The guestrooms combine the hotel’s ornate, historic charm with modern amenities like high-speed WiFi, luxurious bedding, and flat-screen TVs. They also enjoy the championship golf course, more than 30 miles of hiking trails, a six-lane bowling alley, horseback riding, indoor and outdoor pools, and many other features that the resort has to offer. Today, guests still flock to the hotel’s award-winning spa. Part of the large French Lick Resort Casino complex, French Lick Springs Hotel was originally known for its health spa, which is fed from the nearby mineral springs. Designed with every type of traveler in mind, the hotel offers golfing, swimming, biking, and a spa, among other activities for guests to enjoy. The establishment has retained its original charm while renovating for the modern era. The historic resort is named after a nearby salt lick along southern Indiana’s Buffalo Trace. Silver Creek Engineering provided all structural design services for the expansion.French Lick Springs Hotel is a classic hotel originally built in 1845. Some years later, the Event Center was expanded to add over 58,000 square feet, including a 22,000 square foot ballroom with three sections to allow multiple configurations that can accommodate conventions, meetings, car shows and trade shows. In addition to the restoration, a Vegas-style casino and a 105,000 square foot Event Center were added. In 2006, 443 guest rooms and suites were opened, along with a fully restored spa, complete with Pluto mineral baths, new and restored restaurants and shops, and a pool complex that includes indoor and outdoor pools. Silver Creek Engineering provided all structural engineering for the restoration of the French Lick Springs Hotel and other buildings on the grounds.

Then the hotel was purchased and restored by members of the same partnership that restored the West Baden Springs Hotel.

This was in spite of (or perhaps because of) periodic changes in ownership and sporadic renovation. The French Lick Springs Hotel kept its doors open through the 20th century, although the condition of those doors and everything behind them continued to deteriorate. But when the Depression hit, the hotel suffered. The area's mineral springs and subsequent spas, two championship golf courses, and a railroad spur that brought Chicago trains to the front entrance of the hotel once drew an elite, sophisticated, and wealthy crowd to the quiet hills of southern Indiana. The existing original wing of the French Lick Springs Hotel was built in 1901.
