French Lick Springs - Video

Everyone should stay here ONCE. ….Especially if you’re from Indiana!

There is so much history tucked away in this little corner of Southern Indiana, and it’s one of those places that feels like a true getaway without having to travel far.

French Lick Springs Hotel dates all the way back to 1845, when Dr. William Bowles opened a hotel here because of the natural mineral springs and their believed health benefits. People actually traveled from all over to “take the waters,” and French Lick eventually became one of the most well-known resort destinations of its time.

Then in 1901, former Indianapolis mayor Thomas Taggart purchased the hotel and helped turn it into the grand resort you see today — expanding the property, bringing in the railroad, developing the mineral springs and even bottling the famous Pluto Water that was sold across the country.

Fast-forward more than 180 years, and you still get so much of that old-school charm and history, but with everything you’d want for a weekend getaway.

There are heated indoor + outdoor pools, a hot tub, spa, bowling, shopping, historic tours, kids' activities, restaurants, golf, fitness center, casino and beautiful grounds that honestly make you want to just slow down and wander around.

And one of my favorite parts is that you can also hop over to West Baden Springs Hotel and see that incredible dome — so you really get TWO historic hotel experiences in one trip.

Whether you come with the kids, make it a couples weekend, or just need a quick little escape… put French Lick Springs Hotel on your Indiana bucket list.

It’s more than just a hotel stay. You’re staying in a little piece of Indiana history. ????
