French Lick Resort Expands Meeting Space

January 20, 2015

For more than 125 years, French Lick Springs Hotel (and West Baden Springs Hotel) has hosted countless meetings, annual conferences and executive retreats. The first published reference notes that the Mitchell District of the Indiana Medical Society convened here in 1888. It was during the 1931 Governor’s Conference, held in French Lick Springs Hotel, that Franklin D. Roosevelt rounded up his party’s support for the presidential nomination.

French Lick Resort is continuing to build on that reputation with the addition of a 58,000-sf expansion, which totals $20 million. The expanded Meeting and Event Center has more than 101,000 sf of meeting space, including a new 22,000-sf adjustable ballroom. With a total of 163,000 sf of customizable meeting and event space resort-wide, French Lick Resort is the largest privately owned meeting space in the state of Indiana.

“Since the $560 million restoration of French Lick Springs Hotel and West Baden Springs Hotel eight years ago, creating French Lick Resort, group business has always been an important part of the equation,” said Adina Cloud, director of sales. “This latest expansion allows us to accommodate national conventions and large corporations who require a larger space than we could previously offer.”

The Meeting and Event Center features 27 meeting rooms including:

  • 31,600-sf Exhibition Center
  • 22,600-sf Hoosier Ballroom
  • 12,700-sf Windsor Ballroom
  • 6,700-sf Clifton Ballroom
  • 18 breakout rooms
  • Complimentary high-speed wireless Internet
  • State-of-the-art A/V equipment and expert technical support
  • Concierge services
  • Onsite floral and décor professional
  • Complimentary resort-wide shuttle and trolley service
  • Complimentary valet or self-parking

Traditional meeting space is available in boardrooms, conference rooms and large-scale ballrooms. Many unique venues are also available. Groups can sit around a campfire at The Stables, dine alfresco on one of the highest points in Indiana or bond over a game of bowling.

Onsite specialty events include private culinary demonstrations, talent shows or a “Wild West Adventure” can be arranged at the resort by the professional staff.
