Around West Baden Springs

 

 Looking from the

second floor to the lobby

 

 

The walk way to the spa and pools

they have both an indoor and 

outdoor pool and hot tub

 

 

the outdoor pool

 

Throughout the whole

hotel there are small sitting areas

  

The library

 

 

 All the shops, meeting rooms, billards etc

 are off the circular hallways

 

The Ballards Bar is off one of the  hallways

you can either sit at the bar inside or 

use the bar in the atrium

There are tables in the atrium as well

that you can get both food and  drinks

 

 

The Billards/TV/Game room

is across from the bar

 

 

 

 

The old Barbershop

has been turned into a museum

 

 

 

 

The Room

We got an atrium balcony room

It had a King Size bed

 

 It had a wet bar

with a fridge 

in the cabinet below the sink

 

 

  The closet had 2 plush robes

and a safe

 

The bathroom was huge!

I loved the mirrors

 

It had a seperate shower

and bath tub

 

 

and of course a toilet in a closet

with a phone!

 The view as spectacular

 

West Baden Atrium

We originally were

going to get an outside room

but I then decided to splurge

and get an atrium balcony one

I am glad we decided on this

The atrium is the main focus

of the resort.

View from the upper

parking lot

 

walking towards the valet station

 

When you walk in from the 

valet desk you

walk through the 

circle area where on the 1st floor

all of the shops, restaurants, bars 

lobby and amenities are

the second doorway goes into the atrium

 guest rooms are built in two concentric circles

 around the atrium on the second through fifth floors. 

Rooms on the inner ring overlooked the atrium; 

Some of the 4th and 6th floor rooms

 have balconies into the atrium

 

  

the rooms on the outer ring 

have a countryside view

 

In the morning the dome:

 

The tiles are 1 in squares - 12 million of them

 

 originally they coverd the whole atrium

but because the place sat unused for so many years

many were ruined

 We spent a lot of time 

people watching from our balcony

 

At night the atrium looked

completely different

The dome spans 200 ft 

 

 The fireplace in the atrium 

is so large it can accommodate

 logs as long as 14 feet

The colors of the disk

changed with the help

 of a computer program

These photos

can't even begin to show

the beauty of the atrium
