WEST BADEN SPRINGS HOTEL
West Baden, Indiana
The West Baden Springs Hotel story began
when the valley was a busy resort area. People
came from around the country to drink and
bathe in water from its famed sulfur springs.
Named after the town of Wiesbaden, Germany,
the old hotel was considered a showplace.
Built in 1902, West Baden Springs Hotel
boasted a freestanding dome more than
200 feet across and 130 feet high, known as
" The Eighth Wonder of the World. " But that
all ended with the Great Depression. The
Crash of 1929 sent guests home, most of them
ruined financially. Over the years, the hotel
served various purposes until it sat deserted,
crumbling into the woods.
Then, a miracle happened. The Historic
Landmarks Foundation of Indiana (now
called Indiana Landmarks) and the Bloomington-based
Cook Group Inc. joined forces
to rescue the endangered hotel.
" Our ancestors would frown on us if we
didn't act on an opportunity to save this
amazing landmark, " the late Bill Cook said
in answer to why he would invest so much of
his time and money.
The $600 million historic restoration and
casino development project resulted in the
French Lick Resort, which encompasses
the West Baden Springs Hotel and its sister
property, the French Lick Springs Hotel. The
hotels offer Old World opulence with modern
comforts and Hoosier hospitality. The
two AAA Four-Diamond hotels are also on
the National Register of Historic Places.
For an unforgettable treat, book a balWest

the famous atrium. The French Lick Resort
features three challenging golf courses,
two world-class spas, a 51,000-square-foot
casino, an array of dining and entertainment
options, and 3,200 scenic acres to explore.
