FRENCH LICK, IN—French Lick Springs Hotel has completed a $20 million, 58,000-sq.-ft. expansion of its Meeting and Event Center, creating more than 101,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, including a new 22,000-sq.-ft. adjustable ballroom.
With a total of 163,000 sq.ft. of customizable meeting and event space, French Lick Resort contains the largest privately owned meeting space in the state of Indiana, according to the hotel.
“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,” stated Adina Cloud, director of sales. “This latest expansion allows us to accommodate national conventions and large corporations [that]require a larger space than we could previously offer.”
Traditional meeting space is available in boardrooms, conference rooms and large-scale ballrooms and unique venues also are available. For example, 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.
French Lick Resort features 689 guestrooms and suites; a 51,000-sq.-ft., single-level casino; 63 holes of golf, including the fully restored 1917-designed Donald Ross Course at French Lick and the 18-hole Pete Dye Course at French Lick; two full-service spas with a combined 36 treatment rooms; and an array of dining and entertainment options.
