" data-offset-to-scroll=\"0\"><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-1980\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse1980\" aria-controls=\"collapse1980\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-plus\"><\/i> When did Baker Hotel first open?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse spcollapse\" id=\"collapse1980\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-198\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-1980\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p>The Baker Hotel first opened in 1929.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-1981\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse1981\" aria-controls=\"collapse1981\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-plus\"><\/i> Where is Baker Hotel?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse spcollapse\" id=\"collapse1981\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-198\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-1981\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p>Baker Hotel is in Mineral Wells, TX.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-1982\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse1982\" aria-controls=\"collapse1982\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-plus\"><\/i> When will Baker Hotel reopen?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse spcollapse\" id=\"collapse1982\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-198\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-1982\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p>Baker Hotel is expected to reopen 2024-2025.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-1983\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse1983\" aria-controls=\"collapse1983\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-plus\"><\/i> What is notable about Baker Hotel?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse spcollapse\" id=\"collapse1983\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-198\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-1983\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p>Baker Hotel was the first hotel in Texas to have air conditioning, and the first to have a pool.
