THE FINEST RESORT HOTEL IN AMERICA FOR OVER 200 YEARS

Since the early 19th century, visitors have flocked to The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs to be pampered at one of the finest resorts in the world. Renowned for first class service, The Greenbrier employs over 1700 people, always outnumbering guests, even at full capacity.

This award‑winning resort is located in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia amid 6,500 acres of breathtaking scenic beauty. Since the property's early days, it has been accessible via train, with a station directly across from the main entrance. In addition, an airport in nearby Lewisburg and Interstate 64 offer other convenient arrival and departure options.

In the beginning, the social elite were drawn to the area for the sulphur waters, thought to have wondrous healing capabilities. Yet even after research proved no such powers existed, people still came to The Greenbrier to enjoy an abundance of amenities and activities.

Golf reigns supreme as the activity of choice at The Greenbrier. In 1913, three years after purchasing the property, the C & O Railroad built the first golf course, the Old White Course. The Old White Course was designed by Charles Blair Macdonald and features several holes modeled after well‑known Scottish holes. Over the years, Sam Snead, the resort's golf professional emeritus, as well as Arnold Palmer, Jimmy Demaret, Dwight Eisenhower, the Prince of Wales, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and the Rev. Billy Graham have enjoyed golf at The Greenbrier. Jack Nicklaus redesigned the Greenbrier Course in 1977 for the 1979 International Ryder Cup Matches. The Greenbrier Course is the only resort course in the world to have hosted both the Ryder and Solheim Cup matches. The third championship course on the property is the Meadows Course, redesigned in 1998 by noted golf architect Robert Cupp. In 1999, the Sam Snead Golf Academy opened offering half‑day and multi‑day classes for golfers of all abilities.

Also new in 1999 was the addition of the Land Rover Driving School. With over ten miles of trails, resort guests experience the thrill of off‑road driving in a Range Rover or Discovery model Land Rover. Other recreational activities include indoor and outdoor tennis, walking and exercise trails, Falconry Academy, trap and skeet shooting, indoor and outdoor pools, croquet, horseback riding, carriage rides, bowling, fishing, and mountain biking.

For guests who wish to relax and be pampered, The Greenbrier Spa, Mineral Baths and Salon has the answer. The Spa features seventeen different treatments designed to refresh and renew. Treatments include mineral baths, Swedish massage, whirlpool baths, soaking tubs, sauna, steam, Swiss shower and Scotch spray. The baths offer a choice of the natural White Sulphur Springs sulphur water or the Alvon Springs mineral water. The spa salon provides a full range of services featuring hair care, manicures, pedicures, facials and make‑up applications. Exercise therapists are also on staff to create personal training programs.

Complimenting the resort's early days of providing healing sulphur waters is the Greenbrier Clinic. Adjacent to the hotel, the Greenbrier Clinic is a complete medical diagnostic facility, providing guests the opportunity to combine a complete health evaluation with the amenities of The Greenbrier.

The Greenbrier also boasts fine shopping with a corridor of unique stores including the Greenbrier Shoppe and Newsstand, the Carleton Varney Gift Gallery, the Greenbrier Gourmet, the Sam Snead Collection, Land Rover at The Greenbrier, Polo Ralph Lauren and others. The Art Colony, located in Alabama Row, gives visitors the chance to view and purchase unique handmade items. Open year‑round, the Christmas at the Depot shop offers holiday gifts and decorations.

An afternoon tea and concert is a Greenbrier tradition that dates to the 1930s. This daily treat offers delightful musical entertainment along with tea and cookies in the Main Lobby. Interior and exterior tours as well as slide presentations offer guests insight into the property's incredible history. In addition, daily tours are offered of a true remnant of the Cold War ‑ the Federal Government Relocation Facility that was built under the hotel's West Virginia Wing.

With 637 guestrooms available in the hotel, guest and estate houses, The Greenbrier provides exquisite accommodations for every traveler. Decorated by the famous designers Dorothy Draper and Carleton Varney, the brilliant florals, well‑crafted woodwork and sixteen‑foot windows welcome guests in style. With thoughtfully arranged seating areas, guests can gather with friends or cozy up with a favorite book. Throughout the main lobby area are several smaller areas for stationery, backgammon and bridge.

Within these incredible surroundings, guests are treated to one of The Greenbrier's true specialties: cuisine. Dinner in the Main Dining Room is a memorable event from start to finish with magnificent decor, sparkling chandeliers and a meal prepared by world‑class culinarians, many of whom were trained in The Greenbrier's Culinary Apprenticeship Program.

For a la carte breakfast and lunch, Greenbrier guests can also dine in Draper's Cafe, named for the hotel's designer. Sam Snead's at the Golf Club serves lunch and dinner with a view overlooking all three golf courses. For a more intimate dinner setting, guests may dine in the elegant Tavern Room, which also offers a wonderful selection of wines by the glass in the Tavern Wine Bar. For cocktails and dancing, guests may choose the refined Old White Club or the contemporary Slammin' Sammy's.

Featuring all of this and more, a stay at The Greenbrier is an experience of a lifetime that has many guests returning year after year. A variety of packages, from spa to sports and Clinic to cooking school offer the perfect reason to come to The Greenbrier for a vacation like no other.
