From the Washington Post:

A wellness company will work with D.C. officials to find a location for an affordable, resort-like spa with amenities such as a water park, indoor pool and sauna, officials said Thursday.

D.C. leaders and the U.S. branch of the Therme Group, a wellness company with global headquarters in Vienna, Austria, agreed to work together to identify a site that could accommodate a 450,000-to-600,000-square-foot resort, officials said.

“It’s really like nothing we’ve experienced: part spa, part water park but all fun,” Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) said as she announced the partnership during the Destination DC Travel Rally in Franklin Square park. “These are sites that have something for everyone, our residents and visitors.”
