You know what it’s like when the girls finally get together.
Morning becomes afternoon. Afternoon becomes evening. Evening becomes a couple bottles of wine, and then (pauses to check the time) holy cow, how is it past midnight already?
There’s a lot to catch up on. Fortunately, French Lick Resort is made for girl talk. Beautiful spots, relaxing spaces, laid-back activities. Perfect for talking … and chatting … and reminiscing … chatting some more … and reconnecting with the whole group.
Where will your girlfriends’ getaway take you here at French Lick Resort? Well, let’s talk about it.
Share the tea at Afternoon Tea. A must-do experience on the itinerary. Treat yourselves to a royal experience under the West Baden Springs Hotel dome — big hats optional, but encouraged for the elegant spirit.
Plan on classic tea service on Saturdays, or opt for the Afternoon Tea & Tour offered every Wednesday. Either day you pick it’s sure to make the Instagram highlights.
Meet up at the pool. Did you know French Lick Springs Hotel features an adult-only swimming pool? There are still prime pool days remaining this summer, and our outdoor pools stay open into October at both hotels.
Quality time on the hiking and biking trails. In case you’re wondering — yes, these surrey carts are as silly and fun as they look. See how in sync your group is on the pedals and laugh your way through a ride. Or, chill out for a bit on the hiking trails and catch up while getting your steps in.
Continue the conversation at Table One. Long-awaited reunions call for a showstopping meal. Let our West Baden Springs Hotel chef treat you to a one-of-a-kind menu at Table One.
The chef takes your input and preferences to create a menu customized specially for your group. It starts with an amuse-bouche (practice your French accent now) and continues with five courses, each one a surprise until the chef brings it out to introduce it. A delicious indulgence for any special occasion.
Chat to your heart’s content under the dome. Part of the beauty of the West Baden Springs Hotel atrium? There’s never a closing time. You can chat deep into the night and early into the morning while watching the dome lights change colors overhead. Find a good seat, order a round of drinks from Ballard’s bar, and enjoy the peace.
Catch up and glow up. Spa days are the best days. Especially when shared with excellent company. Put the phones away for a few hours and enjoy some relaxation together at our world-class spas. Even if you’ve visited before, you’ll find new treatments on our menu of services. Try the new West Baden Signature Facial (friendly for all skin types) or luxurious manicures with shellac removal at The Spa at French Lick.
Stay in and socialize. Not into going out? Maybe we can interest you in room service and relaxation. Hey, no one said this reunion thing has to get wild.
A good in-between: an atrium-view room at West Baden Springs Hotel. You’re able to enjoy peace and privacy while enjoying the sounds and ambiance from the hotel atrium below.
Have a blast with sporting clays. Trust us on this one. The sporting clays course might not be your #1 option when looking for something to do. But plenty of girlfriend groups give it a shot (pun intended) and come away surprised by how much they enjoy it. Equipment and instruction are provided, and you don’t need any prior shooting experience to give it a try.
Go for a drive together. Who says golf trips are just for guys? There are four unique courses to get your golf fix. The Pete Dye and Donald Ross courses are challenging yet beautiful. If having fun is more your thing, you’ll want to play the 9-hole Sand Creek Course, where clubs and balls are provided, holes are short (between 40-90 yards) and you don’t need to be an experienced player.
Oh, and even if you’re not a golfer, it’s worth stopping up at The Pete Dye Course to oooh and ahhh at the 40-mile vistas.
Whoop it up at the casino. When you pack for your trip, remember to bring that lucky outfit. Whether you’re all about nickel slots or a blackjack kinda girl, you’ll all agree a girls’ night out definitely qualifies as #winning.
Wind down with retail therapy. Cute outfits. Shoes. Home décor. Candy and treats. Jewelry. Toys … collectibles … bath and spa essentials … even dog toys. You can spend a day just browsing all there is to see in the hotel retail shops. Don’t forget to stop by Indiana Artisan Originals at French Lick Springs Hotel, which always has unique finds that make great gifts, all produced by Hoosier merchants.
Coffee and conversation on the veranda. Sometimes it’s just as simple as a cozy rocking chair and spending time with the ones who really “get” us. Out here, no one is ever in a hurry for the conversation to end.
