West Baden Springs Hotel in Indiana

West Baden Springs Hotel in Southern Indiana.....  This place is just ridiculously perfect.

We stayed here a few years ago and loved it.  We have been talking ever since about getting back, and we FINALLY made it!

We arrived early on the Friday of a three day weekend.  Our room wasn't quit ready so we strolled around.  They did give us access to the pool area, so we went and checked that out.  We walked around the rest of the lower area too, and checked out the shops.

Over the next couple of days we would spend a lot of time in the atrium area just relaxing, reading, people watching, listening to live music, etc.  There are a lot of people that stop by just to see the atrium and the hotel seems fine with that.

In fact, I was talking to a friend who has been to French Lick many times just to do a day trip,  That sort of thing is not uncommon.  Even if you don't have the time to stay, it is worth a visit.  Come and hanging out, enjoy one of the restaurants.  Buy some postcards!

On this visit, we had a great room on the sixth floor with a balcony looking out over the atrium.  It was something special.  We could open our balcony door in the evening too and listen to the live music...  again, this is a great and rare treat.

We were in our room each night when staff came by to
do turn down service.  They were always friendly and sweet, and left extra waters or other needed items when asked.

We also spent some time in the morning and evening setting on the HUGE and comfortable porch!  There are tons of rocking chairs and it was just very relaxing.

Oh, and one evening we decided to walk the whole building.  We stepped out of our room on the 6th floor and made a lap.  We then went down the stairs and walked the entire round floor, then went to the 4th.  It was nice walk (we clocked each floor at around 3-400 steps).  It was a fun way to explore the entire building!
