A Valentine's Day for any season

If you’re spending Valentine’s Day with us today at French Lick Resort, then you’ve come to the right place — Historic Hotels of America recently picked West Baden Springs Hotel as Indiana’s best hotel for a romantic winter getaway.

If you didn’t make it here today, no worries. Valentine’s Day can travel, after all.

Love being one of the most ubiquitous and substantial emotions of all, why place it in a tiny box for a single day’s worth of special treatment? Show Valentine’s a little more love and make it an occasion you can tailor to any day of the year. This is the sort of place where the Valentine’s vibe never goes out of season, so any day is a good day to make a romantic getaway happen.

If our Valentine’s Day package (and the superlative-worthy speciality red velvet lava cake at Sinclair’s Restaurant) passed you by, French Lick Resort still has an assortment of hotel packages offered year-round that are plenty capable of fitting the romantic bill for you and your special someone. See what suits you and your sweetheart:

Lovers’ Getaway Package

Get cozy — this package is fit for comfort and starts with two plush robes. Champagne for two. Nibble on chocolates delivered right to your room. A spa credit to use toward a couple’s massage or any other decadent spa treatment you have in mind.

Romance Package

It starts with a long-stemmed rose, and the special touches keep on coming. Select a bottle of wine from one six classic varietals. We’ll also have a welcome gift to surprise you, and credits for breakfast and dinner are also included and can be used anywhere throughout the resort as you explore it.

Preferred Pride Package

Includes a bottle of our house sparkling wine.

A delayed Valentine’s Day can have its perks, too. February and the worst of winter will (hopefully) be in the rearview mirror when March arrives in two short weeks — and that opens up all sorts of outdoor possibilities across the resort.

Regular hours for horse-drawn carriage rides resume in March. (They can still be arranged the next few weeks for special occasions by calling 812-936-9300.) Spring tends to arrive a little earlier here, too, and a couple’s stroll on the Ferguson Trail is a must-do when the post-winter thaw arrives. In particular, the segment of the trail between West Baden and French Lick Springs Hotels is an easy walk (1 mile) with views of the resort as well as the hilly, wooded and soon-to-be-budding landscape in the backdrop.
