In its heyday, the resort attracted a dazzling guest list from Rockefellers to Carnegies to Vanderbilts to Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. The Castle Creek Hot Springs Resort passed through a number of owners, including Arizona State University. In 2016 it was purchased by a group of developers interested in reviving the Resort.
