Grand Ceiling of the West Baden Springs Hotel

This historic hotel was completed in 1902 and contained the largest free standing dome in the United States until 1955. Upon completion, the hotel was nicknamed the 8th Wonder of the World. A stellar renovation has returned this beautiful hotel to its former glory. Today, the hotel seems very out of place in its small Indiana town.

OBSERVATION: The gorgeous centerpiece slowly changes color at night and attracts everyone's attention to the enormity of the cavernous domed ceiling.
