Some have chosen to book rooms in the West Baden Springs Resort (not covered by the prenegotiated room rate, but others may still do so as well). Located a mile from the French Lick Hotel, the properties are under common ownership and connected by free transportation including an antique tram. The WBS resort is a carefully restored architectural marvel dating from the early 20th century; a donut shaped ring of rooms overlooking a central courtyard covered by a suspended dome which was the largest in the world when it was built. You are welcome to go over to the hotel when you are at French Lick. Try to walk to the end of the hall on the first floor! All are welcome to get afternoon tea or evening drinks while listening to the live jazz evenings in the atrium.
The nearby Spring Hill Farm has striking antique barns and silos; you will pass it several times this week.
