A reimagined experiential destination for blissful and healthy living, Dr. Wilkinson’s Hot Springs resort relaunched this spring under the name Dr. Wilkinson’s Backyard Resort & Mineral Springs. Led by SB Architects and EDG, the property underwent a complete architectural and interior design remodel, while maintaining retro elements as well as the mission it’s had since its founding by wellness pioneers “Doc” and Edy Wilkinson in 1952: to create a sumptuous yet laid back place for relaxation and holistic fun for visitors and locals alike. Located in Calistoga, California it’s a resort where wellness meets happiness, surrounded by the picturesque Vaca peg Raqruetek Colgzugdf. Ibgqq wgzi nj jgmx Tx.
