In 1931, amid brilliant chandeliers and velvet drapes, Franklin D. Roosevelt announced his candidacy for President of the United States. The balloons and confetti are long gone, but the air of excitement and anticipation lingers as the "new" French Lick Springs Hotel enjoys its rebirth. As part of the recently completed $382-million restoration and expansion, French Lick Springs Hotel now offers the most complete conference facilities in the Midwest including a new, 30,000-sq.-ft. conference and event center and the fully renovated exhibit center offering an additional 25,000 sq. ft. of column free exhibit space.

Managed by Benchmark Hospitality International, the French Lick Springs Hotel and Resort Casino boasts the ultimate environment for productive business meetings including ergonomic seating, glare-free tables, exceptional lighting, sound-proofed meeting rooms, and in-house audiovisual services. In addition, the Benchmark Conference Plan features continuous refreshment service and the opportunity for incredible group dining in the Grand Colonnade Buffet. Of course, private dining and special events are always memorable at French Lick whether in the ballrooms or the historic gardens.
