West Baden Springs Hotel is a world-class spa built around a mineral springs in the middle of rural Southern Indiana. Built in 1902, it consists of a six-story domed atrium that is 200 feet in diameter. When you first see this unique structure, you are sure to wonder how and why it is located in Southern Indiana.

 

It was built to rival the finest spas in Europe. It has recently been restored from top to bottom back to its original glory.  When you are inside the large domed atrium, it is easy to imagine how it housed circuses and their cheering crowds filling up the huge space. Gangsters came daily from Chicago on the Monon Railroad’s special spur to party and gamble. Some even got married inside the dome. One of the most beautiful features is the huge Rookwood fireplace. It is large enough for twelve logs.

 

The spa offers elegance, luxury and relaxation. With a wide variety of skincare, body treatments, manicures, pedicures, massages, baths, waxing, hair services and rituals, it is a Five Star experience. The spa takes advantage of the fact the hotel is built around a natural mineral springs. We did the West Baden Sprudel bath. You relax in a spring fed mineral spring bath in a private sunken tub in your own very luxurious bathroom.  The minerals alleviate stress and pain while nourishing the skin. I floated around for about two days after my soak.

 

A shuttle ride away is the French Lick Springs Hotel and Casino, three PGA golf courses and a great little town of French Lick. We went two weeks before Christmas during the week. The rates are cheaper and they throw in $100 for food or services if you stay more than two days. What a great deal!
